MuuYee, or ant in Konkani, stands for a philosophy of creating in a community, with care for the maker, the user and the earth.
MuuYee, or ant in Konkani, stands for a philosophy of creating in a community, with care for the maker, the user and the earth. Like ants that collect discarded food, we collect the earth’s refuse and repurpose it into something useful and delightful. As the MuuYee teaches us – you can never be too small to make a difference!
We are looking back in time to borrow from slow & sustainable ways of creating. Thus like the good old days, we have adopted practices like hand dyeing with organic ingredients, using only natural fiber, preserving indigenous handicrafts and retelling stories that are slowly fading.
MuuYee seeks inspiration in the natural world and its innumerable forms and colours. We turn to native stories and folklore for timeless wisdom. And when we exhaust our imaginations, we turn to children who not only make for a fascinating audience but also inspire us by constantly reinventing the world around them. We celebrate their freedom, playfulness and creativity. Likewise, Muuyee playmates and garments are unrestricted by gender or age, for anyone with a wild imagination!
We invite you to explore this world that lies at the intersection of story, craft, play and design, and discover your own path through its leaves, pods, flowers and tails!
Beautiful combinations of natural colours and soothing texture. My daughter in the Muuyee dress was lightly jumping and running, like a butterfly and melted in nature. She did not even want to take it off!
Muuyee clothes are a beautiful amalgamation of conscious clothing and soft comfort. Children like the ease of wear and the whimsical motifs. This shirt and the trouser made my son feel both. Surely makes both mum and son happy.
This batik kurta has a very special smart cut to it. Sanvi looked so cute in it. The feel of the fabric against the skin is something really nice. I knew she was at ease and completely comfortable. She could run and jump around freely in it.
Shweta created MuuYee with a vision to give everyday life a sustainable makeover. As a textile & toy designer she discovered the lasting joy of making wiser choices by using earth-friendly material and colours and propagates the same through her brand. She has chosen the children of the world as her ambassadors as their sensitivity & playfulness resonate her own spirit.
With the support of her family & friends, Shweta started building the brand in 2017 from her years of travelling & handpicking like-minded artisans and organisations.
