mimpikita
February 6, 2010I take clothes, shoes, accessories etc seriously, so I would never lie to you guys just for advertisement purposes. There are many brands and styles that I like, but nothing has really hit home until I found Mimpikita. Having the meaning “Our Dream” in English, Mimpikita is a company formed by 3 sisters.
I was invited to watch their photoshoot today, so I went. And as usual, bagged some clothes home too.
Nurul, the owner, and her photographer HAHA
It all started by reading this blog. The owner emailed me about something, and at the end she introduced me to her own line. I clicked on the website, and that was it. I was hooked.
Their creations are what I truly love and I would say that they are so so so talented. Feminine, elegance, class; they have pictures of Audrey Hepburn around their shop, so I’m guessing their ideas are inspired by her.
What’s interesting is that they don’t forget their roots. A lot of their clothes have that Malay sweetness about them, and touches of traditional-ness (whatever, I’m creating my own word here!). They are especially good in traditional-wear and modernising them to suit our current times.
I feel good buying their clothes because these ladies are so so nice and so down-to-earth. We click so well that now, my sister and I have become good friends with them. We’re even working together now, because they also own a family architecture firm. Construction and architecture – vital relationship. And I can’t believe it all started by an email.
I could go on and on but I’ll let their clothes speak for themselves.
Some of the many Mimpikita items I have:
Let’s pretend I’ve ironed them nicely. And that I’m wearing an appropriate top underneath.
This top below was a design by me, with Nurul’s help. Kinda like Proudduck for Mimpikita line. HAHAHAHA
Also a dress designed by me (of course, with Nurul’s help!)
There’s a detachable waist ribbon as well
They also sell accessories and other things in their shop, so it’s best that you pay them a visit to see for yourself.
Mimpikita is at 21, Jalan Telawi, Bangsar 59100 Kuala Lumpur.
Opening hours are Mon-Sat 11 am – 8 pm, Sun 11 am – 2 pm.
You can contact them at+6 012 931 8059 or the Mimpikita Fb page.

wow, once you endorse a brand, PD, they better be ready for a lot of orders! you should defanately do a line for them!! that’s so interesting to see. PD creativity!
Hi pd
i have the same question as aNn.
what’s the price range? π
hi PD, i always have this problem of wearing a ‘kebaya-type’ top where it just doesn’t flow right. i have to admit i am a little chubby around the waist and arms and legs, so these bulges just dont make me look good in anything. my colleague said wearing kebayas will help me look better, instead i feel i look worse. its bad enough my breasts dont match the size of my tummy, but i stuff them when i really wanna look good.
can you tell me what would be a good type of dressing for me please?
The price range frm 50 n above..dpnds on the material used:))
Just wanted to ask if you still have the beige top (above PD’s pink one) and the turqoise v-neck? Are both chiffon?
And I’m wondering how much does the long flowy blue dress cost.
Oh,and my sister wants order the blue jeweled shoulder pad : )
Thanks girls!
everyone wants the blue top that PD has. all such copycats.
how much is the maxi long sleeve dress (6th pic i think) in pink and purple. the one with 2 mannequins. i really like that one.

-beige chiffon silk top with beadings around neckline:rm250
-turqoise v neck(shantung silk)-rm250
-the midnight blue long flowy dress(satin silk strechable)-rm800

Their clothes are so YOU! =) I love how decent and modest they are too (V, only you know why I want decent and modest baju now haha). I should check out this place sometime before I leave..
Hey Vivy, since you’re very close to the Mimpikita owners, can you please please ask them to produce the pink top ure wearing, and the picture above the pink top as well and the blue cardigan youre wearing to Fashion Valet. Pretty please please. I believe theyre something worth to invest in. Cant find it nomore at mimpikita the tops π
