The Founder
Founder and Creative Director Michael Chang’s pursuit of sartorial design is intergenerational. Throughout his life, he has drawn inspiration from his own mother’s devotion to art and style. Truly a personal icon of sophistication and class, she introduced Michael to a panorama of rare creations — specifically leather goods — which nurtured an enduring admiration for unique artistry.
Michael’s epicurean upbringing flourished, evolving into a honed study of exotic leathers. In 2015, he drew upon his international experiences and cosmopolitan perspective to deliver the vanguard of exclusive luxury garments at the heart of MJZ.
