why mikou?

MIKOU lovingly combines the nicknames of founder Stefania’s daughters, Mimi and Koukie - the heart and inspiration behind the brand.

“Aime la Plage” (loves the beach) reflects the family's European roots, Italian, French, Portuguese, and English, capturing their joyful embrace of Portugal's coastal lifestyle.

MIKOU is, above all, a celebration of family, childhood joy, and the vibrant cultures woven into everyday life.
