Geschiedenis
Founded in 1987 by Frédéric Mamarbachi, the brand was originally named La Cache before rebranding to m0851. It maintains a vertically integrated structure, with design and production centralized in Montreal. The company is recognized for its use of full-grain leathers and its commitment to local manufacturing. In fashion history, it represents the late 20th-century shift toward artisanal, heritage-focused production within an urban, contemporary context.
