DDD MILAPINOU is an attractive French brand that reminds us of our favourite soft toy or a warm blanket made of cosy fabrics. It is a comforting symbol which links the child to his mother. It reminds us of mi, as well. The Spanish possessive pronoun, which is the mother-tongue of the designer, Dallana Bayarri. We think of us, too. That which contains us, you my dear baby, and me your mom .
