THE IDEA

Whenever he brought his grandfather's vintage weekender along, Kamal was stopped multiple times at the airport -- not for extra security screening -- but from gentlemen asking him where he got his bag.  An idea was born: to create high quality men’s leather goods that turns heads and makes an unforgettable impression. Meqnes is born.

THE LAUNCH

Kamal and David shoot a glamorous crowdfunding video that takes the internet by storm. In just thirty days, they raise $50,000 on Kickstarter. The dream becomes a reality.

THE NEW OFFERINGS

The Meqnes team designs 7 new products which are once again successfully funded on Kickstarter.

THE NEW VISION

After mastering the world of men’s travel bags, the Meqnes team decides to focus on small details:  beautiful handcrafted leather accessories like Belts that combine classic style and modern taste.
