One-day Individual Workshop: Make Your Own Leather Handbag
I create stylish leather accessories, hand-sewn by myself, and I would love to share my experience with you, my friends.
Sign up for a unique individual workshop where I will visit you at your home, and together, we will make your own leather handbag. We will go through the entire process, from selecting the material to the finished product.
I will also show you how to set up your own online store, how to take and edit product photos with ease and style, and explore ways to sell your products beyond craft fairs. You will gain valuable advice on where to get supplies or tools and many other tips I've gathered over the years.
In the photo gallery, you can see the leather handbag we will create together.
