Therefore, I became a free agent.<\/p>\n<p>After a few years into it, I became disillusioned at the quality of what I was selling and wanted to be in complete control of it.<\/p>\n<p>I had the confidence to go forward and borrow money from the bank by raising the mortgage on my house.\u00a0\u00a0 That is when I started very slowly importing men\u2019s bags. I knew I wanted to expand and have wallets, briefcases, Attach\u00e9 cases, etc. Which I did accomplish getting after a few years.<\/p>\n<h3>Q: WHAT IS YOUR DESIGN PROCESS?<\/h3>\n<p>A: When designing a new collection my first thought is to think about who it is for.<\/p>\n<p>If I am thinking for a younger, more professional person as I did for my latest collection of briefcases I look at what is happening with the mood in today\u2019s workplace. Also the colors of the times and styling of clothes.<\/p>\n<p>There definitely has been a change to a more relaxed look in the workplace, therefore I needed to see what type of leather would relate. I started by checking out the different types of leathers that would represent the look and quality of what I wanted to accomplish. Then I started to see what the bags and special features must have. After all of that being done, I usually look at what my best sellers are and incorporate the best features from them.<\/p>\n<h3>Q: WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR IN A QUALITY LEATHER?<\/h3>\n<p>A:There are different characteristics qualities in different leathers available.\u00a0\u00a0 For a more sophisticated looking leather like our Italian Signature collection, we look for a leather that is strong and durable, has a shine to it, and has a consistent look throughout the leather. Others we look for a grainier look that does not have the consistent look but a more rugged look to the item. Each collection has a distinct look to it.<\/p>\n<h3>Q: CAN YOU NAME A FEW MILESTONES AND THEIR MEANING IN THE BRAND\u2019S HISTORY?<\/h3>\n<p>A: The first milestones was when I left my basement and garage, warehouse and went to our first building which was on Buchan St. In Montreal. That was a nerve-racking time.<\/p>\n<p>The next one was when we moved onto McCaffrey Street and took a much larger place.<\/p>\n<p>Having expanded our presence in the United States by going into leather goods exhibitions, we were able to extend our reach and sell our products to that many more retailers.<\/p>\n<p>Now selling to retail stores and online stores in the United States, we have gained a lot of momentum.<\/p>\n<p>This year will be our 30th year in business. We are very thankful for the support of all our customers.<\/p>\n<h3>Q: WHAT IS MANCINI LEATHER ASPIRATION?<\/h3>\n<p>A: I want to develop styles that reflect the times and along with it to have the best leathers I can offer while having the most competitive prices.<\/p>\n<p>We want Mancini to be known for carrying a vast selection in the best Leather goods with the latest features and quality leathers at affordable prices.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2658,"featured_media":74733,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2034],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74732","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tips-and-tricks-en-us"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>BEHIND THE BRAND - Mancini<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover the story of Mancini Leather, a premium brand capturing the imagination of discerning clients.
