The math behind the mission

80% of profits,
reinvested.

Monli is a handmade business, not a high-margin one. What you pay for a toy pays for the people who made it, the fiber it's made from, and the commitments we've made to the community. Our margins flex with every order. The commitment doesn't.

Where every dollar goes to work

Three places,
transparently.

01 · Makers & materials
The largest share.

Hemp rope, recycled cotton, natural dyes, and metal hardware — sourced responsibly and worked by hand. Every artisan who touches every toy earns a fair wage. The largest share of every order lives here.

02 · Platform & operations
Unavoidable, but counted.

Faire fees, shipping, taxes, packaging, warehousing, software, and the small daily costs of running a cross-border business. Unavoidable — and they add up.

03 · Reinvested into the mission
Not padding margins.

What's left is not padding margins or bonuses. It funds the factory buildout, founding-family homes, on-site daycare, the Women's Fund, the Animal Shelter Fund, and 1% for the Planet.

Beyond the business

The funds we
are building.

A company that only takes is not a company worth building. These are the commitments we make with every dollar of profit.

Ongoing

Women's Empowerment Fund

  • Growth opportunities for women workers
  • Education support for their children
  • Girls in the village who have no other path to education
“Because independence should not be a privilege.”
Ongoing

Animal Shelter Fund — China

  • Support homeless pet shelters in China
  • Help build stronger rescue organizations
  • China does not yet have the infrastructure the US has
“We make products for pets. We protect them too.”
1% + B Corp

Planet Commitment

  • 1% of profit donated to 1% for the Planet, every year
  • Working toward B Corp certification
  • Recycled cotton as a core material, not a marketing line
“We use the earth's materials. We owe it something back.”
Priority one · the factory in Wangli

Three departments.
One home.

Before anything else, we invest in the people who make Monli possible. Our makers in China are the foundation of everything — and we are building them a factory worthy of the work they do.

Department 01
Production floor

Clean, organized, and efficient. Modern semi-automated machinery alongside our skilled artisans. Where Monli products are born — and it looks the part.

Department 02
Handcraft & office area

Comfortable seating, large communal tables, music playing. Makers and office team share one warm, creative space — the kind of environment that makes people do their best work.

Department 03
Rest & family area

Lunch room, quiet zones, and on-site daycare where children learn English and more. When a mother can work without worry, everyone wins.

The numbers that matter

When the math works,
this is what it looks like.

Countries, one team
Wangli, China and Greenville, SC — connected, shared, and built together.
1%
For the Planet
Of every dollar of profit, back to the earth that makes this work possible.

This is what $1M buys when profit is treated as a tool, not a trophy.

Let's weave that
future together.
