Learn to make a leather wallet from scratch
Spend an afternoon learning hand-stitching skills straight from our leathersmith in this leather wallet workshop. The same skills you'll use to cut, shape, and sew this wallet are ones you can take home and use on your next leather project, whether that's a belt, a bag, or whatever you dream up next.
No experience is needed, just a willingness to try something new and see where your hands take it. We supply premium leather and all the required tools, and a leathersmith will walk you through the basics of the craft step by step. You'll leave with a wallet that carries a little of your own creativity in every stitch — something to use, not just admire.
