Personally, I have always been drawn to manual work and various artistic disciplines (photography, drawing, music, sewing...) and I discovered a passion for painting.

When my friends and family suggested I exhibit my canvases, my first reaction was to laugh.
“Me, in a gallery? I didn’t go to art school, I don’t have a market value...“. 
I felt completely like an imposter.

The idea for Mirette then began to take root in me: to offer a space accessible to as many people as possible, highlighting a multitude of still-unknown artists who don't dare knock on gallery doors. And at the same time, to allow artists to reach a clientele that itself doesn't dare to frequent these places.

From there, my thinking expanded:
Too many artisans with precious expertise do not have the time, the skills, or the desire to manage a website, promotional campaigns, a social media account... They therefore remain too little known and struggle to make a living from their work.

Yet, the desire of buyers is increasingly trending towards human connection, handmade goods, ethical consumption... The desire to feel good at home with decor that has meaning.

The idea for Mirette was born:
to bring together ethical art and decor items that showcase the work of artists and artisans, for every room in the house, on a single platform.
