Mimi the Sardine is a small family-owned and woman-run company located just north of San Francisco. Their earth-friendly products use fabrics manufactured in Sweden or Estonia in mills that are certified, requiring the ecological impact of production to be rigorously monitored and working conditions to be regulated. Its products contain acrylic coated cotton fabric that meets Oeko-Tex Standard 100. This standard is essentially a declaration to the consumer that the cloth does not contain residual chemicals and components harmful to their health. Additionally, the company uses recyclable and minimal packaging to further reduce throwaway waste.
