Manufactoum Workshop Leather goods maker, craftsman and designer in Saint-Jean-de-Luz

Hidden in the very heart of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, our open workshop, integrated into the retail space, offers you the unique opportunity to be welcomed and advised by our leather craftsmen. With experience honed at prestigious names such as Hermès and other Basque institutions like Maison Margirault, Sandrine Bordenave, the founder of our brand, and her team create exceptional handbags, bespoke belts, and small leather goods .

True to our commitment to local sourcing and deeply connected to the history of Basque leather, we reflect local craftsmanship. Our production remains intentionally limited, highlighting the meticulous work and time invested by our artisans. Thus, each step in the creation of a bag is entirely handled by a dedicated craftsman.

The leathers used in our creations come from the finest European farms and are enhanced by the last two remaining Basque tanneries ( EPV label and LWG standard ). These tanneries, rich in expertise passed down through generations, bring an exceptional dimension to our leathers.

All our models are made exclusively from full-grain bull calf leather. This choice of full-grain leather, the finest and outermost layer of the hide, gives our items a timeless elegance.

Each of our creations is the result of meticulous consideration of the material, its feel, and its grip, ensuring perfect harmony between style, use, and functionality. Our finishes, inspired by fine French leather goods, and our attention to detail lend a unique touch to our handbag collection. Their practical, discreet, and elegant design embodies our commitment to excellence and sustainability.
