History

Established in 2010.

In Hindi, the word mirasa means heritage. Taking its cue from the heritage of textile designer and mirasa founder Aashumi Shah, mirasa products incorporate the colors of the Indian landscape and traditional kantha and ari style embroidery.

mirasa design was incorporated in 2009 and launched online by Aashumi Shah in 2010. Aashumi is an experienced textile designer who formerly designed quilts and linens for the home. When her niece, Atia, turned one, she made some soft toys with tactile elements to stimulate Atia’s sense of imagination and play. The toys were bundled into a cloth bag that Atia could easily carry around with her. Watching her play with these toys inspired Aashumi to produce mirasa design’s My Fun line for infants and toddlers.
