MCM

The iconic Visetos monogram from the Munich-based brand MCM needs no introduction. This Autumn, the German brand brings us bags, purses and wallets in the fabric but adds a few new pieces to the mix. The most surprising is the leopard print range that includes some of the brand’s most coveted pieces. But that’s not all, the music-loving brand also brings us the Cassette line, a fun range in the shape of vinyl records and cassettes that will ensure a unique style. Are you up for it?

Founded in 1976 in Munich, the MCM brand developed with the cultural revival of the 1970s when the German city was seen as the headquarters of global jet set. Famous for its leather trunks since the 1980s, the label whose name meant Michael Cromer München (before being renamed Modern Creation München when it was taken over by the Sunjoo Group in 2005) was initially intended for travelers but quickly extended its activities to luxury handbags, hats, key rings, shoes and even some clothing. Its strengths? A tradition of quality and prestige, based on craftsmanship and codes that are easy to recognize: a monogrammed canvas and a laurel-decorated clasp.

MCM draws its inspiration from historical figures in fashion and technology as well as from contemporary and globalized lifestyles. The city has always been the foundation of the brand’s rebellious and innovative inspiration. Under the leadership of its President Sung-Joo Kim, owner of the Sunjoo Group who possesses the label since 2005, the brand is more than ever at the heart of fashion.
