Micastricas: Organic Interactive Toys

Micastricas is the charming creation of Portuguese-born designer Micaela Damásio (“Micas”) who now operates solo from her studio in Rotterdam.

Her brand is very much a “one-woman show”: she draws, prints and assembles each design herself, imbuing them with personal warmth and imagination.

Her love for childhood, playful discovery and tactile design is evident in the products: soft organic-cotton baby bodysuits with little tails, bold-printed cosy cushions, interactive toys and posters that celebrate whimsy and joy. 

Environmental and social responsibility are equally central to Micastricas’s ethos: the brand uses sustainably sourced materials, works with ethical suppliers, and gives a portion of its net earnings to children’s organisations.
