ONLINE SHOP TEMPORARILY CLOSURE
Hello,
I hope everyone is well. We are taking a business vacation until early February 2021. Our website continues to be open; however, the online shopping will be disabled until then. Our 2020 was a busy year, with hard work and many achievements. We will be back with fresh new designs and exciting news. Please stay tuned for our updates. Should you have any inquiries please send an email through our address. Our response time may be delayed but we will get back to you as soon as we can. Our apologies for the inconvenience.
New studio location!
Hello!
Hello! MIMIDALE DESIGNS studio is now located on beautiful Vancouver island. Vancouver island is in the Pacific northwest, and in the Canadian province of British Columbia. This move was truly special, and we feel pretty lucky to be surrounded by this beautiful West Coast nature. Here is an inspirational quote that pretty much sums up why we moved...
“If your world doesn’t allow you to dream, move to one where you can.”
-Billy Idol
Have a great day everyone :)
Mizuhiki (水引)
Rather than expressing one's feelings directly through words, the Japanese discreetly wrap mizuhiki cords around their gifts for the recipient to sense their intentions.
Asa (麻)
Asa (麻) is translated to hemp, and it is native to Japan. Because of its durability and fast growing nature, Asa was one of the main crops in Japan until about 1945. In Japanese culture this Asa pattern was thought to spell out negative energy and thus used as a talisman. It is easy to believe why many Kimono worn by children had this Asa pattern; because there was limited food supply and scarce medical knowledge many children did not survive their infant years. The Japanese hoped for healthy growth for their children by printing the Asa pattern on their Kimono. Today the Asa pattern and fabric is still widely used for Japanese art and summer clothing.
Happy New Year 2020 and Welcome to MIMIDALE DESIGNS official site!
