Les Ateliers Auguste

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I just received my Mini Marly in Off-White, and I couldn’t be happier! The craftsmanship, color, and overall design are absolutely stunning and elegant and yet simple, in the best “less is more” way. I now understand why so many people rave about this brand. I’m excited to carry my bag on upcoming travels and to start building a collection. Highly recommend!

I discovered the brand online and visited the boutique during my trip to Paris — such a great experience! The team was super kind and helpful, and I found the perfect bag. Amazing quality and craftsmanship, I’ll be wearing it all the time!

My sister has a solid knowledge of Parisian purse shops; I am appreciative of nice purses but know nothing. We went to Ateliers August on October 28, 2025, and were greeted warmly by Ajithra and Clara, who helped us with great charm and in-depth knowledge of their products. Both women spoke fluent English, which was appreciated, and we were offered water while shopping. I ended up with the Monceau silver edition in red lizard. My late aunt LOVED purses and loved the colour red - I had been to Paris once before 30 years ago - and I swear I heard her tell me to buy that purse! Anything over 100 euros qualifies you for the VAT refund, and they did the necessary paperwork, as well as giving us clear instructions on how to process it. (Very easy, you literally just scan the code at the airport at the VAT machines and get your money within a week or so). This was a fabulous shopping event for me - what is more "trip to Paris" than buying a gorgeous purse? Highly recommended for quality of product, and service excellence. PS They had some summer purses for sale with a 30% discount. PPS Customs did not charge duty for some miraculous reason. Wheee!

My dad got me a bag from this business for my birthday. I chose this brand after a long time of research. The leather and hardware quality is top and I liked the design of the bag, minimal, clean and versatile. I would prefer to avoid brands such as Gucci, LV or anything part of the LVMH or Kering group as the prices are not justifiable and I just don’t trust these big conglomerates. I’d like to say I’m more of a conscious shopper. I’d rather support independent businesses. I did buy it online, the service was really good. I received my bag literally 3 days after ordering it. Super efficient. The only thing I would say is that I wish the bag was designed so that the leather strap could be switched with a chain to make it that much more versatile and dressy. 10/10 would recommend.

A wonderful local business owned by two brothers selling beautiful leatherwork - bags and accessories. I purchased a fabulous cross body bag. The shop is lovely and you can take your time to browse. The leather is great quality. Something special to remember my time in Paris.

I want to express my gratitude to the brand store for their high level of service and customer focus. Recently, my girlfriend encountered an unpleasant situation: the coating on the clasp of her favorite handbag started to peel off. Upon contacting the store, we were pleasantly surprised. The staff accepted the bag for service without any questions. The clasp was replaced very quickly and efficiently on the very same day. Thank you so much for your speed and professionalism!

So…beautiful bag more than that I expected. The leather material and stitching are excellent. I would love to buy another color again!

Visited the shop 3 weeks ago on my last trip to Paris and purchased my first bag from this brand. There were 3 girls working and they were all super friendly and helpful which made for a great shopping experience!

I came here 4 years ago and I still remember talking to the owner. He was so friendly. I know this review is SUPER late... but I still use the bag I bought here to this day. It's still holding up well. Hopefully when the COVID situation is resolved with the vaccine, I can come back to visit the shop again. Great customer service. Great product.
