MiA MiN STORY & INSPIRATION
Excited for Fashion Week, Min hopped into a taxi at Milan airport. When the driver asked her for the hotel address, she rummaged around for her smartphone where it was stored. Suddenly, she noticed that her smartphone was missing and a disaster unfolded. She realised that she had probably left it at the gate back in Munich. At the hotel reception, Min was also told that her room was already occupied due to a booking error. Lost in a strange city without her smartphone during the most turbulent week of the year, Min now had to look for another hotel. Exhausted from a chaotic day in a state of flurry, Min came up with an ingenious idea during the taxi ride to her new hotel: a functional yet luxurious bag to stop her smartphone from getting lost, which she would love to carry around herself and lovingly incorporate into her bag collection. Min frantically scribbled on her notepad during the taxi ride and came up with the first drafts. She was determined to get the ball rolling on this project as soon as possible. Weeks later at Lake Maggiore, Min's third home and a place where she draws creativity, the name of the label MiA MiN Milano was born, given to Min by her loving husband. Joie de vivre, passion for colours and patterns and the combination of avant-garde and classic style elements are what make MiA MiN Milano so elegant and exclusive.
