At MANDRN, we’re all about freedom, creativity, and self-expression—which is why we’re so excited to introduce our latest limited-edition collab with the wildly creative, unapologetic artist Papou.
Meet Papou
South Florida-born Papou creates art straight from the soul—often painting with her hands instead of brushes. Her work is infused with her Greek and Native American roots, childhood nostalgia, and a playful sense of liberation. She’s been part of the MANDRN fam since her vintage shop days and now, this collab brings our creative journeys full circle.
"I’ve been a fan of MANDRN since 2020 and knew the quality would be lasting. I was happy to associate my name with a brand I love." – Papou
The Collab
The MANDRN x PAPOU Atlas Woven Saddle Dark Bag is a fusion of craftsmanship and artistry. Made from our signature rustic leather, this bag is designed to age beautifully. But the real magic is inside—a custom interior lining inspired by Papou’s original painting, transforming your bag into wearable art.
"The custom lining was inspired by the sea—Mediterranean meets high design, with a bit of romantic, playful Papou energy."
We also co-created a pink fish charm, a signature in her work representing freedom, creativity, and flow. Plus, the first 50 orders will receive a limited-edition Papou art print—made exclusively for this collab.
"When I created the limited-edition print for MANDRN, it just spilled out of me. It felt like a proclamation of being proud of myself."
Launching on World Art Day
The collab officially drops on April 15, 2025 (World Art Day).
This one’s limited—once it’s sold out, it’s gone for good.
"It’s my hope that when people wear this bag, they feel free to be exactly who they are, to wear it their own way. It’s a reminder you can do anything if you want it."
Get ready to carry a piece of art that celebrates creativity, freedom, and unapologetic self-expression.
