During a trip to the stunning Côte d'Azur, I discovered beautiful crossbody cell phone chains. As a mom to an energetic little boy who is always on the move, I was delighted to find this practical and stylish solution to keep my hands free — whether it was for carrying my groceries or holding my son's hand.

Back in Montreal, inspired by conversations with other moms at the park, the grocery store, the library, school, and even at work, I came up with the idea to create ALECO Mtl.

The name "ALECO" is an affectionate tribute to my son Alexandre, whom we lovingly call Aleco.

My goal? To offer crossbody cell phone chains, straps and cords that are both practical and elegant, perfectly complementing any outfit. With a crossbody chain, you'll never have to search for your phone again - it will always be within reach.

Because wherever a mom needs both hands, ALECO Mtl is there to help.
