Studio Sessions 1: Design and Make the Essential Small Leather Bag

• 2 sessions | 3 hours each
• Ideal for beginners and intermediate makers
• Craft a timeless small bag with your choice of size: clutch or compact crossbody
• Learn pattern prep, hand or machine stitching, edge finishing, and hardware installation
• Personalize your design with your choice of flap shape, strap style, and closure

Spend two focused mornings immersed in the craft of leatherwork. Guided by Elin Johansson Antonelli, you’ll work in an intimate studio surrounded by fine materials and inspiring conversation.

Start with a timeless base pattern offered in two sizes. Choose between a minimalist clutch or a compact crossbody and customize your flap shape, strap or handle style, closure, and hardware to reflect your own taste.

Learn to cut, glue, bevel, stitch by hand or on the industrial sewing machine, burnish edges, and install hardware using minimal equipment and precise, simple methods.

Leave with a beautifully finished small leather bag crafted and detailed by you. You’ll gain both a functional piece and the confidence to keep designing and creating.
