Our Story

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!

Testimonials

AYANO IZUMI

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!

SHRUTI PATEL

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.

MRUDU NATH

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.

We are a group of earth-friendly explorers who play different parts. We are as age-less as the stories we want to tell: the children who inspire us with boundless creativity, the ecologists who provide scientific research, the designers who reinterpret them as storytellers and skilled artisans who handcraft these tales with traditional wisdom. The stories and crafts finally come back to our little friends who include them in worlds of their own making. Scattered across geographies and languages, MuuYees come together for the love of discovering, creating and reinventing for a happy planet.
