Hi!

So glad you're here!

We are Minal & Lakshya, a couple, living in Toronto, Canada... and this is our baby project:

MILI & MAXIE,

named after our childhood nicknames.

​

About 2 years ago, we got on our search for a luxury vegan handbag, only to find PU leather bags everywhere we looked. Since we've always been passionate about protecting the environment, we know PU leather should not be the only option out there because of plastic's environmental impact on our planet. So we decided to make our own! We started looking for materials that reduce this impact while being extremely durable and good quality. That's when we found DESSERTO® which is made from cactuses, is super strong, long lasting and feels like butter!

​

After careful research and planning we started our manufacturing in India, our place of birth, known for its rich culture in art and creativity. We take pride in working with experienced Kaarigars (artisans) who work in small batches to carefully handcraft each handbag.

​

This brand is our small attempt to create sustainable fashion a reality. As we try to improve and get better everyday, your support and feedback means the world to us!
