Our Brands
Two Women | One Dress
Mtindo Design Studio and Mtindo Academy were born out of a partnership between founders, Susan Namirimu and Morgan Ginn. The two women were simultaneously working to develop their own brands when they met. Choosing collaboration over competition, Susan and Morgan decided to combine their ventures to create a place where they could co-create their brands.
Today, Mtindo Design Studio produces two in-house labels; Mtindo by Susan Namirimu and Vinn by Morgan Ginn. Both brands are centered around the iconic wrap dress--which we believe to be a universally loved style by women all across the world.
