Mimos opened on December 8, 2015, as a handicraft shop with a strong family influence and completely customized works.

Located on Faial Island, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, it has made the famous sperm whales, Cachalote in Portuguese, its premium product, transforming these large mammals into authentic pieces of decoration, adding the most diverse patterns, textures and colors, making one of the symbols of the region an authentic art.

Both for locals and tourists who want a souvenir of the Azores. In the store, you will also find an selection of diversified items, from textiles, ceramics, basketry, t-shirts and many more, while you can enjoy and taste one of the delicious liqueurs, a beer or a simple coffee.

Viviana Val, the face behind Mimos, always had in her plans to open a business in which she could express all her creativity and taste for crafts, contributing the great family influence, in which her mother and 2 sisters are a fundamental help in success.
