No specialist tools or prior experience required.

The Process

This DIY Bag Kit is ideal for ALL - from total beginners to confident makers - you CAN make your own luxury leather bag at home.

This is a perfect introductory DIY Kit to start your journey into leather work and bag making and arrives complete with everything you need to make your own luxury leather bag at home. 

Have fun learning the basics of leather craft (for accessories), with introduction to techniques including: application of wax and edge finishing, screw rivets, hand stitching on leather, and bag construction. Simply follow the included step-by-step instructions to craft your own cross body satchel bag. And, most importantly, enjoy the process. 

Inside your kit, you will find pre-cut leather pieces which require you to finish with a wax (included). You will rivet and sew the leather to complete your satchel. 

If you have a small flat head screwdriver, this will be helpful, although it is not essential.

To make the kit suitable for home construction, some work has been done for you. Don’t worry though, there is still plenty left for you to turn your creative energy to. 

The Bag

The satchel bag has a flap and buckle closure and one long adjustable cross body strap. It is a raw edge construction to give a boxy look and completed in a buttery soft vegetable-tanned leather which results in a supple yet structured piece. 

The bag is unlined meaning you can enjoy the natural grain and quality of this beautiful Tuscan leather. 

The size ensures ample space for all your essentials.

The dimensions of the small satchel are H 190mm x W 245mm x D 90mm, and it will be the same construction as the bag in the product photos.
