What is Miansai?
Miansai is an American jewellery and accessories brand based in Miami. It was founded in 2008 by Michael Saiger, a New Yorker living in Miami, who remains its creative director.
History
Saiger started the business by making understated men's jewellery from raw materials he refined himself. From a one-person company, Miansai has grown into a lifestyle and fashion brand employing more than 30 artisans.
Products and positioning
Miansai makes jewellery for men, women and children, including fine jewellery and statement pieces. The wider range includes leather bags, wallets and belts, as well as watches in its M12 and M24 lines. Materials include French calf and Italian leathers, precious metals and custom-made military-grade rope.
Design and production are handled in-house, from sketches and moulds to metal melting and final assembly, under Saiger's direction.
Distribution
The brand sells through its own stores, its website and vintage mobile retail vehicles, and its products are available in 40 US states and 36 countries.
Why it matters
Miansai helped popularise minimalist jewellery for men, and its vertically integrated model shows how a jewellery brand can keep control of quality while selling across own retail, e-commerce and stockists.
