About MNTR – Made North Threads
About MNTR
A Canadian Brand. A Family Mission. A Movement With Meaning.
MNTR (Made North Threads) began as a small idea between Lukas, an ambitious 18-year-old creative living with ADHD and anxiety, and his mom — who always believed in his potential.
Together, they turned a challenge into a calling: to build a brand rooted in creativity, mental health awareness, and the belief that every young person deserves support, confidence, and community.
What started as a mother–son project has now grown into something even stronger — a family-led mission shared by all three siblings:
Lukas, Sophia, and Milla.
From One Story to a Shared Purpose
As MNTR evolved, so did its impact.
Lukas realized that the journey he once walked alone is one many young people face — navigating ADHD, anxiety, pressure, identity, and the search for direction. His two sisters, Sophia and Milla, joined the mission, bringing their own strengths and perspectives.
Together, the siblings have transformed MNTR into a brand that blends:
-Canadian-made streetwear
-Tutoring and academic support
-School talks and youth engagement
-Mentoring and personal growth
-Creative empowerment
-Scholarships for students facing ADHD, learning disabilities, or mental health challenges
MNTR is no longer just apparel —
it’s a full ecosystem designed to uplift, educate, and empower.
Meet the MNTR Co-Founders
Lukas — The Creative Visionary
The original spark behind MNTR. Living with ADHD and anxiety, Lukas uses his experiences to fuel creativity, design, youth connection, and honest conversations around mental health.
Sophia — The Organizer & Leader
The backbone of the operation. Sophia brings structure, planning, and leadership — ensuring the brand stays grounded, organized, and constantly moving forward.
Milla — The Artsy Creator
A creative force with an artistic eye. Milla helps shape MNTR’s visual identity, storytelling, design ideas, and youth-focused creative direction.
Together, they represent three strengths, one mission, and one unified family story.

MNTR Is More Than a Brand — It’s a Movement.
Built by family.
Powered by youth.
Created for anyone who believes purpose, creativity, and community can change a life.
Community Roots — Recognized in Our City
MNTR was built on community — and our community saw it before anyone else did.
In 2025, co-founder Lukas Romano was recognized by the City of Vaughan for his leadership, creativity, and commitment to empowering youth.
Standing beside the Mayor and City Councillors, Lukas represented what MNTR stands for: purpose, mentorship, and using your voice to make a difference.
This moment became a reminder of why MNTR exists:
To lift young people up, to create real impact, and to lead with heart.
Where MNTR took its first steps — together.
MNTR in the Community
From concerts in the park to youth-focused events, our journey has always been rooted in real people and real moments. These gatherings remind us why MNTR exists — to uplift, empower, and bring community together in meaningful ways.
