Description
Join a leather personalization workshop in the Medina of Tunis. Learn from a master bookbinder and gilder, and stamp your initials, name, or a meaningful word onto your leather item.
Step into one of the Medina's most extraordinary workshops and personalize your own leather item with real gold leaf, guided by a master bookbinder using century-old traditional tools.
Hidden in the heart of the Medina of Tunis, lies one of the city's most extraordinary and untold places — the workshop of a master bookbinder and gilder, where centuries-old techniques are still practiced every single day.
In this unique 30-minute experience, sit alongside the master artisan and use traditional heated metal type and authentic gilding tools passed down through generations. Stamp your initials, your name, or a meaningful word onto your own leather item — in the typography of your choice, in Arabic or Latin, and in the size that suits you.
The result is something no shop can sell you — a leather item personalized by your own hands, using a craft that has existed for centuries and is rarely seen by visitors to Tunis.
Take home the perfect personalized keepsake or an unforgettable gift for someone you love.
