The Studio The MIANSAI studio is a reflection of the neighborhood and city that surrounds it. Years ago the space was home to a smokehouse that sat next to the historic Florida East Coast Railway, then known as the central hub of business distributed all throughout South Florida. As Miami grew, the smokehouse and railroad eventually became abandoned as businesses moved away from Downtown. Now, Midtown Miami has been transformed. It has been reborn as the 'Design District' boasting a robust art scene and a new sense of community. The revival continues as the original railway is rebuilt, bringing a new lifeline into the heart of the city. Much like its neighborhood, the MIANSAI studio embodies a sense of vintage Americana with a timeless vision, which is reflected in the brand's collections.
