🌱hi, and welcome to mintandapple :-) 🍎

🍀 Our tiny company is a wife & husband partnership originally from NYC... but as of March 2023, we're now residing and designing in Utrecht, The Netherlands! We moved to live a lifestyle that better aligns with our values.

✈️ We're on a special small business / self employed / freelancer visa for American citizens called the Dutch American Friendship Treaty (DAFT). It's a visa based solely on your merit as self-sustaining business and doesn't require you to have any familial ties to The Netherlands. You can use this tool on the Dutch government website to check the eligibility requirements.

🧳 For over a decade, we travelled all over North America to bring our brand of cute apparel and accessories to our fans at conventions. Now, you can find us at European cons too. We'll be hopping back and forth a lot!

🇺🇸 mintandapple.com is currently warehoused and fulfilled in New Jersey, USA by our good friends at Steady Hands. Check them out! Orders generally go out once a week on Mondays. Customer service is still handled by either Nina or Matt.

🇪🇺 mintandapple.nl is warehoused and fulfilled by yours truly in Utrecht, The Netherlands. To serve Europe, the selection is slightly different, the native currency is set to Euro, and the processing times are slower. Thank you for understanding!


🎨 Our designs are all made in-house. We're always exploring new product lines, but we're best known for our cute, high-quality apparel and creative accessories. We put genuine effort into creating original products that look beautiful, function great, and are made of comfy, long-lasting materials. We avoid polyester in lieu of cotton and wool.

🌷 We intentionally keep our business small, so that your support can go directly to the creators as much as possible. This also maintains the high quality of our products and service. We might not be able to fulfill orders or answer messages as quickly as bigger brands or corporate entities, but this is a sacrifice we're willing to make to prioritize long-term sustainability over short-term growth.

🎁 Thank you for shopping small and supporting artists!

💞, Nina & Matt
