Carolina, Catherine and Andres Min & Mon Co-founders. We are so honored to be featured by TIME, in collaboration with Nissan USA, and to be recognized as Latino Leaders. The seed of Min & Mon was planted years ago, cultivated from our beloved Colombia's historic, cultural tradition of leather working and nourished by a passion for storytelling and design.

To watch our dream flourish is simply breathtaking, like the first bloom after a freeze. We couldn't have gotten to this point without you, the people who connect with our art. So, from the bottom of our hearts and our not-in-the-least-bit-messy purses, we thank you for every bit of support you've shown us over these beautiful 7 years of chasing after our dreams! Thanks to TIME and Nissan for honoring us as Drivers of Tomorrow.
