The MUNGAI hand embroidery workshop, located in Pistoia, has roots going back to the early 1900s.
The company was started by the current owner’s mother, who passed her experience and skill on to her daughter, Edi Mungai. She modernized her mother's approach by developing new styles of embroidery, utilizing new fabrics and new designs, and complementing her mother’s knowledge and experience with what Edi had learnt at school.
The MUNGAI Company began to work with famous shops in Milan, Venice, Verona, and Turin. Many items were bought by national and international figures, including sets of bed linens for a famous European princess as well as curtains to furnish the premises of an Italian prime minister.
In recent years, the company has continued to grow. In 1996 it started to produce high-quality pocket squares and handkerchiefs, made exclusively by hand and a meticulous attention to detail, which are sold in the foremost national and international shops.
Today the company is run by Edi Mungai and her children Sara and Matteo Bargiacchi, who are finding solutions to the challenge of combining the values of the past with the demands of today.
The MUNGAI Company is now offering a new BABY line, made exclusively by hand, according to tradition, using an exceptional organic cotton fabric and 100% natural cotton terry.
The BABY line is composed of extraordinarily soft and graciously delicate items.
A product from the MUNGAI BABY line gives value to something precious, to something which incorporates a tradition that, for more than one hundred years, has resisted the "disposable" logic of today. For MUNGAI , each individual item is important, created to last a lifetime and to be passed on to future generations. This philosophy encapsulates the company’s expertise, attention to detail, and imagination- all with an eye toward the future.
