Born in 1995 in Conakry, Mamadou Bah left his hometown to settle in Detroit, Michigan, with his family. Passionate about basketball since a young age, he harbored the dream of becoming a professional player. However, a knee injury thwarted his ambitions. But Mamadou is a persevering man and does not let this failure get him down. He decides to turn to his other passion, fashion.
It was during his college years that Mamadou began to become interested in fashion. A sneaker lover, he developed a growing interest in clothing styles and learned the basics of creating and making clothes. He then decides to test his skills by creating a sweatshirt with a group of friends, and it is the start of an adventure that will lead him to the creation of his own brand.
After joining the basketball team at Northern Michigan University, Mamadou gets injured again, causing him to reconsider his career plans. He then devoted himself entirely to fashion, despite the doubts of those around him. He gives fashion advice to his friends and designs clothes for them. Then, in 2016, he decided to move to Los Angeles to pursue his dream. He takes on odd jobs in the fashion sector while working on his personal project.

He looked for a name that sounded different from American brands and chose “C’est Bon” for its meaning, “It’s all good”, to create a unique identity for his creations. His talent and creative style quickly allowed him to stand out and make his brand known.
From pop-up stores to collaborations, Mamadou’s notoriety is growing. His products sold quickly and attracted the attention of NBA stars such as Dwyane Wade and Anthony Davis. In 2021, his collaboration with the Jordan brand opens new doors for him and allows him to leave his mark in the world of sneakers.
What sets the C’est Bon brand apart is Mamadou’s personal vision. He refuses to follow trends and prefers to add his personal touch to his creations. For him, fashion is a world of innovation and endless possibilities. He draws his inspiration from his Guinean origins and seeks to make his brand a true expression of his identity.
