ABOUT OUR BESPOKE HANDBAG, ACCESSORY AND SOFT FURNISHING SERVICES
We work with small businesses, startups, aspiring designers and students at different stages of their projects.
We can help from the development of an idea to the production phase, going through all the steps in between.
Our clients have different levels of experience so don’t worry if you don’t have the technical knowledge or drawing skills, we are here to help.
All of the following services can be provided either in person at our studio or remotely.
Here are our services in detail:
DESIGN CONSULTANCY AND DEVELOPMENT
Depending on how complete your project is, this is a service that you might need if help is necessary for defining any unclear aspects.
We can help with either a single design or develop a cohesive and complete collection of handbags, accessories or soft furnishings.
During our meetings, we will listen to your objectives, discuss your ideas and support you through every stage of your creative project.
We will explain how to deal with aspects of designing such as understanding product construction, creating a mood board, choosing the right materials, defining a colour palette, calculating cost price and mark up for your designs and more.
SKETCHING AND ILLUSTRATION
We can help translate your ideas into sketches and illustrations, so that you can have a visual and clear representation of your project.
The basic purpose of sketches and illustrations is communication. They express the mood of the collection/item as well as the general specifications of each product, showing how the final product(s) will eventually look.
CAD drawings are digital technical drawings showing the product from different sides to display its shape, seams, fittings, and any other design details.
Technical drawings are essential to guarantee clear communication between all parties working on your project, to avoid mistakes and wasting time, money and resources.
Tech packs contain the CAD drawing plus detailed technical information of each product such as dimensions, materials, fittings, types of finishing, types of thread, etc.
They are essential documents which contain all the relevant pieces of information for the customer to be able to communicate smoothly with sample makers and manufacturers.

I had a brilliant two days at the London Leather workshop, being taught by Sara. Her teaching was excellent, the resources and materials were first rate and the atmosphere was really welcoming. I am delighted with the bag I made and will definitely be returning for more. I would warmly recommend the workshop to anyone interested in learning about leather craft.

I recently attended the 2-day Learn Professional Leather Craft Skills, Leather Sewing and Construction Techniques course. It was an amazing experience. Sara was our instructor and she explained each step clearly, making it really easy to follow along. I loved that the class was very hands-on, and I came away with new skills and a finished piece I’m really proud of. The atmosphere was friendly, supportive, and fun, which made learning even more enjoyable. I’d highly recommend this workshop to anyone curious about leathercraft or looking to try something new and creative!

Sara was our primary instructor for the Leathercraft skills course and it was an excellent experience. She explained all concepts clearly for beginners, and helped us build practical skills. She is a great instructor, patient and knowledgeable, and she shares tidbits and lessons from her years as a leather crafts expert. I am now excited to take another class and learn more about working with leather!
