Who I am

 

Hello! My name is Emanuela, I am the mind, hands and heart of CuciManu, a project born 10 years ago and slowly grew until it became my job in 2021.

I am a loyal, simple and essential person. I live in a small village in the province of Modena, but as soon as I have a moment, I escape to my little house in the mountains.

 I love walking in the woods and being enchanted by the colors and sounds that nature produces!

For work, but above all for passion, I make bags, backpacks and various accessories in Alcantara.

They are all eco-sustainable products: every material used, whether it is the Alcantara, the linings, or the lamps, comes from warehouse leftovers.

BUT WHAT IS ALCANTARA?

Alcantara is an elegant material, soft to the touch and durable over time. Precisely for this reason you can often find it used in car seats or in the sofas of your living rooms…

These same characteristics are what pushed me to buy it the first time and make Alcantara the material for my productions. It is resistant, washable and extremely light, ideal for making handmade bags!

Each model is named after one of the women who inspired me: Debora, Anselma etc.. my dear grandmothers.

Once you have developed a CuciManu bag, you will immediately feel in harmony with her, it will transmit to you a sensation of softness and comfort that no other material can offer!

Each of my pieces is unique, as I always try to change a detail in the bags I make, whether it is the alternation of colors, the position of the pockets or the model itself.

They are simple bags, for everyday life, but still unique and unrepeatable, intended for those who love unique and handcrafted pieces!

For any questions do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you with all my heart,

Manu
