MEC Design Philosophy

Product Development

Our design philosophy is a set of principles that guides us through every step of the product development process. It is the foundation for building innovative, functional, and durable MEC-brand products. It takes approximately 18 months for a product to go from initial design to arrival in our stores, and even longer to research and develop new fabrics or technologies. Keeping these ideas in mind through all the development cycles ensures we don't get off route somewhere along the way.

Accountable

Design is the first step to building our members' trust.

Quality

Simple

MEC design is functional and intuitive in both line and form.

Responsible
