Morii

We Are Legacy has collaborated with Morii to bring visibility to a way of making where textiles are constructed through many individual contributions, making these layered stories accessible through our Digital Identity Tags, attached directly to the piece.

Morii’s process is built on co-creation. Artisans develop individual fragments that are later assembled into a larger textile, each shaped through the maker’s own judgement of stitch, form, and composition. By connecting each piece to its makers, techniques, and material journey, this collaboration reveals a system where authorship is shared and every contribution remains present within the final work.

“We see craft as a form of expression. Artisans are not just executing instructions, they shape the work with us. Their judgement influences form, scale, and rhythm. We also bring different crafts into conversation, allowing them to meet through process and carry layered histories forward.” says Brinda Dudhat, CoFounder, Morii.

A Nomadic Dream emerges from a memory of movement, when life followed water, grazing lands, and an instinctive rhythm of when to stay and when to move.

Though these patterns have shifted, the impulse to move remains, now turning inward. Stitches gather and disperse, forms appear and fade, echoing journeys once taken across terrain. What was once lived physically now unfolds within the textile, where fragments of memory continue to move across the surface.

In Nomadic Dream, small patches come together like settlements, reflecting the Rabari way of life, historically shaped by movement across grazing lands and water routes. As nomadic journeys gave way to settled lives, this memory of gathering and dispersing remains embedded in the work.

Artisans begin by working on small fragments, a scale aligned with their natural rhythm. These pieces are later assembled into a larger surface, forming a composition built from many individual contributions. Layers of embroidery are added, binding the fragments into a cohesive whole.

Each element retains its own identity while contributing to a collective landscape shaped by many hands.

Morii is a textile studio founded by Brinda, working in collaboration with artisans across India to create one of a kind pieces rooted in craft, authorship, and material understanding.

The practice began through close engagement with Sujani artisans in Bihar, where Brinda Dudhat developed a deep respect for the knowledge embedded in traditional craft. Together with Kabir, her cofounder, Morii was established as a space where artisans are long term collaborators and where making is shaped through shared process rather than fixed outcomes.

At Morii, ethics and sustainability are inherent to the way work is made.

Each piece is created individually, without standardisation. Variations in stitch, form, and surface are not corrected, but preserved as expressions of the maker, ensuring that every work remains unique.

Material use is intentional and considered. Fabrics are primarily handwoven and natural, and all materials are used with care. Leftover fragments are not discarded but reintroduced into new works, extending the life of the material.

Production remains decentralised, with artisans working from their homes within their own communities. This allows knowledge to remain rooted in place, supporting continuity of craft across generations.

We Are Legacy, founded in Stockholm in 2024, is a digital platform that is redefining how handmade products are understood- using verified digital tags that connect products to makers, materials, and stories. Through a simple tap or scan, each product reveals key information about its origin, production context, and the people behind it.

This is not about digitising craft.

It is about ensuring its legacy - by restoring value to the people whose hands create it.
