Our Story
About the brand - Atelier Mizuni
Welcome to Atelier Mizuni, a brand born from a shared passion and a journey that began in the heart of Asia. We are a multicultural couple who, during our long travels in this vibrant continent, decided to bring our dream to life by blending the traditional with the contemporary, inspired by the timeless beauty of Asian, particularly Japanese, culture.
Our Inspiration
Our love for Asia, especially Japan, has always been a source of inspiration for us. The kimono, with its detailed craftsmanship and deep cultural roots, held a particular fascination. Yet, in the pace of today’s world, wearing such traditional pieces felt out of reach for our daily lives. This sparked an idea: why not reinvent the kimono in a way that fits seamlessly into the modern wardrobe? It was this desire that led us to create Atelier Mizuni. With Atelier Mizuni, we set out to do just that. Our aim is to craft unique garments inspired by traditional attire but tailored for today's world. We envisioned creating pieces that stand apart from the fleeting trends, offering something enduring and meaningful.
Our Mission
At Atelier Mizuni, our mission is clear: to craft unique garments that resonate with individuals who appreciate a unique blend of tradition and contemporary design and who value quality just as much as design. We opt for materials like linen, wool, and cotton, which are kind to both people and the planet. Our latest collection embraces circular materials, repurposing luxury fabric remnants from names like Loro Piana and Burberry into something new and beautiful. This approach not only gives these high-quality materials a second life but also aligns with our commitment to sustainability.
Our Approach
Being a small brand, we value the relationships we’ve built with other small artisans who help us bring our visions to life. These partnerships enable us to produce garments with a story, each piece crafted with attention to detail and care. Transparency is key to us. We believe in openly sharing how our garments come to be, from material costs to the making process, ensuring you know the true value of your Atelier Mizuni piece.
