As it is the birth of a new year, fittingly today's blog entry is about a company that knows the baby industry like none other - MIKI HOUSE.
Established in 1978 in Osaka, MIKI HOUSE has been making in roads in children's fashion for more than 30 years. The company's founder and current CEO, Koichi Kimura, started the business when he was just 26 years of age. Seeing an opportunity to satisfy the needs of young parents who wanted fashionable clothes for their children, Mr. Kimura put the wheels in motion to create stylish but at the same time quality children's apparel.
What started out as just one brand has now blossomed to five (outlined below).
- MIKI HOUSE (casual line for boys and girls ages 6 months to 9 years)
- MIKI HOUSE FIRST (line for babies and infants from newborn to 12 months)
- MIKI HOUSE DOUBLE B (American casual denim line for boys and girls ages 6 months to 9 years)
- MIKI HOUSE HOT BISCUITS (colorful line for boys and girls ages 6 months to 5 years)
- MIKI HOUSE COLLECTION (formal line for boys and girls ages 2 to 9 years)
Wanting not to be known as just a children's apparel manufacturer, Mr. Kimura has since expanded the company's offerings to total baby care, publishing, and child-rearing while setting up operations in nine countries globally.
In addition to its focus on improving the lives of children, MIKI HOUSE is a proud sponsor of Japanese olympic athletes. The past the company has supported athletes in swimming, judo, synchronized swimming, table tennis, tennis, and baton twirling.
MIKI HOUSE is just another example of an Osaka-based company trying to improve the lives of those around us.
