I love mina perhonen ♡
"mina perhonen" boasts immense popularity among those who love Nordic design.
The mina perhonen exhibition was held at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, from 2019 to 2020, so some of you may have gone there.
mina perhonen is a brand founded by designer Akira Minagawa in 1995. The brand creates a wide range of items, including original patterns, clothing, goods, interiors, and dishware.
It’s tempting to collect the tops, skirts, dresses, socks, handkerchiefs, cushions, lamps, and chairs made from original fabrics that are challenging to mass-produce.
(The round shapes made up of dots, known as "tambourine," are particularly famous.)
There are so many wonderful clothing and fabric items that it can be overwhelming. In this article, I will introduce carefully selected mina perhonen items that would be perfect for weddings and starting new lives.
Please find your favorites with comments like, "This item is cute♡" and "I didn’t know such an item existed!"
Recommended mina perhonen items for weddings and new lives ① Dishware
First, let’s talk about dishware. mina perhonen's tableware is simple yet has a gentle texture, making it perfect for both Western and Japanese cuisine!
The "tambourine" series is the most popular, featuring a lineup that includes plates, bowls, and cups.
The colors mainly consist of soft shades like pink, gray, light blue, yellow, white, and muted gray.
The prices are reasonable for gifts, ranging from 3,850 yen for small plates to 5,500 yen for large plates.
It seems they would be well appreciated as wedding gifts too!

mina perhonen's children's dishware, “kodomo no utsuwa,” is shockingly cute. It’s made from “semi-porcelain,” which is warmer than ceramic and more durable than porcelain.
Children's dishware is often too cute with characters or made of plastic, which means they tend to be unused as the kids grow up.
However, with such adorable dishware from mina perhonen, even those without children will want to collect them♡
They would also make delightful gifts for baby showers!
