Mimi & August

Their story started in co-owner Camille Forcherio’s little homemade workshop in her parents’ house. After studying in design, she started creating custom swimsuits for her friends and family, without realizing that swimsuits were really popular among her entourage. Shortly after, during a fashion show, she met future co-owner Joao Crisostomo.

Both decided to combine their expertise and create their first label “Mimi Hammer Swimwear”. By the end of summer 2015, they created their second label “August”. With this label, they wanted to create well-designed products for an everyday lifestyle. That’s why Mimi & August is the union between their two brands that shares the same values. Illustrations is at the core of the Montreal based company.

"Since the beginning we have valued attention to small details and fair production, which is why we work with small factories that enable economic development and sustainable job creation... Our goal is to make quality products rather than to have an overflowing inventory."
