Kokoro was born in Montreal in 2018 by serial entrepreneurs Cindy Cheung and Taky Fung. The name “Kokoro” comes from the Japanese word for “heart” – the feeling, not the organ. This moniker is especially meaningful to the two co-founders; Cindy’s daughter was born with a rare congenital heart disease and Taky has recently had a quadruple bypass surgery.

Realizing how fortunate they were coming out of these ordeals, the two decided to transform life-threatening situations into life-changing opportunities for infants in need. They launched Kokoro with the explicit mission of giving back to an issue close to their hearts, while creating timelessly stylish, premium quality baby accessories.

Kokoro supports a charity close to our hearts: the Montreal Children’s Hospital’s Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). We are driven both by this purpose to do better and also to create high-end baby accessories that are better. Not only does every item have a beautiful design and is made with cozy premium materials, but Mom and Dad can take comfort knowing their little one’s new item will make a big difference in other families’ lives

Our value is in our values. Yes, the baby accessories you will receive will have a beautiful design and be made with premium materials, but it’s not about the fabric object. It’s the feeling you get knowing you have helped someone else, one human being to the other.
