YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE,
on what we do, find out who we are and of course why we do it, so as not to be fooled. It is legitimate !
To sum up. In the El Manos studio our mission is to reduce our carbon footprint while providing customers with stylish and high quality clothing.
Our collections feature five pieces or less and are pre-ordered with a particular focus on limited-edition items. This allows us to cut all costs that are not related to quality and focus on what matters most: the quality of fabrics, tailoring and customer service.
WHO ARE WE ?
Before the creation of Elmanos Studio in 2016, we had created a classic streetwear brand , History Vision, in 2014.
This brand did not correspond to us, of course, it allowed us to better understand what you expected of us, but on the moral and ethical point it was not the right direction.
We made a first collection in 2014 , we brought out a lot of sweaters, when we didn't need them. And above all we bought our sweaters too expensive so we sold them expensive , in fact they were worth between 60 and 90 euros.
This situation was inconsistent for us, which is why in 2016 Emmanuel Gabia at the age of 16 created Elmanos Studio.
WHY WE DO THIS?
We all know these have been happening for years that the textile industry overproduces.
The clothes are produced far from home, we overconsume worse the first year half of what we buy is thrown away!
Our movement is to review this vision of fashion which is often biased and not true.Since 2018 about 850 billion clothes have been produced, a little less than all of them were intended for the big lobbies to end up on sale or piled up in the unsold. That's why we strive to produce useful parts.
AN INDUSTRY THAT PRODUCES DIFFERENTLY.
AN INDUSTRY IN TRANSITION.
We are increasingly on the move and to do so we want to know where the raw materials for our clothes come from and who takes care of their transformation.
OUR ACTION PLAN:
Our goal is to make ourselves useful by giving more meaning to your clothes . To do so, we are here to serve you.
Now to know what you want, we appeal to you by communicating through questionnaires the ultimate product on all points.
The design, the colors all this is decided by you!
You know what's right for you, we're here to structure and polish the ultimate product.
AFTER THE QUESTIONNAIRE PLACE FOR ACTION
The production :
- Our team of designers creates the garment taking into account the answers you provide to us.
- Our production team is in charge of finding the right material, that is to say resistant, comfortable, and beautiful to the touch.
- Finally our pattern maker finds the perfect fit by running several prototype tests to arrive at the ultimate product.
OUR COLLECTIONS HAVE FIVE PIECES OR LESS AND ARE PRE-ORDERED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF OUR HOODIES OR T-SHIRTS
We prefer to concentrate on a single or five products than to spread the effort over a collection and release a lot of average products. However all of our products are available online.
Timelessness. We often wonder if our product will put you to shame in a family photo.
In fact, in order not to over-consume, you have to be satisfied.
OUR PRODUCERS
Our textile suppliers and manufacturers must follow the code of ethics that we impose on ourselves. To know if they are in agreement, a multitude of questions are asked upstream before any collaboration thanks to this we know if they are in the same quality approach as us.
Then we work with them by visiting them during these visits we carry out interviews or video to know how our products are made.
FINALLY THE FINAL MOVEMENT THE PRE-ORDER
What does pre-order mean? We focus on pre-order models so only requested parts are made. This helps us limit waste while ensuring that what you order is exactly what you want.
This is beneficial for everyone because there is no stock, no sales and therefore no unsold products.
However we produce 20% of stock to have the possibility of changing the sizes.
