MANU Atelier presents sustainability as part of its brand ethos, describing a permanent responsibility to the world it lives in. The company says it develops timeless products with longevity and encourages consuming better and more consciously. Its production is local and vertically integrated in its in-house atelier in Istanbul, which it says reduces transportation and pollution and gives greater control over production stages and quality. The brand also states that it uses locally sourced leathers, hand cutting to reduce waste, recycled leftover materials, and reduced packaging. It references LWG-certified tanneries and SEDEX membership, and says it supports women through employment and local charities.

MANU Atelier Sustainability Actions

Local, vertical production

We believe in transparency and that’s why we pride ourselves in our local manufacturing and our vertical production system. “Producing our bags in our own workshop provides us with a great advantage in regards to sustainability. It provides an opportunity to have more control of all production stages and overall, more control over the quality of our products’’. Our vertical manufacturing means less transportation and therefore less pollution. It all begins with our leathers being locally sourced. From the design stages to the local sourcing of the raw materials to the actual production, all stages are handled locally in our in-house workshop.

Hand cutting and zero waste

Our production focuses on minimum wastage by hand cutting the leather patterns. Hand cutting means more control of material and minimises the heavy wastage that usually occurs when using machinery. As we operate a zero-waste policy, we also recycle any leftover materials and re-use them for the lining on our bags or to create up-cycling products.

Reduced machinery use

We don’t use heavy machinery as our handcrafted products are all hand stitched and painted by highly skilled artisans. These artisanal techniques means that we mainly use our workforce which requires less machinery and therefore consumes less energy.
