This workshop is one of a kind. In guidance of leathercraft artist Maria Nesterenko, creator of IGLÀ you will make leather bag Giannis using materials provided and your own hands. You will get unique experience how it is constructed and sewn together. You will learn a new skill and design your own original handmade bag.

Step by step

The shape of Giannis bag is original, it`s geometrical and minimalistic and it`s created right here in Estonia, Tallinn by IGLÀ.

We use premium quality Italian leather to make our bags in IGLÀ studio. Same quality leather in color matte black is provided in workshop to make your bag.

Highlight of the workshop is that you will learn saddle stitching technique – ancient Italian tradition of leather craftmanship. Saddle stitched seam can last a lifetime when done well and is easily repairable. To create Giannis bag it is sewn together by hand, using two needles, strong thread and skill of saddle-stitching. You will get this valuable experience to be able to do it yourself and treasure a new skill.

You can design the final look your own bag after sewing it together. It is possible to add your name, initials etc on the leather if you wish. You can choose between silver or gold studs or add some fringed leather details.
