Alright, guys, so today I wanted to figure out who created MCM. You know, those bags with the bold logos? I really dig their style, so I got curious about the history of it.
So, I started digging around. First thing, I just did a simple search about MCM. Turns out, it’s a German brand, which is cool. But the name, MCM, that was still a mystery to me.
Then I found out that MCM was once a licensed brand of some group called Sungjoo. This was back in 1991, so a while ago. I kept going, trying to find the actual beginning of it all.
And boom! I found out it started way back in 1976. The guy who started it all was named Michael Cromer, and it was in Munich. That’s where the name comes from – Michael Cromer Munich. Makes sense, right?
I scrolled through a bunch of articles to get the full story. Established in 1976, MCM, yeah, it’s the initials of the founder and the city. This Michael Cromer guy seemed to have a good eye for style because people really loved those bags.
So, to sum it up, from what I gathered:
- MCM is a German brand.
- It was once under the Sungjoo Group in 1991.
- It was founded in 1976 by Michael Cromer in Munich.
- The name MCM is from the founder’s name and the city.
That’s basically it! It was a fun little history dive. Now, whenever I see an MCM bag, I’ll remember the story behind it. Those bags have a pretty cool legacy!
