Founded by longtime friends and business partners Kate and Grace, MERANDI was born from a shared aesthetic sensibility and a deep appreciation for cultural nuance. Inspired by their travels, the brand draws from Japanese iki and the Nordic philosophy of calm minimalism.

Based in Bangkok, the founders bring distinct yet complementary backgrounds — Kate, a graduate in Managerial Economics from the London School of Economics, and Grace, with a foundation in communications and culinary arts. Together, they combine analytical precision with creative vision.

Through MERANDI, they create pieces that embody quiet luxury and modern restraint — simple forms designed to stand effortlessly on their own.

Beyond the core collection, the brand also extends into Project MERANDI Craft, an initiative that collaborates with local artisans across Thailand. By working with regional materials and traditional techniques, the project celebrates the beauty of Thai craftsmanship through MERANDI’s contemporary lens.

As longtime admirers of the arts, the founders also dedicate 2% of MIKI bag profits to supporting art education initiatives in Thailand.
