Mimi was founded in 2001 by London based designer and Central Saint Martins graduate Mimi Berry. Each season Mimi launches a new collection for both men and women, which includes everything from sleek weekend bags, sturdy satchels and gorgeous clutch bags, to a diverse selection of ladies leather purses. The range uses beautiful, traditional colors, including scarlet reds, yellows, rich browns and bright metallics, and each piece is made of Italian leather.

For Fall 2010 the range includes the “Classic Little Peggy” bag (above), a small hard leather satchel with one outside pocket and a long adjustable leather strap, similar to those classic styles being shown by major designers such as Celine. The “Classic Slouchy Evelyn” bag is another RDuJour favorite as well as the “Classic Johnny” bag, which is currently being offered as a sale item!
