Make a Stitchless Mini Leather Bag in a Morning

Make your own leather cross-body bag from scratch in this fun leatherwork workshop in Montpelier.

This perfectly formed structured mini bag is constructed using absolutely no stitching, sewing machines or needles! How amazing is that?! So you can have your own handmade leather bag without any prior experience needed.

Pieces are woven together with some strategically-placed rivets to keep them secure. You'll even get to choose the colour of your fully functional leather bag. The class size is limited to a maximum of 4 people to ensure you get plenty of one-to-one attention!

What to expect:

  • Learn how to use a variety of leatherwork tools to cut, punch out and finish leather
  • Learn how to set metal rivets to join leather
  • Choose from a wide selection of responsibly sourced Italian coloured leather to make your bag
  • Learn how to emboss your bag with your name or initials with a hot foiling machine or a hand stamping set
  • Tea, coffee & biscuits
