story behind the brand

màumáu design studio is a sister-run art studio based in Michigan, making colorful original artwork rooted in Vietnamese-American identity and a deep love of childhood wonder. The name holds two Vietnamese words at once: màu, meaning color, and máu, meaning blood. They want to implement color into people's livelihoods where the retro palette exists: the electric greens and oranges on childhood snack bags or the glow of an old game cartridge. That specific, oversaturated joy of growing up in the 90s with their single mother. The Vietnamese word for "blood" refers to the phrase "blood, sweat, and tears" - a tribute to the their refugee roots and learning as first-gen. Any scenario can be a learning opportunity as long as one is willing to take in criticism and put in the effort.
