Product Care

Manu Atelier Product Care

Every inch of Manu Atelier leather goods has been conscientiously crafted. The elements that have altered this craft into an art form are; quality, craftsmanship, time, creativity and commitment.  Every single piece of Manu Atelier is an expression of love, research and technique. Our products are the result of authentic and well-designed works of our master’s art and like any other valuable item, they should be treated with great care.

Our products are the result of extensive research, resulting in the fine details synonymous with high quality luxury. Slight variations in leathers are entirely normal for the type of natural leathers used by Manu Atelier.

All types of leather and other delicate materials (including metal accessories) may suffer from humidity. Humidity, salt and atmospheric agents in general can cause permanent and irreversible wear and tear. Therefore, please take care to avoid rain and direct contact with heat, oil, grease (make up), alcohol (perfume solvents) and other abrasive products and surfaces as Manu Atelier cannot assume responsibility for the eventual deterioration, modification and mishandling of our products.

Avoid contact with any materials which may transfer their colour pigments onto our products.

All materials are sourced for their exceptional quality and are tested extensively prior to sale.

Always store your product in the dust bag provided when not in use.

Do not use any cleaning products and avoid scratching or excessive abrasion as the texture cannot be repaired once damaged. We recommend using professional services for proper care of your bag.
