Manu Atelier

For the Manu Atelier Fall/Winter 2017-18 collection, Merve and Beste Manastir have chosen to continue working on their classics. The star of the Manu Atelier handbags, Pristine, is available this season in deep colors like burgundy or mustard with a few touches of antique rose, ideal for the autumn. Same vibe for the Demi small half-moon bag made of smooth colorful leather for the end of year season. The biggest surprise is probably the Micro Fernweh, dressed up in sheepskin this winter, for a stylish cold season. Discover the Manu Atelier bags on the MONNIER Frères website.

From an early age, the two sisters, Beste and Merve Manastir, have been immersed in craftsmanship and leatherwork. In 2014, the duo launched their own brand, Manu Atelier. Along with their father, a craftsman based in Istanbul since 1976, the two sisters design fashion accessories that combine modern cuts with ancestral skills. The result is a collection of hand-cut bags that are as elegant as original and functional.

Unlike their father who began his apprenticeship at the age of 11, Beste and Merve Manastir chose to take the time to diversify before founding their brand Manu Atelier in 2014. The two sisters from Istanbul, who were eager to work with leather, first worked in the press and in PR to broaden their knowledge of the fashion industry.
