Our Story - Mimi & August | Reusable Soy Candles & Home Goods, Montreal

"The art of living and wellness"

At Mimi & August, the art of living and wellness isn't just a tagline. It's the heart of everything we do. We believe a home should feel serene, cozy and filled with pieces that make everyday moments special.

A journey from studio to home

Our story began in a tiny Montreal studio, where Camille Forcherio's love of design and illustration blossomed. When she met Joao, the two combined their talents and values to create Mimi & August. A lifestyle brand rooted in thoughtful design and sustainable materials. What started as a small creative venture has evolved into a refined home brand focused on curated products as reusable soy candles, handmade ceramics, illustrated stationery, and greeting cards, all designed and crafted in our South Shore of Montreal workshop.

Illustration at our core

Illustrations has always been part of the world of Mimi & August. Camille is the creative force behind every design: she sketches each motif, chooses every colour and imagines every detail. From the artwork on our packaging to the very shape and form of our candle jars and pottery, every piece is envisioned and designed by Camille herself. Her hands guide everything, from the vessel's silhouette to the patterns and finishes. So our candles, ceramics and home decor accessories are truly unique to us. This artful attention makes every Mimi & August piece feel both playful and elegant.

Curated products for cozy living

We create goods that embody three ideas: cozy living, thoughtful design, and pieces that last. Each soy candle and wax melt is hand-poured in our South Shore of Montreal workshop from biodegradable soy wax and non-toxic fragrances. Our reusable ceramic cups are designed to outlast the candle itself. Clean them out and repurpose them, or pop in a candle refill and keep going. Ceramics, art prints, stationery, and greeting cards are designed locally and crafted in small batches using clean ingredients and sustainable materials, so every item feels gentle on you and the planet.

Fragrances that elevate your senses

Every scent we release begins with research and careful selection. We work with perfumers to develop high‑end, toxin‑free fragrances that fill your home with sophisticated notes, whether in our candles, room sprays, scented oils, or wax melts without overpowering it. From fig and amber to cedar and lilac, our blends are thoughtfully composed to create memorable experiences across all our ambient products. By choosing premium ingredients free from harmful substances and testing each blend rigorously, we ensure that our fragrances are not only safe but quickly become beloved best‑sellers.
