In celebrating her 10th anniversary practicing yoga, Founder Jennifer De Podesta launched Mibospi to satisfy the need for 'fashionable wellness'. While living in Los Angeles, De Podesta was in the habit of stashing her day clothes in the trunk of her car and slinging her yoga mat over her shoulder and shuffling off to yoga practice in her sweats and flipflops.

After a move to London and teaching yoga to private clients, namely well-heeled women living in fabulous flats, De Podesta quickly summed up that she needed to update her shabby look. She struggled to find the perfect all-around bag which could take her throughout her busy day and which was not only functional but also fashionable. As a budding designer, De Podesta set out to make her own. A fateful move to Italy to follow her amore set the backdrop where Mibospi was born.
