Founded in 1921 by Alexandré Mintze; Magnum Worldwide Inc., set out to create well-designed fashionable accessory giant that appealed to a broad market. In a petite and quite French village loft, seven artisans handcrafted a collection of leather goods using skills handed down from generation to generation and introduced this sensibility in Paris through exclusive leather and allied materials created and produced by the master craftsmanship of the Tuscan artisans. Discerning consumers soon began to seek out the quality and unique nature of Mintz craftsmanship, a brand that reflected the true spirit of Magnum Worldwide Inc. Now greatly expanded, Mintz continues to maintain the highest standards for materials and workmanship. Mintz’s exceptional workforce remains committed to carefully upholding the principles of quality and integrity that define the company. We attribute the prominence of the Mintz brand to the unique combination of our original French attitude and design, our heritage of fine leather goods and custom fabrics, our superior product quality and durability, and our commitment to customer service. During the last decade, Mintz has emerged as one of Europe&＃039;s preeminent designer, producer, and marketer of fine accessories and gifts for women for handbags, women’s small leather goods, business cases.
