BARCELONA | It was eight years ago when German designer Mimi Scholer opened her atelier boutique in Barcelona. Located very close to the ancient Santa Catarina Market (1845) her cozy boutique welcomes you to come in, as a reflection of the friendly designer herself. Mimi loves her work. She’ll welcome you personally from the corner where she has her atelier. She’ll then stop her crafty work to carefully explain the history behind each of her designs. Meanwhile, her pet Enzo, a curious and playful teckel will come to welcome you too. Enzo is such a charismatic dog that he featured a Christmas special collection of twenty brooches made by an also designer friend of Mimi.
Mimi works with semi-precious stones: agate, quartz, amethyst or amazonite, that she combines with silver, Swarovsky crystals, hand-painted elements, silk fringe or leather. The materials come from Greece, Italy or Germany. The result are exuberant pieces, colorful and very beautiful.
She is currently producing a new collection of pieces, big gemstones mounted in silver or metal. Organic and expressive yet sober and elegant at the same time. They show an evolution from the former collections, always feminine and very wearable.
Mimi’s creative process is continuous, she is an artist and her collections flow permanently. Almost every week she works in brand new items.
The variety of her designs are suitable for women of any age.
Creative and entrepreneurial Mimi arrived to Barcelona 10 years ago. She has an academic background in Germany (silversmith’s studies) and Vienna (design and silver crafts). She had lived and worked in Buenos Aires (Argentina). In Germany she worked for the accessories line Escada Sport. Her deep passion was bijouterie design, which it is now her profession.
