Mascotte Industrial Associates (HK) Ltd. was established in 1973 as a photographic bag manufacturer in Hong Kong, just as photography became affordable for the masses. Initially, photo taking was a luxury hobby and the first bags developed by MIA were very high-end, hand-made mainly leather products of the highest standard.
