The name ‘Miki’ was born on a trip to Cuba, my father’s birthplace. As my partner and I waded in the pool one day, my father’s childhood friends told me and my partner that we were so “Miki.”

A subgroup of “cool kids” in Havana, Mikis are some of the first generation since the revolution with regular access to the internet. The name originates from “Mickey”, as in Mickey Mouse, a nod to the Mikis infatuation with iconic culture.

Inspired by Los Mikis of Havana, Miki was born. Like our namesake, we are driven by the digital world, global culture, and the emergence of brands in our collective consciousness.
