๐๐ Two Australian Good Design Awards. One very special reason behind it all ๐
It all started with Sofia!
I remember those cold Canberra walks, constantly stopping to pick up her blanket, tuck it back in and make sure it wasn't getting caught in her wheelchair.
I kept thinking, surely there has to be a better way.
There wasn't. So I decided to create one.
Fast forward to Friday night, and there we were, with Sofia and our family, celebrating TWO 2026 Australian Good Design Awards! โจ
๐ Product Design โ Sport & Lifestyle
๐ Fashion & Textiles
But what makes me proudest isn't the awards themselves.
It's knowing that something I created for Sofia is now helping other wheelchair users stay warm, comfortable and covered, while making outings that little bit easier.
Less time fixing slipping blankets. More time enjoying the moments that matter.ย
To every person and family who has trusted us, shared their experiences, recommended Mimi Blankets or supported our little business โ Thank you.
You helped turn one mum's solution into something so much bigger.
With love,
Monika & Sofia ๐ท
