Inspired by Real Friendships
Rosalie didn’t just inspire the first wardrobe—she helped shape the Mimi Maker Friends themselves. When she asked for dolls that looked like the friends in her own world, the collection began to grow. Most of the Mimi Maker Friends are named after Rosalie’s real-life friends, each one adding another personality and story to the collection.

Made for Little Hands. Inspired by Real Kids.

 This is Audrey, playing with the very first doll set I made for Rosalie’s birthday. When Audrey saw it, she asked, “Mimi, can you make Rosalie a doll set?” I told her, “That one is for Rosalie.” Without missing a beat, she replied, “Oh, make her another one. I want this one.”
That was one of the first moments I realized this little birthday project might be something more.

From One Birthday Wardrobe to a World of Friends

What began with one birthday wardrobe for Rosalie kept growing as the children around me inspired new ideas, new Friends, and new ways to play. Today, Mimi Maker Friends has grown into three unique families—Boutique Friends, Little Friends, and Adventure Friends—each with wardrobes designed especially for them.

The collection may have grown, but the heart of MMF is still the same: creating hands-on, screen-free play that gives children room to dress, imagine, create, and tell stories of their own.
