LEARN PROFESSIONAL BAG MAKING TECHNIQUES, AT YOUR OWN PACE. BE A PART OF A COMMUNITY FULL OF PEOPLE WHO LOVE ALL THINGS BAG MAKING!

Meet the Flower Bag, a fun bag with unique, never-seen-before construction techniques.

The Flower Bag is a stylish semi-structured round bag that closes with a zipper. It can be worn as a handbag, but we will also include d-rings so you can add a crossbody strap option later.

Its design is as whimsical and fun as they come! It features leather flower petals and pistil, that provide the perfect canvas for using different colors and materials.

The inside is fully-lined, and this bag has never-seen before construction techniques. It is not difficult, just simply genius in how it all comes together!

By the end of the course, you'll have a beautifully crafted leather handbag that’s not only functional but also a true work of art.

Although the bag will be constructed in leather, this bag is also faux leather friendly.

Perfect for carrying your essentials or as a statement piece in your wardrobe, your new bag will showcase your creativity and newfound leather working skills.

We will be using soft leathers that don't require any skiving, so this is the perfect opportunity for you to dabble in the world of leather working.

This online class will be taught over the course of a few weeks. The content is 100% pre-recorded, so you can follow at your own pace and watch the edited videos as much as you would like. The content is presented in a very organized, easy to follow manner. In addition, we will also have 2 lives on Zoom, to ask questions, keep everyone accountable and foster a strong sense of community.

Finished dimensions:

Handbag: 7" (w) x7" (h) x 5" (d)

Handle drop: 3" as a handbag
