Their story started in Camille’s little homemade workshop in her parents’ house. After studying in design, she started creating custom swimsuits for her friends and family, without realizing that swimsuits were really popular among her entourage. Shortly after, during a fashion show, she met Joao. Both decided to combine their expertise and create their first label “Mimi Hammer Swimwear”.

By the end of summer 2015, they created their second label “August”. With this label, they wanted to create well-designed products for an everyday lifestyle. That’s why Mimi & August is the union between our two brands that shares the same values. Illustrations is at the core of the Montreal based company. We make every product unique and personalized, whether it is for swimsuits, clothes or accessories.
