The story began when Marie found a vintage suitcase in her grandmother’s home and began using it to store her daughter’s precious keepsakes. Her friend, Alison, after a life changing event, had also been thinking about ways to keep and share memories with her children. The pair soon became business partners, launching Meminio in early 2016, with a line of exquisitely crafted leather cases meant to capture and store all of those important life moments in beautiful ways.
