The people behind M-K

Two people.
A world of ideas.

We’re Kristian and Paul, co-founders and co-owners of M-K Enterprises. From our home in Yorkshire, we bring everyday comfort and a little imagination to life through our independent brands.

We founded M-K Enterprises in 2022. Today, it’s the shared home for our brands and the ideas behind them.

We co-own Bear Belts and Mythical Moods: two different worlds connected by the same care for how things look, work and feel to use.

One is about comfort you can wear. The other is about a little escape through fragrance. Together, they reflect the practical and creative sides of what we do.

Under M-K, we bring brand strategy, design, e-commerce and day-to-day improvement together. Being based in Yorkshire is part of our story; staying close to the people our brands serve is part of our approach.

What connects us

Small things.
Thoughtfully considered.

Different products and personalities, with a few shared ideas at their heart.

01

Useful in the everyday.

A comfortable fit or a room that feels more inviting. We start with the small things that can make a difference to your day.

02

Space for character.

Each brand has its own voice and world. We want the things we make to feel distinctive, from a practical detail to an imaginative scent.

03

Care in the details.

Design, shopping and the work behind the scenes all matter. We listen, test and refine, making practical improvements as we go.

Our two worlds

Made for everyday.
And a little escape.

Get to know each brand in its own words, and find the one that feels like you.
