About Us

M Concept is a new type of lifestyle retailer, pairing our curated shopping experience with a global social impact mission. Under our "Good Designs" philanthropy program, 5% of M Concept's yearly profits is given to organizations working for positive changes in children’s rights, hunger relief, health equality, and clean water. We believe that good designs should  be part of every aspect of life. 

Founded in February 2016 by Ethan Nguyen, M Concept started with a unique collection of clothing, jewelry and lifestyle products from local Philadelphia designers and six months later, earned Philadelphia Magazine's 2016 "Best of Philly" award.

In the following year, M Concept evolved to introduce selected goods from brands and businesses beyond Philadelphia and earned a spot on Visit Philly's list of notable independent shops. In 2018, building from the positive response to the shop's custom design services, M Concept introduced MCX, an in-house line of clothing and jewelry. Additionally, the shop's curation of local designer collections celebrated a second "Best of Philly" award from Philadelphia Magazine and the shop was featured in Philadelphia Inquirer's "Best Shop in Philadelphia" list.

Now, M Concept offers our own unique collection and a curated but diverse mix of clothing, jewelry, small gifts and lifestyle products that reflects our relationships with local and global creative entrepreneurs.
