Hello
I’m the founder of Miki Organic an online ethical boutique full of beautiful fashion, accessories and home wares. I started miki in September 2008 as a way for me to channel my two loves; style and ethics. After a fair bit of procrastination I have finally got round to starting a blog. I want this blog to be a collection of what I love and a way of documenting my journey rather than just a list of new products and special offers (there will be those too of course). This blog will be a space for me to share things I find online that I’m crazy about whether that be inspirational interior design images, other businesses and Etsy shops or amazing photographers and photographs.
A little bit about me.
My background is more environment than retail; I studied Environmental Biology at university and had aspirations to become a conservationist. After university I stumbled across a job as a business manager and I did this for almost 2 years. The business, Greener Living, sold a variety of eco-friendly products which really excited the environmentalist in me. I loved being around people who were environmentally minded but mostly I loved sourcing new products and seeing peoples reaction to them. For me there is no better feeling than opening a newly delivered box of goodies. When I left Greener Living I couldn’t imagine doing anything else and it seemed very natural for me to start my own business.

I feel now that miki is really coming alive – for me there seems to be a change in ethical clothing and over recent months I have come across a stunning range of designers that are creating beautiful collections that really merge sustainability and fashion. The bench mark for me is always ‘would I buy this if it wasn’t ethical?’ and to be honest in the past the answer would mostly have been no (apart from lovely Howies of course!) but that has changed now and I really look forward to creating an online space with all of these beautiful designers in one place.
Thank you for visiting my blog
