AT MOTYÉ, OUR VISION EXTENDS BEYOND THE PRODUCTS WE CREATE. WE ARE DEEPLY COMMITTED TO EMPOWERING ARTISANS, CELEBRATING THEIR SKILL WHILE PROVIDING THEM WITH THE TOOLS TO HONOR THEIR HERITAGE. THROUGH THE LENS OF PHOENICIAN CULTURE — RICH IN CRAFTSMANSHIP AND STORYTELLING — WE INSPIRE THEM TO WEAVE THEIR ANCESTRAL LEGACY INTO EVERY PIECE, CREATING DESIGNS THAT ARE AS MEANINGFUL AS THEY ARE EXQUISITE. THIS ETHOS GUIDES EVERY ASPECT OF OUR WORK, FROM OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH ARTISANS AND PARTNERS TO OUR ROLE WITHIN THE BROADER CULTURAL AND CREATIVE LANDSCAPE. BY FUSING HERITAGE WITH INNOVATION, WE HONOR THE PAST WHILE CRAFTING A PURPOSEFUL FUTURE.

MEET OUR CREATIVE DIRECTOR & FOUNDER — YASMINE MAZABI

A REFLECTION OF ITS FOUNDER’S VISION; A CELEBRATION OF TIMELESS ELEGANCE, EXCEPTIONAL CRAFTSMANSHIP, AND THE ENDURING BEAUTY OF A STORY WELL TOLD. BORN IN CARTHAGE’S HISTORIC ACROPOLIS, YASMINE’S EARLIEST INSPIRATIONS WERE SHAPED BY THE STORIES AND SECRETS OF A GREAT EMPIRE. THESE RUINS, STEEPED IN HISTORY, BECAME HER FIRST MUSE — A SILENT GUIDE THAT CONTINUES TO INFORM AND INSPIRE EVERY MOTYÉ CREATION. HER JOURNEY BEGAN IN THE STRUCTURED REALM OF PRODUCT AND PACKAGING DESIGN, A FOUNDATION THAT INSTILLED AN APPRECIATION FOR PRECISION AND PURPOSE. IT WAS HER PASSION FOR FASHION THAT IGNITED HER PATH TOWARD BAG DESIGN. AT THE ÉCOLE SUPÉRIEURE DES SCIENCES ET TECHNOLOGIES DU DESIGN, SHE REFINED HER VISION, DRIVEN BY THE BELIEF THAT CREATIVITY IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF LIFE. RAISED IN TUNISIA, A LAND WHERE CRAFTSMANSHIP IS REVERED, SHE WAS IMMERSED IN A CULTURE OF ARTISTRY AND INNOVATION. COLLABORATING WITH MASTER ARTISANS, SHE ENSURES THAT EVERY MOTYÉ PIECE CARRIES THE LEGACY OF THIS RICH TRADITION, HONORING THEIR METICULOUS SKILLS. IN EGYPT THESE DESIGNS COME TO LIFE. CAIRO’S DYNAMIC ENERGY AND VIBRANT TRADE NETWORK — ECHOING THE CULTURAL TRADITIONS OF MOTYA — FUELS HER CREATIVE PROCESS. AMID THE CITY’S CONTRASTS, SHE FINDS THE INSPIRATION TO CRAFT A BRAND THAT TRANSCENDS MERE FUNCTIONALITY. MOTYÉ PIECES ARE NOT SIMPLY ACCESSORIES; THEY ARE ENDURING EXPRESSIONS OF HERITAGE AND MODERN SOPHISTICATION, DESIGNED TO CAPTIVATE AND INSPIRE.

THE JOURNEY, INSPIRATION & CARTHAGINIAN HERITAGE INFLUENCE

MOTYÉ IS INSPIRED BY THE ANCIENT PHOENICIAN CITY OF MOTYA, A SYMBOL OF CULTURAL REFINEMENT AND TIMELESS INFLUENCE. ROOTED IN THIS RICH HERITAGE, OUR CREATIONS CELEBRATE THE ENDURING VALUES OF ELEGANCE, CRAFTSMANSHIP, AND ARTISTRY, REIMAGINED FOR A MODERN WORLD. MOTYA WAS A RADIANT JEWEL OF PHOENICIAN AMBITION, ITS STREETS ALIVE WITH THE VIBRANT PULSE OF TRADE AND CULTURE. THROUGH ITS GATES FLOWED TREASURES OF IMMEASURABLE VALUE, ITS ALLEYS ALIVE WITH IDEAS THAT TRAVELED ACROSS CONTINENTS. CONQUERED, REBUILT, AND EVENTUALLY ABANDONED, MOTYA BECAME A TESTAMENT TO RESILIENCE — A REMINDER THAT TRUE GREATNESS IS LASTING. AT MOTYÉ, WE HONOR THE VALUES THAT DEFINE TRUE LUXURY: AN UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO CRAFTSMANSHIP, A PURSUIT OF QUALITY, AND A PROFOUND RESPECT FOR THE HERITAGE THAT INSPIRES US. EACH CREATION REFLECTS A THOROUGH INTEGRATION OF ARTISTRY AND VISION, FROM THE SELECTION OF THE FINEST LEATHER AND RAW MATERIALS TO THE IMPECCABLE DETAIL OF THE HARDWARE.

THE TANIT— OUR GUIDING MOTIF

CENTRAL TO MOTYÉ’S IDENTITY IS TANIT, THE CARTHAGINIAN GODDESS OF LIFE, POWER, AND RENEWAL. HER SYMBOL — A TRIANGLE, A LINE, AND A CIRCLE — IS GRACEFULLY EMBEDDED INTO EVERY CREATION. IT IS AN EMBLEM OF STRENGTH AND CONNECTION, A SUBTLE TRIBUTE TO THE VALUES THAT INSPIRE US.MOTYÉ IS ALSO SHAPED BY THE PHILOSOPHY OF JILWA, AN ANCIENT GESTURE ROOTED IN BERBER AND PHOENICIAN TRADITIONS. FLUID AND INSTINCTIVE, JILWA REFLECTS THE CYCLES OF LIFE AND THE SEAMLESS CONTINUITY OF PAST AND PRESENT. AT MOTYÉ, THIS ETHOS IS EXPRESSED THROUGH THE CURVES, LINES, AND DETAILS OF EACH PIECE. IT IS A RHYTHM THAT INFORMS EVERY ELEMENT, AN UNDERSTATED HARMONY THAT DEFINES OUR APPROACH TO DESIGN.

A POEM IN STONE & SEA

WHISPERS OF ANCIENT EMPIRES
CARRIED BY THE SEA,
ECHO THROUGH SUNLIT WAVES,
IN QUIET, ENDLESS PLEA. MARBLE RUINS KISS THE DAWN,
WHERE SECRETS SOFTLY SLEEP,
CARTHAGE STANDS — A SILENT SONG,
ITS MEMORIES BURIED DEEP. GOLDEN LIGHT ON TURQUOISE TIDES,
HORIZONS STRETCH AND SIGH,
THE PAST AND PRESENT INTERTWINE,
BENEATH A BOUNDLESS SKY. TIMELESS BEAUTY, FIERCE AND STILL,
ETCHED IN SALT AND STONE,
CARTHAGE BREATHES IN EVERY BREEZE,
A LEGEND ALL ITS OWN.
