Who are we ?

“Make your life a dream and your dream a reality”: Once upon a time there was Bandit Manchot

Anne, Marie-Christine, and Marie-Laure. Three women, three destinies, one common determination. The determination to create and produce a different kind of fashion, differently. While their careers as stylists take them to the four corners of the world, these style and leather enthusiasts make a sad observation. All luxury brands buy exceptional skins and leathers used to design prototypes or pre-collections but which are not then retained during production. Therefore, wasted. Intuition soon proves them right; they acquire these lots and begin to imagine collections of accessories for women and men… But there is no question of sacrificing the ethics they naturally imposed upon themselves when creating the brand. All production will be carried out in a short circuit in France.

Graulhet, where everything happens

A manufacturing workshop was born in Graulhet, Tarn, with the aim of creating an ecosystem of expertise and building a team of local artisans. And so it was. At the color piano, Anne works on the ranges, colors her inspirations, anticipates upcoming trends, and sniffs out the spirit of the times. She also designs the new products, creates the atmosphere, and coordinates all communication. At her side, Marie-Christine develops the collections, structures the brand's offering, creates prototypes, and manages the company. As for Marie-Laure, she coordinates the artisans from the various trades, oversees production, which is carried out entirely in Graulhet, Tarn, and supports the brand's commercial development.

Made in France at the service of ultra-personalization

Bandit Manchot's second chance was to anticipate market expectations, namely the hyper- customization of accessories. Gone are the days of standardization, imposing the "it bag" of the moment season after season. Because Bandit Manchot works exclusively with rare, re-sourced leathers available in very small quantities, each production run is limited to a few pieces.

A committed and positive fashion that gives soul to the act of purchasing

Bandit Manchot, a committed and resolutely positive universe where colors explode and leathers are joyful and colorful. A deliberately affordable, committed fashion that defines a new approach to everyday luxury, combining virtuous fashion, the timelessness of noble materials, and the sustainability of a unique development model.

“It’s really useful because it’s beautiful.”

The beauty of a pencil case, a tote bag, or a satchel is first and foremost a story, each one different. A unique story punctuated by the centuries-old and precise gesture of the artisan who shapes and transforms the leather to create a unique, living piece. Fashion accessories that carry within them human values ​​imbued with passion, respect, and pride. Everyday companions that embellish and punctuate the lives of women and men by offering solid, simple, elegant, joyful, colorful, timeless, durable, and affordable products.
