MINICAMP Story

 

 

IT STARTED IN 2014

 

"My daughter is my muse"

Even before I had my first daughter, I always dreamed of creating something like a small business or an interesting hobby that I could do while on maternity leave.

Here in Lithuania, we have the wonderful opportunity to raise our newborn children at home for up to two years, so I thought I would have plenty of time.

I thought and thought about what I could do, but nothing special came to mind, until one day.

It was a big day – our first daughter’s very first birthday, so I put a lot of effort into planning it.

I invited some friends round, and as my brother had lent me an instant camera, I thought it would be a great idea to create a theme party.

That’s when the idea of a Native American Indian theme crossed my mind. I started by creating some headbands along with our first teepee...

The party went really well, and after a week, I decided to make my daughter a proper teepee – and it all took off from here: my teepees, my storage baskets, hobby horses, blankets, and everything.

 

It was a tremendous success.

Then I took the idea a step further and made a teepee for my friend's dog. The dog loved it! And that was the beginning of my pet teepee era.

I believe I was a pioneer of the pet teepee – now a popular item from many producers.

We now have MINICAMP teepees for almost all pets, from hedgehogs to rabbits, from cats to huskies. Even guinea pigs and hamsters like them!

So I say thank you, my daughter, for all this! ;)

SUSTAINABILITY: HOW DO WE DO IT?
 

As producers and retailers, our main goal is to do as little harm to our planet as possible. Because we produce new things, we have to use resources, so we're committed to doing so as sustainably as possible.

KEEP IT LOCAL
As a small family business, we produce all our products locally with the help of local artisans and seamstresses. The entire process is carried out within 200 kilometres of our office in Vilnius, from production to finishing and packing!

MATERIALS
Most of our products are designed for small children; therefore, our materials are as natural as possible. All our cotton fabrics are OEKO-TEX or GOTS certified, a polyester filling also has OEKO-TEX certification, and wooden parts are absolutely natural and free from chemical treatment. We guarantee that 90% of our materials and fabrics are of natural origin.

PACKAGING
We pack your orders in boxes made from recycled cardboard and secure most of them with eco-friendly paper sticking tape. The plastic bags we use for packing and shipping are all recyclable, recycled, or compostable! All our marketing materials, including printed instructions, cards, and stickers, are printed locally on recycled paper using soy ink.

PRODUCTION LEFTOVERS
In order to leave no (or minimal) production waste, we use every tiny scrap of fabric to make bags for packaging or give away leftover fabric to our fellow artisans. We recycle all our studio and office waste. Although there's always room for improvement, we're very proud of the sustainability steps we've taken recently, and we hope our clients appreciate them too!
