Our Story
Shop Merci Milo was founded in 2015 from inspiration of our daughter Milo. One day as we toured Paris, we stumbled upon several unique traditional toy shops; intrigued and ever so inspired by the whimsical vintage and old heirloom handmade toys; we decided we wanted to start our own toy shop and share this with other families in the US.
Merci Milo was formed in the mountains to help showcase handmade unique toys and accessories for children from local artisans, traditional toy makers, creative mamas, and global brands. We are a small family owned business that strives to only source the highest quality toys and ethically made goods for children from all over the globe. Our goal is to support local artists and small businesses to help them grow and succeed. In buying our products we hope to continue our vision and grow our dream. We hope to bring forth beauty and fun daily to families and children. We want to thank Milo for being our biggest inspiration. Merci Milo!
From online only to now having our own brick and mortar in Highland Park Los Angeles as well as Portland Oregon! We are so grateful we are able to have a beautiful shop so you can shop in person now! Come visit us!
We run things a little differently than most shops. Our thoughtful curation has a limited run, limited time spent in our shop. We want each item curated to feel special, unique, and one of a kind. They may return they may not. We love the surprise and whimsy moments of each item that comes through our doors.
