The story
HISTORY, KNOW-HOW, PASSION, TRADITION and INNOVATION are the elements that characterize the company MUNGAI.
MUNGAI interprets and modernizes the great Italian sartorial tradition as well as the refinement and typical taste of the Florentine area and of Tuscany in general. MUNGAI is an elegant and seductive world, made of attention to detail, choice of raw materials, style and quality control. All aimed at satisfying every expectation of the most demanding client.
The MUNGAI hand embroidery workshop, located in Pistoia, has roots going back to the early 1900s.
The company was started by the current owner’s mother, who passed her experience and skill on to her daughter, Edi Mungai. She modernized her mother's approach by developing new styles of embroidery, utilizing new fabrics and new designs, and complementing her mother’s knowledge and experience with what Edi had learnt at school.
The MUNGAI Company began to work with famous shops in Milan, Venice, Verona, and Turin. Many items were bought by national and international figures, including sets of bed linens for a famous European princess as well as curtains to furnish the premises of an Italian prime minister.
In recent years, the company has continued to grow. In 1996 it started to produce high-quality pocket squares and handkerchiefs, made exclusively by hand and a meticulous attention to detail, which are sold in the foremost national and international shops.
