Hi!
Thank you for your interest in mi+moe.
I'm Helene, founder of mi+moe. The name is after my mother who taught me to sew. I remember fondly my mum with the sewing machine, late nights, listening to jazz on the radio..making clothes for me and my sisters, or something for herself. She has 8 grandkids, whereas none of them is named after her, so her nickname from her siblings; Mi, maden name, Moe. mi+moe. So, here you go, mum!

My family and l have been traveling the world the last 6 years, and after much thought, decided to leave beautiful Vancouver for rainy Bergen. Home. The desire to make beeswax products came after a long search for a way to preserve food that didn't include plastic.

We Norwegians loves our brought, food: matpakke. We take it everywhere, starting early. Nursery, kindergarten, school, work, hikes, travels...The matpakke was initially a government founded initiative in the early 30-ies, making sure that all school-kids got lunch provided in school.

So, after trying to find the best alternative for my kids, the beeswax lunch-bag was made. Its easy to use (just close it with the warmth of your hands), it is 100% biodegradable, meaning no toxic products going into your food or our planet. It keeps you sandwiches (or bread, cheese, or that half avocado) fresh, and it takes up hardly any space after you've eaten your lunch. (In most Norwegians cases, simple pieces of bread (skive) with goats-cheese, jam or sardines..).

The style of the bags are simple. If you have many lunches to make, or just because you want to make sure no one else grabs yours, you can have your bag custom made with your name.

We have different bags for different uses, but they are all made the exact same way. Sewn, printed, waxed, packed. All by us. With love and excitement for every single bag.
For your 'matpakke', cheese and bread.

Have a wonderful day!
Tusen takk for interessen!

Love,
Helene
