Despite their different geographies, cultures, and backgrounds, a shared vision brought them together, one that took root during a trip to India in 2009, where they met artisans facing economic hardship and the threat of displacement. Believing in the value of handmade, local production, they decided to act.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMii, short for Made in India, exists to defend and promote ancestral textile skills at risk of disappearing. A decade on, a team now spans Brittany, Paris, and Bengal, united by a shared commitment to beauty, integrity, and meaningful work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFrom the outset, Lucie and Bapan built their own workshop to oversee every stage, from creation to production, eliminating intermediaries so artisans are paid fairly and the process remains transparent. In December 2023, they opened a new workshop in the Bardhaman district of Bengal, near Bapan's birthplace. Built using vernacular, bioclimatic techniques, it offers natural light and ventilation, and combines hand embroidery, block printing, and screen printing with modern machinery. Weaving remains rooted in the surrounding villages, on traditional looms, with the same families of weavers for over ten years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe site also includes a natural wastewater purification system using plants and bacteria, an organic plot, and an indigo field reviving a crop lost to the region since colonial times. Garments are made entirely on site, using only natural materials such as cotton, linen, silk, and wool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMii plans to open a training school to pass these skills on to local families, reflecting the social and environmental purpose at the heart of the brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/miicollection.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWebsite\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ekadesignstudio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/miicollection_official\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eInstagram\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Selvedge Magazine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48873999270123,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1395\/5787\/files\/91_SHIRTGRETA_ROYALBLUE_LAVANDE_92_SKIRTMONA_ROYALBLUE_LAVANDE.jpg?v=1781471158","url":"https:\/\/www.selvedge.org\/products\/win-a-floral-coord-set-by-mii","provider":"Selvedge Magazine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
