JOHN'S STORY
John McKenzie conceived the idea for his tech accessories brand after years of extensive travel as a fashion buyer. Constantly on the go, he experienced first-hand the frustration of misplacing cables and running out of phone battery at crucial moments.
These repeated challenges inspired him to create a line of tech accessories designed for functionality, convenience, and style. Drawing on his experience in the fashion world, John sought to blend practicality with premium design, ensuring that his products not only solve everyday tech problems but do so with sophistication and elegance.
Exceptional Craftsmanship and Quality
Our luxury leather accessories are crafted with the utmost attention to detail and quality, thanks to our resident chief tanner in the Philippines. Utilizing the finest full-grain cowhide leather, each piece undergoes a meticulous tanning process that adheres to strict Italian standards. We exclusively employ safe and eco-friendly vegetable tanning agents, ensuring a sustainable approach to leather production.
The leather is carefully aniline dyed throughout, enhancing its natural beauty while allowing for a rich, vibrant finish. After dyeing, it is skilfully milled to achieve the suppleness necessary for premium accessories. This process not only ensures a luxurious feel but also guarantees exceptional durability, with the leather developing a beautiful patina over time. Each accessory is a testament to our commitment to quality and craftsmanship, designed to withstand the test of time and enhance your style for years to come.
Distinctive Craftsmanship and Community Impact
The Mantidy collection is distinguished by its exquisite herringbone weave, meticulously handcrafted by talented women artisans in Sibaltan Village, Philippines. Each piece reflects the rich cultural heritage and artistry of the community, showcasing the skill and dedication of these craftsmen.
In addition to celebrating this unique craftsmanship, Mantidy is deeply committed to giving back to the very community that creates its products. By investing in education and infrastructure, we empower the women workers and their families, providing opportunities for growth and development within their village. This initiative not only enhances their quality of life but also fosters a sustainable future, allowing the artisans to thrive while preserving their traditional craft.
Through Mantidy, we aim to create beautiful accessories that embody both elegance and purpose, ensuring that every purchase contributes to a positive impact in the lives of these remarkable women.
