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.
Soft Calf Leather
Soft Calf Leather is a relatively strong leather and as a natural material, can age with time and use and may alter in colour due to usage and exposure to light. This is seen as the natural aging of this beautiful material and should not be considered as a defect. It can become marked with wear and as with all leather products, needs to be cared for to maintain its optimum condition.
Do not use any cleaning products and avoid scratching as excessive abrasion as the texture cannot be repaired once damaged. We recommend using professional services for proper care of your bag.
Vegetable Tanned Calf Leather
Vegetable tanned calf leather is a relatively strong leather but in time the colour might change with wear and exposure to light. The mellowing of the color is a feature of this beautiful natural material and should not be considered as a defect.

Suede
Suede is a very absorbent material and it marks easily. For suede leather, colour may transfer onto other garments. It is not appropriate for exceedingly wet climates. Please be aware that you should not clean suede on your own as it can cause irreparable damage. We recommend using professional services for proper care of your bag.

Calf Hair
Calf hair is particularly precious and delicate. Due to the delicate nature of the leather, with time and use the hair will naturally change and shedding may occur. Extra care should be taken to avoid any abrasion, moisture and direct heat.
To keep this leather looking its best, try to ensure it does not rub against other objects. Once the hairs have been worn away, we would be unable to offer a repair service.
Shearling
Due to the delicate nature of the leather, with time and use the shearling will naturally change and shedding may occur. Extra care should be taken to avoid any abrasion, moisture and direct heat. On areas prone to wear such as handles, hair should be expected to wear away first. This is a natural characteristic of this beautiful material and is not considered a flaw. Once the hairs have been worn away, we would be unable to offer a repair service. We recommend using professional services for proper care of your bag.

Nappa Leather
Nappa leather is a very soft and delicate material. Shoes which are made from nappa will stretch over time. As nappa is a beautiful natural leather, any marks on the surface should not be considered as a defect. Nappa leather is very porous, therefore, any moisturizing agents may lead to the watermarks which cannot be easily removed. For long-lasting product life, avoid any contact with abrasive surfaces. We recommend using professional services for proper care.
Faux Shearling
Due to the nature of the material, shedding may occur with time and use. Shaking the product gently will easily remove any loose dirt that has been trapped within the fibers. The fur can be brushed gently to renew and refresh the look of the product. We recommend using professional services for proper care.
