Ethical Labour
Quality and care are always at the heart of what we do - not just for children, but for everyone involved in the process. That’s why we collaborate with trusted manufacturers in Portugal, where skilled artisans craft each piece with attention to detail and pride. We prioritise fair wages and safe working conditions, ensuring every stitch reflects the respect we have for those who bring our designs to life.
Sustainability
It would be strange if a brand that protects your children in the best way, did not "protect" the planet in the best way as well. This is why we make the purposeful choice to only use recycled Italian fabrics for our creations. By giving new life to existing materials, we avoid burdening the ecosystem with waste, without compromising on quality, comfort, or sun protection.
ocean-friendly sun protection
At MIKOU, sun safety is paramount. All our sun safe swimwear carries the UPF50+ certification, ensuring it effectively blocks 98% of harmful sun rays.
The secret lies in the tightly woven yarns of our fabrics, wrapping your little ones in a cocoon of safety. No chemicals in our swimwear, only love and dedication.
But it's not just about sun protection; wearing sun-safe swimsuit contributes to a cleaner ocean. By reducing the reliance on sun cream, we lessen pollution in the seas, fostering a healthier environment for marine life. This is particularly crucial for coral reefs, as chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate, found in some sunscreens, have been associated with coral bleaching.
