Mignonette is dedicated to making beautiful clothing that combines girly elements with modern shapes. We like to unite patterns and fabrics in unobvious combinations, or reclaim a piece of fabric in a completely unexpected way. We try to use reclaimed and recycled fabric or trims in every piece, and when possible, we are working towards only using fabrics dyed with soy-based inks or made in other sustainable ways so we can minimize our impact on the Earth and maximize the feel-good factor of wearing our clothes.

We always listen to the fabric before deciding what to turn it into and every piece is lovingly handmade using high-end sewing techniques and tricks learned from our backgrounds in tailoring, fine arts, and architecture.

Mignonette means cute girl in French, and we want people to feel cute and confident in our designs.In a world of homogenized fashion we want the clothes we make to have unique personalities. All of our clothing is designed around the idea that women can be approachable and ass-kicking and gorgeous and interesting at the same time; utilizing all these elements is an integral part of the way each piece is designed.

We make sizes from 0 to 16 because we want to share and build community with as many people as possible, and because everyone deserves to look and feel amazing. Mignonette is a socially-conscious business and we try to only support ethical business practices; Everything with the Mignonette label on it is made in Brooklyn by us or our friends.
