Mara Pena, from Ourense, is the owner of the childcare store Damemimo, located on Havana Avenue in the city. The business opened its doors in 2008. This is a family business. In this place we had a decoration store but we decided to make a change and fully enter the children’s market, he recalls. They started selling clothes and accessories for babies but the thing grew towards the care and upbringing sector. They have bodysuits, rompers, bibs… and also carts, hammocks or bathtubs.
Damemimo’s strong point is the sale of products related to the safety of children in the car. We give dads adequate advice so that they can adapt safety to their car. In fact, we always install the chairs ourselves first, so that they can see in practice how it is done and how it works, explains María. But in this Ourense store they have everything a mother needs from when she becomes pregnant. We have also just incorporated a line of toys, in which everything is made of wood, says María
In this Ourense store they have experienced a change since the start of the pandemic. We have noticed that the number of visits has increased and I think it is due to this direct and personal advice. People have thrown themselves into local businesses and we are very grateful for that, he continues. María and her team’s recommendation for new parents is to go slowly. The child needs a car seat as soon as he leaves the hospital, a stroller system, a bathtub and a mini cot. The rest will be claimed and will be seen according to your demand, admits María. You don’t have to jump to buy, he adds. At Damemimo they also have a wide range of gifts that make life easier for children and their parents, from feeding sets to portable high chairs.
