The beginning
Birth of Mikanto
It all begins in Madagascar, our homeland.
Driven by a deep attachment to our roots and an admiration for local craftsmanship, we — a small group of passionate Malagasy people — dreamed of a brand capable of spreading our heritage beyond borders.
From the very beginning, our ambition was clear: to bring together the best artisans in the capital, seek out the finest materials, and create pieces that proudly carry the colours of Madagascar.
Mikanto was born from this desire to offer beautiful, sustainable and authentic creations — faithful to our culture and the natural elegance of our island.
Silent ascent
First steps, first returns
After several months of creation, we launched our first pieces in France.
It was a period of discoveries, of trials… and above all of wonderful encounters.
Through each order, each message received, we saw what we suspected confirmed: our pieces touched, told a story, and found their place in the daily lives of women sensitive to authenticity.
This initial feedback — often enthusiastic — gave us the strength to continue, to refine our approach, and to believe even more in our mission.
Heading for excellence
The year of maturity
To go further, we have chosen to strengthen our know-how by collaborating with seasoned craftsmen.
Braiding techniques, choice of materials, finishing requirements...
Every step has been redesigned to take our creations to an even higher level of excellence.
It was a year of structuring and elevation, also marked by the establishment of our logistics partnership with DHL — to deliver reliably internationally.
The art of handmade
Each Mikanto piece is born from a patient gesture, passed down from generation to generation.
In a fast-paced world, we choose slowness, the kind that gives meaning and reveals the beauty of work well done.
Respect for humans
Behind every creation, there are hands, faces, stories.
We strive to maintain ethical, sustainable and deeply humane working conditions.
Understated elegance
We believe in a sober, pure, timeless aesthetic.
Pieces designed to last, far from the superfluous and fashion effects.
