MIRUM® is crafted in Illinois, and working with this innovative material presents unique challenges for manufacturers. Unlike traditional materials, MIRUM® requires specialized handling and craftsmanship, prompting luxury brands which have adopted this material to send it to Europe or Asia, where some manufacturers have developed expertise.
In our case, we sought local manufacturers committed to adapting their processes for MIRUM®. After months of rigorous testing and collaboration, a Canadian manufacturer, renowned for its excellence in the leather industry, agreed to take on this project. They embraced the challenge, making this collection of handbags the first to be crafted with MIRUM® and manufactured in Canada—a milestone we are truly proud of.
