There isn't much information and review on the Ateliers Auguste brand. I saw a couple of Youtubers did a couple of reviews on it because they were "gifted" from the brand. One of Ateliers Auguste best seller bags is the Mini Monceau which look like the Celine bag but at a fraction of the price under $500.00 USD and all their bags are made in Italy. I am tempted to order the Mini Monceau in black when it is in stock. I would like to hear the wear and tear from you if you already own one or more of their bags. Is it easy to get scratch on the leather? How is the quality? Is it worth it for that price? Please share.

I have the Marly - specifically chosen over the smaller version because it has feet. I haven't scratched it yet, but I do baby my bags...
As for the Mini Monceau, I bought it and returned it immediately, because it had a really unpleasant odor. It was the lizard leather version so I'm sure the smell was from whatever chemicals they use to make the embossing and shouldn't be there on the box leather bags as my Marly doesn't reek like that.
Hi, I just received the Mini Monceau Gold edition, but am thinking of returning it to get the Mini Marly Gold edition instead. For returns, did you have to pay for the return yourself? How much did it cost and was it a hassle? Thanks.
