About Mimi
My name is Mimi Kim Reid. I live in Sonoma County, where I personally design and sew each item in my home studio. My goal is to provide products that are durable and practical, as well as beautiful.
I have been making bags and accessories out of fabric for three years and recently started making a line of items from cork fabric. It is actual cork, adhered onto a thin fabric backing. The response has been tremendous. Cork fabric has a similar feel to leather--but it's far more eco-friendly, as well as stain- and water-resistant.
About Sheekoo
Sheekoo is a Korean word, loosely translated as "family". Or, as my mother more aptly defines it, "this group right here," as she gestures to those around the dining room table.
So, Sheekoo means those with whom you break bread--a generous, inclusive word befitting a business that has come to life with the support of many of my friends and family members.
