Description
Craft your own leather wallet in Florence with real local artisans by joining a small-group, authentic, hands-on experience.
This is a fully hands-on workshop where each participant crafts their own leather wallet from start to finish.
Step into a real working artisan studio in the heart of Florence — not a tourist classroom, but an authentic space where leather craftsmanship happens every day.
During this hands-on workshop, you will create your own leather wallet from start to finish, guided step by step by local Florentine artisans and designers. From selecting the leather to assembling and finishing your piece, you will experience the true process behind Italian leather craftsmanship.
Choose your leather, colors, stitching, and details to design a wallet that reflects your personal style. We work with premium Italian and high-quality deadstock leathers sourced from leading fashion houses — sustainable materials given new life through artisanal skill.
The experience takes place in a small group (maximum 4 participants) to ensure personal attention and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. No experience is required — this workshop is perfect for families, couples, friends, and solo travelers.
At the end, you won’t leave with a generic souvenir, but with a handmade leather wallet created by you in a true Florentine atelier — a meaningful piece that carries the story of your time in Florence.
Spots are limited to maintain quality and personal guidance.
