Meet the Founder

Growing up between New York and France, Louise Ulukaya has always been drawn to beautiful things with a purpose.
Her years in hospitality shaped a belief that the most memorable experiences are found in the details—a philosophy she carried with her when she founded Mon Coeur in 2018 after the birth of her son.
Her idea was simple: children’s clothes should be beautiful, comfortable, and made with care—for the children who wear them and the world they’ll inherit.
Designed in New York and crafted in Portugal, Mon Coeur brings a sense of joy and ease to getting dressed. Each piece is made for childhood in all its messy, magical glory—easy enough for everyday play, special enough for life’s happiest moments.
Louise hopes every piece will be lived in, loved, and passed down. We make clothing that lasts, so the planet does too.
Imagine if the fabric for kids clothes could be reclaimed from the atelier floor of more grown-up garments. What if buttons and zippers could help to keep plastic out of the ocean? Could we close the loop on kids’ clothing?
That’s wearing our heart, on your sleeve.
