Handmade bags course in Florence
This is a professional, long-term leather-working course (108 hours in 12 weeks). Each trainee, personally followed by the master-craftsman himself, acquires skills in leather-working through the creation of a specific article, normally a bag, entirely by hand and without a sewing machine. Trainees use only traditional craft tools – cobblers’ knives, awls, needle and thread, performing all stages of cutting, piercing, making up and hand-sewing the different strips and trimmings, in the process developing their manual abilities to match their own personal creativity. At the end of the course they will be able to make their own personally designed bag. All materials are included. Courses start every Monday (except during August).
Our artisan workshop “bottega” in Florence is characterized by is the care and attention with which staff members treat each and every course participant, coping with their needs and trying to satisfy their expectations. The atmosphere is cheerful and informal. The workshop is located in the historic centre of Florence.

It was a very good experience for me to study in Florence City. My training course had completed last Friday(19th May).
It was very nice to have a professional training in Dimitri’s work-shop for myself. I am really thankful to have such a chance to work with him, not only by his enthusiastic in his field and teaching; also, by the inspiration from himself and the work-shop. Once again, I am very appreaciated by his consideration to the students.
Thanks,
Jack
