Featuring iconic, retro style – our detailed statement pieces strive to bring nations and people together through a modern message of a world undivided.The Mondetta message of cultural diversity was forged from our founders own lived experiences. Born in East Africa but forced out by Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, two sets of brothers found refuge in Winnipeg, Canada. Arriving virtually penniless, they had a first-hand experience of a multicultural upbringing in a country that was truly diverse.It was during a record-setting snowstorm on the cold Canadian Prairies in 1986 that these brothers decided to create a clothing startup while stranded in a basement. At that time, communications were advancing, the world was seemingly "shrinking" and the global village concept was taking shape. To reflect the changes they were witnessing, the name 'Mondetta' was coined, translating to 'small world'.
