Purpose
1MII is a heartfelt initiative founded by Ranjit Ghosh with a clear mission, to empower underprivileged women artisans across India by enabling them to earn a dignified livelihood from the comfort of their homes. Specializing in handcrafted crochet products made from 100% cotton or wool, 1MII brings together traditional craftsmanship and thoughtful design under one brand umbrella. The brand’s vision is to create a wide, inclusive product range, from toys and baby accessories to home décor, while celebrating the skill and individuality of each artisan. Starting with baby-safe toys like teddy bears and bunnies, the collection will soon expand to include dolls, animals, and educational items. With plans to introduce multiple SKUs each month, 1MII is on a mission to build a sustainable, artisan-led ecosystem that values slow craft, ethical production, and economic empowerment.
People
1MII is a purpose-driven initiative founded by Ranjit Ghosh to empower underprivileged women artisans across India by providing them with sustainable home-based employment. Specializing in handcrafted crochet products, these women use their skills to create toys, baby accessories, and homeware items, all made from 100% cotton and entirely safe for children. By enabling economic independence and preserving traditional craft, 1MII not only uplifts communities but also restores dignity and confidence in the lives of women who are often excluded from formal workspaces. In 2023, the brand focuses on a growing line of baby-safe toys, from teddy bears and bunnies to dolls and educational items, while planning to expand into clothing and home décor. Every handmade piece carries a story of resilience, skill, and empowerment
Planet
1MII is a sustainable brand that champions eco-conscious craftsmanship through hand-crocheted products made by underprivileged women artisans working from their homes. Using 100% natural cotton and wool yarns, every product, whether a baby-safe toy, accessory, or home décor item, is entirely biodegradable and free from harmful synthetics. By relying on traditional handwork instead of industrial machinery, 1MII significantly reduces energy consumption and carbon emissions. Each item is made in small batches, eliminating the waste and overproduction associated with fast fashion. With a focus on introducing environmentally safe toys for babies and children in 2023, including dolls, animals, and educational items, the brand is building a thoughtful and low-impact product line.
