What to know about MCM
MCM, short for Modern Creation München, is a German leather goods label founded in Munich in 1976 by Michael Cromer. It is built around the Cognac Visetos monogram coated canvas, brass plate insignia with individual serial numbers, and logo-print backpacks and luggage rooted in travel. South Korea's Sungjoo Group, led by chairwoman Kim Sung-joo, took control in 2005 and repositioned the brand toward younger, streetwear-adjacent design. Recent collections shown at Milan Fashion Week rework the monogram, including a three-dimensional Cubic Monogram, ahead of the label's 50th anniversary in 2026.
