BANDIT MANCHOT
Three friends were working with prestigious designers such as Nina Ricci or Vanessa Bruno. One fine day, they decided to act on their ethical values and turn them into a creative project: the Bandit Manchot leather products (cardholders, zip-around wallets, shopping bags). Their accessories are icons of modernity, born out of their very personal reinterpretation of the past. That same concept of reinventing tradition led them to salvage scraps of leather used to manufacture high-end products, made unique by their finishes, qualities, textures and colors, deserving better than oblivion, to produce a collection of leather pouches with tattoo-like markings engraved on their skin, all made in France.
