The Story
Hoi! I'm Thimo Wilts, the founder of Tulip & Co. Growing up in the Netherlands, I was surrounded by the timeless, minimalist charm of Dutch design — most notably, Dick Bruna's beloved Nijntje (known to the rest of the world as Miffy). When I moved to Southern California, I noticed a gap in the market. While there was a huge appreciation for cozy, aesthetic lifestyle products, finding genuine, high-quality Dutch design was incredibly difficult. Too often, fans and collectors had to settle for cheap counterfeits or pay astronomical international shipping fees. That is why I started Tulip & Co.
"A piece of authentic Dutch heritage, delivered to your neighborhood."
