History and philosophy of the Maileg brand

The story and philosophy driving Maileg explain the lasting enthusiasm sparked by its mice, among children as well as collectors. Diving into its roots and values sheds light on all the magic that inhabits every Maileg mouse.

Danish origins and the creator

Founded in 1999 in Denmark by Dorthe Mailil, Maileg draws its universe from Scandinavian design, childhood tenderness, and the nostalgic spirit of toys from the past. Graduated from The Danish Design School, Dorthe Mailil imagined her first collections around a soft, poetic, and authentic atmosphere.

The very first Maileg mouse was born as a delicate fabric figurine, crafted with particular attention to materials and finishing. Quickly, the brand distinguished itself with its unique style combining natural colors, refined lines, and expressions full of softness. Each Maileg mouse, rabbit, or character resembles a small artisanal work: Dorthe Mailil personally ensures this authenticity, emphasizing imagination, tenderness, and quality.

Thanks to this strong identity, Maileg has become a staple of high-end Scandinavian toys. The original Maileg mice, designed to accompany children over time, now travel around the world and continue the legacy of Danish design.

Values and commitment of Maileg

The Maileg brand is built around core values: creativity, respect, and sustainability. From the very beginning, the founder wanted to design toys that have meaning, combining the joy of play, beauty, and true responsibility towards the environment.

Maileg mouse plush toys are made from carefully selected materials, such as certified cotton or natural linen. The quality of Maileg mouse figurines is a priority, to offer safe toys, durable for everyday use, and easy to maintain.

At the same time, Maileg is committed to limiting its ecological footprint at every stage, from packaging to manufacturing processes, including transportation. This responsible approach is deeply embedded in the brand's DNA, strengthening the trust of the families who choose it.

Choosing a mouse from the Maileg brand means choosing a magical universe, but also toys designed to last, environmentally friendly, and lovingly passed down through generations.

Accessories are also available in different sizes: the “miniature size” corresponds to the largest furniture for the mouse, suitable for the miniature house, and the “mouse size” is also suitable for the Maileg castle and the mole. It is recommended to always check the dimensions and read the label (house or castle)! It can be furnished with furniture: a bed, a bathtub, a dresser, a small kitchen table. The tricycle, equipped with its shelter, accompanies the mice on their playful outings or to the Sunday market.

Matching suitcases and boxes are used to store miniature clothes and accessories, or to carry and display original Maileg mice during travels.

With these accessories, each scene becomes unique. Children reinvent the life of their mouse family according to their imagination, multiply stories, and create a collectible universe.

Members of the mouse family (mother, father, children)

The heart of the collection consists of the different members of the Maileg mouse family. Each figurine has its own personality, expressed through detailed features and suitable outfits.

The mother mouse stands out with her soft dresses or aprons, true symbols of tenderness. The father mouse, with his mini striped shirt, jeans, or sometimes his embroidered mustache, embodies family complicity and security.

The mouse children, especially the big sister and the little sister with their mischievous temperaments, are among the must-haves. We also find the big brothers, little brothers, and tender baby mice snuggled in their blankets. These characters come to life in scenes inspired by everyday life: school, travel, or festive family moments.

The Maileg universe never lacks imagination and is regularly enriched with new arrivals: triplets, grandparents, or cousins, thus offering the possibility to compose a collectible mouse family according to one's desires.
