MEMEN is built on a deep respect for Ethiopian leather craftsmanship and the artisans behind each piece. Our approach brings stability, community, and economic opportunity to a craft that has too often been treated as a lost art. This vision inspired our founders to create MEMEN, quality leather goods rooted in heritage, designed with intention, and made to empower women.
A portion of our proceeds supports organizations improving the lives of women and children, with a special focus on the Hamlin Fistula Foundation. Based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, this foundation provides life-changing care for women affected by obstetric fistula, a serious condition common in underserved communities. Through treatment, education, and outreach, Hamlin offers thousands of women hope, healing, and a chance to rebuild their lives.
By contributing to the Hamlin Fistula Foundation, we help provide essential medical care and empower women to live healthier, more dignified lives. It’s a cause close to our hearts, and we’re proud to support their important work.
