FAQ's

How do I order?

Every item sold is via my website shop sold on a first come first served basis. I am unable to reserve items for customers or offer a pre-order service.

There aren’t many colour options on your shop - my favourite one isn’t listed, why is this?

This is because it has sold out - (or it hasn’t dropped yet)! I produce all my items in very small quantities due to sourcing the preloved fabrics in small quantities. Each fabric/colour way that is made up will have a very limited stock, once its gone its gone!

Will you be bringing back any fabric colour ways that have sold out?

Every fabric colourway that’s sold is a one-off batch, meaning it will most likely not come back. Sometimes I am able to source a similar or the same fabric again due to it being widely available and common Eg. Black Canvas. This is, however, not guaranteed with any fabric colourway. If you like the item it is best to secure your purchase before it sells out.

How often do you release new products?

This can vary, but I hope to be bringing new products to my shop every few weeks - Keep an eye out on my Instagram for updates on the next drop and new fabrics coming.

Do you offer a made to order or bespoke service?

Unfortunately not.

Can I recommend fabrics that I want to see your products being made in?

Yes! I love hearing suggestions - please send me a DM on Instagram with fabrics you’d like to see @manners.made.

 

♻️

Since starting Manners Made my aim has always been to create a sustainable piece you will love and use. 

Providing this service for your existing fabrics or old garments could give you bag of your dreams with your favourite material. 

Upcycling fabrics this way is much less harmful to the environment, and ultimately mean we can have something more special at the end.

🪡

If you’d like to provide your own fabric OR old garments to be up-cycled into a bag please email me at maisie@mannersmade.com with your enquiry 

We can discuss what materials you had in mind, (see below for tips) prices, bag size preference as well as the amount of fabric needed. I will only be taking on a small amount of commissions per month, so get in touch if you're curious 😊

If an area is stained or damaged I can still use this to make a bag - just as long as there is enough fabric leftover. Alternatively, we can include the mark as character!

Anything too thin or light will become flimsy after use so please bear this in mind when deciding. 

Please note I do not work with leather.
