about us

My name is Manuela Sierra and I am the founder and designer of Manu Studio.

Manu Studio originally started as One by Manu in 2020 at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. One day out of pure boredom, I grabbed my mothers sewing machine from the 1990's and decided to up-cycle thrifted items I previously purchased. Immediately, something I had started for fun became into a passion and I began to sell the up-cycled pieces online. 
Fashion is a way of expression for me, I love to be able to decide what goes on my body. To choose how I dress depending on my mood of the day, without any restrictions or worries of what others may think. 
I want people who buy my products to feel the same. I want the pieces that they wear to inspire their true expression, to wear my pieces in their style; not to let my pieces define their style. Personal style is everything to me, especially in a world where trend cycles barely last 3 months. 
My goal is to create pieces that will last a lifetime. Pieces that can stay in your closet as you personal style evolves. 
Creativity has always been a part of me, and i'm glad I get to create beautiful pieces for you to wear. 


SUSTAINABILITY 
Manu Studio takes pride in saying that we are a sustainable and ethical small business, and even as we continue to expand, we will remain sustainable and ethical. 

- Everything is made in small batches
-Made in Medellin, Colombia by a small team of women, all heads of households.
It is a goal of mine to give back to my community! 

Our skort size chart works like this-

Mid rise shows waist measurements because the skirt lies on your waist.

Low rise shows hip measurements because skirt lies right on top of your hip bones.

For a looser and longer fit, size up. Skorts are stretchy and have an elastic waist band.
If you are not sure of your sizing please contact Manu Studio though email.
