Guests are able to choose from brown or black leather and gold or silver hardware. Each handbag includes a customized leather tag featuring the name of the person who crafted it and/or the name of the person for whom it was made as a gift.
Guests can arrive as individuals, couples, or groups (up to 12). Whether for team building, birthdays, date nights, or personal fun for fashion enthusiasts - a workshop at our studio will be a unique crafting experience you won't soon forget.
