BEHIND OUR BRANDS
Getting to know Margot Visser from Minimonkey
It’s hard to not fall in love with the Minimonkey range.
Their innovative range is both clever and practical, working to simplify family life with their unique products that look and feel amazing.
We can’t get enough of their beautiful Dutch designs which come in a collection of vibrant colours
to add a splash of fun around the home. We adore them so much that we’re proud to be their official distributor for Italy!
So with great pleasure we are happy to introduce you to the brains behind the brand, the wonderful Margot Visser!
Hi Margot! Thank you so much for agreeing to speak with us.
We'd love to start off by finding out what your inspiration was for starting Minimonkey?
I guess (like so many baby brand owners!) it all started when I became a mother myself.
Having children made me realise that the life of young parents could be made so much easier
if the right products were available in the market. So I decided to do just that!
And we’re SO glad you did! Can you describe Minimonkey in 3 words?
Easy! Fashionable, authentic and creative.
We couldn’t agree more! So what would you say is unique about your range?
We pride ourselves on the unique qualities of our products: the whole collection is innovative,
compact and works to create an easy going and enjoyable life for both parent and child.
We think they do that job superbly. Now your family; how would you sum them up?
We’re such a close family! There’s Marnix (my husband), Bébel (my 10 year old daughter),
Kiki (my 9 year old daughter) and, or course, not forgetting our lovely dog Binky!
Lovely! And where is your favourite place in Amsterdam to go with the family?
Oh there are so many places to choose from! Amsterdam is great for really cool places.
We particularly love to explore the city by bike, discovering something new with every journey…
That sounds perfect - we love exploring Florence by bike too! We’re intrigued to know your favourite ever family holiday too?
That would have to be traveling with a camper van around beautiful Europe… including fabulous Italy!
Well, we might be a little biased but we’re also big fans of holidays in Italy ;)
Are you able to pinpoint what it is that gives you the greatest job satisfaction with Minimonkey?
Simply knowing that I am creating an innovative product for parents in need… and when I get feedback from happy customers, it really is fantastic!
Knowing you are pleasing your customers is a great feeling, isn’t it?
And finally, can you give us a clue about future plans for the company?
We will continue to create more and more innovative products, constantly trying to increase the mobility of busy parents!
Thank you so much for speaking to us Margot - it’s been such a pleasure getting to know you and the company a little more! Check out our full Minimonkey range here.
