The (small) Mapache team
Working towards more ethical fashion with mariachi music in the background: this is the daily life of the Mapache team, made up mainly of 4 people (and more in high season)! Behind the scenes, we have a team with highly complementary skills, committed to the values of slow fashion, and who never say no to lunch in the sun. We are proud to contribute to bringing Mapache to life, guided by the desire to achieve our mission and the desire to take you on a journey through our creations.
JONATHAN THOUGHT AND CREATED MAPACHE.
THEN, HE SURROUNDED HIMSELF WITH A PASSIONATE TEAM.
Jonathan
Founder and manager of Mapache since 2015 , Jonathan orchestrates the overall development of the brand. He shares with the team daily his attachment to Mexico, his vision of revisited craftsmanship and his desire to create unique, quality sandals. In constant contact with our artisans, he oversees production, the creation of new models and the commercial growth of Mapache.
- Don't even mention a new project to him, he might complete it in less than 48 hours!
Clear
Marketing Director and Product Manager , Claire joined the team in 2020 to inject a healthy dose of dynamism into Mapache! Her role is multifaceted: she designs the sandal models and provides artistic direction for the collections, while also managing the website and the various marketing actions needed to promote the brand.
- Each day has its own colorful look! Every arrival at the office is a successful sartorial surprise.
Lara
Communications and partnerships manager since 2021 , Lara is in charge of brand promotion and the design of all its communications, particularly on social networks! At the same time, she takes care of collaborations with content creators and friendly brands in order to increase Mapache's notoriety.
- More terrifying than a horror movie? The time she spends scrolling through Instagram in search of the perfect content.
Chloe
B2B Manager , Chlöé joined Mapache in 2022 to ensure the brand's commercial development. Distributing sandals to as many stores as possible, supervising sales agents, ensuring shoe supplies between Mexico and France... So many missions to boost Mapache's reputation in retail!
- A musical expert, Chlöé is our in-house jukebox.
Adrien
Adrien and Mapache: a story that has been going on since 2024. The latter is in charge of the logistics side of the team. Preparing your packages, managing inventory, and shipping collections to our retailers: he's busy behind the scenes every day, putting a smile on our customers' faces.
- He prepares all your orders to music, and sometimes even while dancing!
Paula
At the beginning of 2025, Paula joined Mapache's marketing department . Her role? To improve the customer experience on the e-shop throughout the spring-summer season in order to build loyalty among our community of customers. Email marketing, SEO, segmentation... Nothing escapes her!
- With Paula, it's always snack time (and preferably with cookies).
Clemency
Clémence joined the team in 2025 to take on a major challenge: managing the social media of our second brand PÜP and launching the Mapache Tik Tok account ! Always armed with her camera, she never misses an opportunity to capture our fast-paced daily life in images, with a southern accent in the background.
- She loves to talk and she livens up the open space like no one else!
The craftsmen
It's impossible to forget those without whom Mapache could not exist! Our artisans craft your sandals from A to Z, using expertise passed down from generation to generation. They allow us to access exceptional craftsmanship, carried out with great care, rigorous technique, and all the warmth of Mexican culture.
