Monitaly
Meg Company’s original brand, Monitaly was launched in 1997, which took over the spirit of Meg Company’s earlier brand, Hello Hello Clothing. The name Monitaly is made up of the designer’s favorite things, which is the name Monica (designer’s daughter’s), Military, and Italy.
Monitaly’s motto is vintage detail, quality and comfort. Monitaly has developed as the brand imports any kind of culture, in an out of box kind of way. The brand’s mission is to touch hearts with people who wear these clothes, and to keep growing.
Santa Domingo Boots
Santo Domingo Boots was launched by Meg Company in 1997. The Santo Domingo brand is best known for high-end and best-quality Goodyear-welted Western Boots, Engineer Boots and other styles of boots and shoes. Santo Domingo Boots are made by artisans at the factory that have been making quality boots since the 1930’s in Mexico. They make every single boot by hand with their traditional techniques.
The leather that is used to make Santo Domingo Boots is hand-cut gently by scissors and nailed to the last by hand (bench made). The bench made manufacturing process allows the leather to retain it’s original texture and strength. Factory policy mandates that all shoes remain on the last for at least ten days or until the leather adapts to the perfect shape of the last. Some designs require small wooden stakes pounded by hand into the heel which is a technique has been used for centuries. Thus, it takes significant time and effort to make great quality Santo Domingo Boots.
One key special feature of Santo Domingo Boots is the leather insole and heel counter. The leather used for the leather insole and heel counter is naturally vegetable tanned and sanded by hand to expose the first layer of flesh underneath the grain finish thus improving breathability. The heel counter is extended to its arch, so that the boots have amazing arch support. The great design and functional structure of Santo Domingo Boots keep satisfying the lucky wearer in every way.
In addition to the high-end line, Santo Domingo Boots has extended production to a casual collection approximately one year ago. The casual collection boasts modern taste at an affordable price so that a wider audience of customers can enjoy wearing leather boots and shoes daily.
CHAMULA
Chamula products are very warm and soft because they are made of Merino wool which comes from sheep grazing in the Mexican Mountains. Don’t confuse your grandpa’s itchy old sweater with Chamula! Chamula sweaters feel great on your skin. Mexican natives hand-make Chamula products one by one for all production processes such as dyeing and knitting, so each product is one of a kind and very original. The more you wear it, the deeper its texture gets. It will be your must-have garment in the winter!
