About Us
about us
Handbags should be more than status symbols and more than a functional accessory, they are powerful mediums of self-expression. For decades, handbags have gone silent & sterile, stripped off of any meaningful self-expression. Miri exists to change that.
We create bags rooted in Indian heritage, alive with craft and expression, made for the modern aesthetes who carry their identity with pride. Our USP is our design language that's neither minimal nor maximal but uniquely Indian, bringing out a beautiful, culture rich handbag that balances soul & sophistication.
"Growing up in India, beauty was never subtle in the way the modern world seems to define it. It was expressive, ornamental, layered with meaning and impossible to separate from everyday life. Somewhere along the way, we began distancing ourselves from that identity. What once existed naturally around us started feeling ‘too much’, while borrowed aesthetics slowly became our idea of sophistication. Miri was born from a desire to question that shift and reimagine what Indian aesthetics could look like today, had they evolved uninterrupted and unapologetically on their own terms."
"I have always been drawn to objects that feel artistic, thoughtful and deeply human. Yet when it came to handbags, so much of the market felt repetitive and emotionless — either chasing global trends or reducing Indian design to loud stereotypes. In a country with centuries of artistic mastery, craftsmanship and visual richness, I felt our accessories deserved far more originality and cultural confidence. Miri is our attempt to bring a refreshing new perspective to a category where most handbags differ only by logos. To create pieces that feel rooted yet contemporary, artistic yet functional, and expressive enough to become a part of how women carry their identity every day."
founders
Founded by Minnie and Rinnie Dissoria, MIRI's story starts in its name. MIRI was an idea to go beyond what we knew. Growing up valuing embroidered artisans, MIRI is our chance at transcending traditional embroidery on cloth and experimenting with diverse textures to create something unique.
We may have started off as Investment Analysts and Management Consultants but then, MIRI was a choice we consciously made. To us and our bags, MIRI is the little magic we weave in our embroideries before it finds you.
our embroidery
At MIRI, embroidery is a glimpse through a child's eyes. New, maybe odd but fun! We come to play with a curious perspective on technique and texture. Woven in colours and detailed to the drop of a pin, we include the raw beauty hidden in the vast expanse of rural India and contemporise it into unique embroidery.
animal lovers
Paw parents to two adorable Dachshunds- Toffee and Moira, we take our stand against animal cruelty seriously. MIRI stems from our belief in veganism, a core narrative we just can't let go of.
From ideation to implementation, we examine multiple materials to craft a bag that allows you to shop guilt-free without sacrificing style or quality.
sustainability: a step beyond
In addition to becoming a 100% vegan brand, MIRI is a conscious step on the journey to becoming sustainable. Small steps with a chance to influence long-term change, we at MIRI make diverse attempts to be sustainable and eco-friendly.
Our sourcing process involves exploring newer, safer materials with every passing day.
