At the heart of MEMEN is a clear mission: to make a tangible difference.

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.

Sustainability at MEMEN

For us, sustainability means more than just using the right materials—it’s about caring for the people behind the products. We believe in creating work that sustains both craft and community. Beyond the product itself, this means fair compensation and meaningful work that protects traditions for the future.

Care for Your MEMEN Bag

We use the finest Ethiopian calfskin leather, known for its rich texture that softens beautifully over time. Natural variations in color or texture aren't flaws—they're what make each piece unique. Because every bag is handcrafted, slight differences in stitching or appearance are part of its charm.

Calfskin is durable and easy to care for. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth or leather cleaner, and apply conditioner as needed. Store your bag in a cool, dry place away from direct light, and avoid contact with perfumes, nail polish, or alcohol-based products to prevent stains. Lighter leathers may darken and develop a rich patina with use.

All our leathers are responsibly sourced as by-products of the meat industry, ensuring quality and sustainability throughout
