The mii workshop

From creation to production: ancient know-how restored to the heart of every piece.

From creation to production, with no intermediaries.

We chose to set up our workshop right from the brand's inception to control the entire process, from creation to production. Knowing our entire supply chain means better managing our costs so that the artisans' work is remunerated without multiple intermediaries, and it also means working with complete transparency!

Through Mii, we want to restore to its rightful place and bring to the forefront an exceptional ancestral textile know-how, including numerous hand-weaving and hand-embroidery techniques.

In December 2023, we inaugurated our new workshop.

A place of excellence and research and development.

Located in the Bardhaman district, in the Bengal region in the northeast of the country, it was designed to adapt to the region's climate. Built using vernacular techniques, it is a bioclimatic building that provides natural light and ventilation throughout the day to our teams.

Every Mii garment is made from start to finish in the workshop, from the thread to the order preparation.

We only work with natural materials: cotton, linen, silk, wool, etc. A few meters from the workshop, another space, designed as a creative studio, allows us to conduct research and development each season.

Location & weavers

We chose to set up in the countryside, as close as possible to the artisan villages and Bapan's birthplace. Our wish is to participate in the economic development of this isolated region and to develop employment there.

The workshop exceptionally combines artisanal techniques such as embroidery, block printing and screen printing with technology, cutting-edge machines for fixing prints and preparing threads for weaving.

Our weaving is still done in the villages on traditional looms; this is a choice we made to enable the surrounding villages to develop. For over 10 years, we have been working with the same families of weavers.

Natural Water Purification

We have installed a natural and innovative wastewater treatment process using plants (Cana Indica) and bacteria. Comprising 10 ponds on two levels, they filter the water before it re-enters the production circuit.

Indigo rediscovered.

We are running many pilot projects on our land; one plot, for example, is reserved for growing indigo. We have been harvesting and processing indigo there for over a year, a crop that completely disappeared from the region during colonization.

Beyond the workshop.

Alongside it, a pond and a field of mango and lychee trees, as well as an organically cultivated plot, adjoin the residence, which houses employees who wish to stay there.

In addition to this creative and ambitious project, Mii plans to open a training school to teach ancestral techniques and textile know-how to families from surrounding villages. A strong social and environmental dimension that has permeated the brand since its inception.
