ABOUT THE BRAND

At the heart of MDK – Miranda Kaloudis lies my deep reverence for crafting leather into timeless, meaningful designs.
My work is a laboratory for experimentation, that transcends the traditional boundaries of leather goods, constantly seeking new ways to reinterpret design. In each collection, I delve into the anatomy of a single concept. A conscious exploration of every facet, through which I create not just accessories, but also stories of form and function.

I bridge the craftsmanship and tradition of the past with the innovative visions of the future. Inspired by the Pythagorean appreciation for numbers and geometry as the foundation of all beauty and harmony, this dialogue is always underpinned by a timeless and mystic constant.

The design language varies from organic curves to sharp, clean lines, yet the design remains sleek and cohesive. The natural beauty and imperfections of leather are cherished, each marking viewed as a narrative of a former life. By extending my explorations to knit designs, I enrich the tactile experience of the collections.

My design resonates with those who appreciate artisanal craftsmanship, minimalist design, and a timeless aesthetic.

Every piece is carefully designed and prototyped in my Zurich studio. Following the principle of sustainability, I personally select all materials to ensure the highest quality and responsible sourcing. The production of these items takes partially place in Switzerland & in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where my collaboration with outstanding artisans goes beyond a mere partnership; it is a familial bond.
