Patterns & Visual Universe
At the heart of the Mikaya bodysuit unfolds the grey parrot of Gabon , a mythical bird of the equatorial forest. In the traditions of Central Africa, it is considered a messenger of the ancestors , a guardian of speech and memory. It is said that it repeats not only what it hears, but also what it feels, transmitting the emotions of the world through its voice.
Against the white fabric, its silvery-grey plumage contrasts with the brilliance of solar yellow , a symbol of awakening and purity. The stylized flowers surrounding it are reminiscent of the tropical gardens of Libreville: hibiscus, frangipani, small golden corollas open to the light. These motifs are not mere ornaments—they embody a dialogue between nature and childhood , between ancestral heritage and a fresh perspective on the world.
The name Mikaya , inspired by Lingala, means "gift" or "grace." Each piece carries this blessing: that of a present given to the child, but also of a cultural legacy passed down with tenderness.
The pattern was designed as a textile painting , first conceived by hand, then harmonized in eco-friendly printing. The balance of colors, pearl gray, forest green and amber yellow, evokes the wisdom of the ancients, the vitality of nature and the promise of a new day.
Thus, the Mikaya bodysuit is more than just a garment: it is a fragment of Gabonese history transformed into visual poetry. A gentle way to envelop the child in symbols of light, knowledge, and freedom. At the heart of the Mikaya bodysuit unfolds the Gabonese grey parrot , a mythical bird of the equatorial forest.

Interview
To preserve the softness of the organic cotton and the vibrancy of the Mikaya pattern, gentle care is all that is needed.
Like any garment that carries love and symbolism, it deserves simple, but fair, attention.
- Washing : at 30°C maximum, inside out, with similar colors.
- Detergent : Choose a gentle detergent, without bleaching agents or chemical fabric softeners.
- Drying : Air dry, out of direct sunlight to preserve the brightness of the colors.
- Ironing : at low temperature, on the reverse side of the design.
- No dry cleaning or tumble drying, in order to preserve the natural fiber of organic cotton.
Each wash becomes a small ritual: a gesture of care for the material, but also for the history it carries.
