Who we are

   Environmental concern combined with a taste for design and handicraft gave rise to MIMOARTE.COM, an environmentally friendly brand.

   The brand name is an acronym of the creator Maria Inês MedeirosOliveira, Clothing Engineer.

   The adventure began when the European Football Championship was held in 2004, which brought a lot of publicity to our country. At that time, many PVC advertising tarps appeared, a means of ephemeral use and with an unlimited useful life. After being used for advertising, most of the time the canvas ends up in incineration or in a landfill, as there are still few companies recycling this type of material. What to do with these materials? That's how mimoarte.com was born, giving them a second life.

   MIMOARTE.COM was created in 2006, it is an eco design brand that practices upcycling. Its main objective is to reuse materials that would go to waste. Such as PVC advertising screens, hide and leather waste, textile waste, among others, from various industrial companies, municipalities and theatres. In this way we help to reduce industrial waste as well as to raise the awareness of our partners. Resulting from this use, original and unique fashion accessories, handcrafted and with the possibility of being customized by our customers. Most of our articles are designed for those who want to “be different” and with an ecological conscience.

   Over the years, Mimoarte.com has been reusing other types of materials, such as linoleum and vinyl soles, fabric waste from cutting, plastic and tetra pack packaging, paper and cardboard, among others. And we are always thinking of new ideas and new materials. 

   Articles made with reused materials often have imperfections, as do not forget that this raw material has already served for other purposes. And as they are handmade, small imperfections may appear. In addition to these materials, we also use new materials such as leather, synthetic leather, fabrics, burel, among others.
