Our Story
Mee.mi is named after our tiny pupperonies- Meethi and Mirchi who've made us better people in life.
Based in the Himalayan foothills, Mee.Mi is an independent, Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh based fashion brand founded by Himanshi & Mahima in 2023. Mee.Mi works on collecting textile waste (both pre and post-consumer) from the local tailors and designing their upcycled new lives. These small tailors usually burn these fabrics or discard them as garbage. We buy out these fabrics, giving them some monetary motivation. Later we segregate the fabrics based on size, material, weight, and colors. The smaller unusable scraps go into filling toys, while other bits go into patching, panelling, crocheting, and embroidering to create garments and accessories that last long.
We create timeless, zero-waste clothing from repurposed antique Indian textiles that can be worn by people of all genders, all year round. Mee.Mi garments are designed to outlive transient seasonal trends. Each one-of-a-kind piece has already stood the test time.
By combining the high-impact colors and patterns of our materials with low impact production, Mee.Mi looks towards a future of fashion that is earth-friendly. We believe it's quality and attachment that make a product stay with people longer. Sustainability is not only about creating something new, it's also about being aware of the afterlife of a product we create.
Everything is made in limited-run batches and each piece made is one of a kind. 💜
