The Next Generation

In many ways, Aiko's own foray into this field was inevitable. After originally training as a broadcast journalist with the BBC, CNN and Bloomberg and later writing about climate change for the Huffington Post she joined the family business over a decade ago.

And, when she was pregnant with Milo, she struggled to find the perfect cashmere blanket, finding then either too thin or too small. What started out as a desire to make cosy baby blankets gradually evolved into a larger kids cashmere collection named after her own two children: Mika & Milo. 

As cashmere it is naturally breathable, it is the perfect fibre for little babies as it helps them to regulate their temperatures as they move from being outside in the cold to the warmth of the indoors.

Plus, it is up to 8 times warmer than wool even though it is so much lighter. And, if cared for properly, cashmere is incredibly durable, making it the perfect hand-me-down fibre in this age of much needed sustainability.

At Mika & Milo, we strongly believe in making in buying less and choosing well.
