Our Story

A daughter, her dad, and a very soft dog.

Haani started in a living room. Anita had been sketching hat ideas for years - things she wanted to wear but couldn't find. Soft, simple, not made from anything that used to be on an animal, and not made in ways that hurt the planet.

Mugsy, the Haani mascot

Mugsy, Head of Quality

Stuffed. Beloved. Honest.

Her dad Hemant kept asking the hard questions. "But is it really vegan? What's in the dye? Who's knitting it?" So they worked through them one by one, and the answers became the brand.

Mugsy, Anita's childhood plush pup, ended up as the unofficial third co-founder. Every prototype gets the Mugsy test: if he looks comfy on it, it ships.

What we believe

We're starting with hats because hats are honest. They either fit, or they don't. They're either soft, or they're not. There's no hiding. After hats? Whatever you tell us you need next. Tees, socks, scarves - we're listening.

Help us hit 100.

Our first 100 buyers shape what we make next - and get a hand-signed Mugsy thank-you card.
