1-Day Bagmaking Workshop: Nerrisa and Lauren 🌟

Nerrisa and Lauren joined me in my little London studio for a 1-day bagmaking workshop 🌟

During this workshop, all students make the same zip-up shoulder bag but they are welcome to put their own personal touches on it like decorative chains and keyrings. Students are also welcome to bring their own lining fabric if they have some they wish to use! The leather for the shoulder bag is provided from our extensive leather stash - as well as gold or silver hardware ✨

Nerrisa got in touch beforehand to check whether she could bring her own Vivienne Westwood leather along to the workshop. As Nerrisa had used this leather in other bagmaking projects, we were sure it would be a great choice for this shoulder bag so we encouraged her to bring it along 🤩

Watch below for a little snippet of the 1-day bagmaking workshop with Nerrisa and Lauren:

Soooo... a little bit more about the workshop.

Lauren made this gorgeous silver leather handbag with a leather strap and additional chain. The chain can either be pulled up alongside the leather strap and be used as a strap, or it can be left hanging as a decorative chain.

Lauren lined her bag with this gorgeous herringbone fabric and made a little silver leather trim for her inside pocket. Of course, to match the silver of the bag, Lauren chose to use silver hardware for her zip, chain, rivets and d-rings ⭐️

Nerrisa brought her own Vivienne Westwood leather with her which she was saving for the perfect project and made this gorgeous leather handbag with gold hardware and chain strap 🤩 The leather was a little on the soft side so we backed it with another leather to give it a bit more structure.

Nerrisa chose to do a contrasting brown based for her bag and made a brown leather trim for the inside pocket. I think the contrasting leather totally elevates the bag and makes it look and feel so luxury!

During this workshop you'll have time to make a zip-up shoulder bag. It's the perfect day-to-night bag and is fully lined 😉

You'll be able to select your leather from a whole range of options and can even BYO lining so you can totally personalise your bag!
