Our story begins in Scotland, where founder Aiko Stevenson's great-grandfather, Herbert Stevenson, ran a woollen mill near Edinburgh, weaving the tweeds that made Scottish textiles famous around the world. His son, Drummond, expanded the business, selling Macnab tweeds across Europe and the United States.
Forty years ago, Aiko's father Peter Stevenson carried that heritage to Hong Kong, forming lasting partnerships with cashmere herders in Inner Mongolia — where bitter winters produce the world's softest fibres.
Today, Aiko designs from Hong Kong with the same artisan families her father came to know — bringing four generations of Scottish textile knowledge into modern children's knitwear.
MIKA & MILO is named after Aiko's two children, Mika and Milo — and created for real childhood.
We began as a pure cashmere label, but soon realised that beautiful knitwear also needed to survive paint, puddles, climbing frames, and the washing machine.
So we developed something better: a signature blend of 95% organic cotton and 5% cashmere that is soft, non-itch, machine-washable, and built to last. The organic cotton comes from a GOTS-certified mill; the cashmere from the same Inner Mongolian families Peter began working with four decades ago.
Today, MIKA & MILO is a six-time Junior Design Award winner, featured in British Vogue and Vanity Fair.
We believe children's knitwear should be worn often, washed easily, and loved for longer.
Each piece is designed to soften with age and outlast the child who wears it first — ready to be passed from sibling to sibling, and kept for years to come.
To back that promise, we launched our Mended for Life programme: every MIKA & MILO piece is repairable for life, free of charge, forever, by the same artisans who knit it. No receipts required.
That isn't a marketing line. It's simply how we believe things should be made.
Made for today. Kept for tomorrow.
Early access to new pieces, and the occasional note on craft, materials, and slow making.
