Mune Manzur

Hello and welcome to the official Mune Manzur Handmade blog. 

 My mother and I with a purse I made her.

Mune is my nickname from childhood, short for muneca, which means doll in Spanish. Manzur is my maiden name. I decided to use these two names for my new line of purses and handbags as a way to reflect the heritage and work which goes into them.
While visiting my family in Colombia this year, I became fascinated by traditional leather craftsmanship methods in my hometown and decided to learn it as a new skill. With much practice I have learned to make purses which I consider beautiful and marry my love of leather work with my love for Colombian art, as demonstrated in personalized woven straps of the Guayu peoples of Colombia and other leather working techniques.
I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy creating these one of a kind products.
Come back regularly and check out what new items I am making, as well as some behind the scenes work.
God Bless!
