About

Founded in 2024 by a Louisiana native of Baton Rouge, Montel is the culmination of a journey that began in Houston, Texas in 2021, when our founder launched his first fashion endeavor. Drawn to the artistry of leather craftsmanship, he began honing his skills in Houston and New York City before returning to Louisiana to create a brand indicative of the soul of his home state while continuing to practice and educate himself on the craft. At Montel, every stitch and detail tells a story - one of passion, perseverance, and a deep connection to the traditions that make Louisiana so unique.

When you choose Montel, you're making a decision as impactful as the Louisiana Purchase itself. Our products aren't just luxury items; they're investments in cultural richness, history, and the continuance of a legacy. Whether you're selecting from our curated collection or designing a bespoke piece, Montel offers more than timeless elegance - it offers the chance to carry Louisiana with you, wherever you go.
