Mon Coeur

Childhood is a time of wonder and imagination. So, when my son Miran was born in 2018, I began by wondering, why couldn’t kid’s clothing care? Why can’t we give our most precious little humans the gift of wearing clothes that are actually not harming the planet and that are good for them? I could not find any clothes that truly respected the planet while not compromising on the look and comfort for my baby. I wanted to create a brand that care for the environment, respects the people making it, and that looks and feels good while being accessible for all. Mon Coeur™ was born to imagine a world where the planet comes first, making kinder clothing for earth-loving kids. Spun from reclaimed organic cotton fiber, our soft and cozy fabrics are made with care, down to every last fiber. Imagine if the fabric for kids clothes could be reclaimed from the atelier floor of more grown-up garments. What if buttons and zippers could help to keep plastic out of the ocean? Could we close the loop on kids’ clothing? That’s wearing our heart, on your sleeve. Mon Coeur™ clothes come from a place where imagination meets ingenuity, where fun meets function. Built for a brighter future that children will not only imagine, but that will become their reality. Where their animal friends have clean air and water, free of pollution and plastic. Our clothing is made for that world. We’re dedicated to making kids clothing that lasts, so that our planet does, too.
