MCM

MCM – tradition and progress have a name

The MCM logo quickly became a guarantee of quality. MCM not only stands for Modern Creation Munich and the founder Michael Cromer Munich, but also for the year 1900 in Roman numerals. Because: 1900 is considered the beginning of the “era of travel”. MCM stands for the era of travel that began in the jet set of the 1970s and continues to this day of global nomads. MCM's laurel wreath is a symbol of honorable success - a symbol of tradition and striving for progress. MCM's diamond pattern used in the monogram is taken from an old French playing card, symbolizing value, strength and a sense of tradition.

For the monogram items, the traditional material is Cognac Visetos. All Heritage collection bags and most products feature a brass plaque identified by a number at the bottom. All four screws are placed around the brass plaque facing inward toward the logo.

Lifestyle and luxury with MCM

The concept and vision of MCM are constantly being redefined by the modern lifestyle and the pragmatic requirements of future customers. Each piece is crafted with the premise of delivering exceptional European craftsmanship. A tradition of masterful work and design refinement sets strong trends with unconventionally stylish designs. Munich in the 1970s still inspires the glamorous, rebellious and innovative spirit of MCM.

Reinterpretation of the brand

After the brand's decline in 1997 due to the Asian crisis and the founder's tax scandals, it was sold several times until it was taken over in 2005 by the Korean Sung Joo Kim, a former Asia licensee. She brought Michael Michalsky on board and let the luxury brand shine in new splendor. MCM cooperated with numerous celebrities who designed luggage as guest designers. Michael Michalsky's successor Dirk Schönberger wants to reinvent an exciting legacy and build new products from the historic brand. With this project he is exactly in tune with the times.
