The Course

The leather bag making course in Florence covers every step of the process, from pattern making to assembling. Through continous, hands-on practice, students will learn how to design, create and refine various types of bags, such as clutch bags, saddle bags, totes, satchels and bucket bags. The course aims to nurture students’ creativity, technical abilities, and entrepreneurial mindset, preparing them for a successful career in the field of bag making or for launching their own brand.

The Partner

Founded in 1949 by the Franciscan friars of Santa Croce and the Gori and Casini families, Scuola del Cuoio began by offering leather working classes to war orphans. Since then, it has upheld fine leather craftsmanship for over 70 years, producing bespoke leather goods for a global clientele.

Located in Florence and managed by the Gori family, Scuola del Cuoio preserves Florentine leather artistry like no other leather school.

Final Collection

Students will conceive, design, and create a capsule collection of bags that reflects their individual style and vision, starting from their moodboards and sketches. This project offers the opportunity to apply all the crafting techniques and skills acquired to an original personal creation, exploring various materials, experimenting with different techniques, and considering aesthetics, functionality, and branding.
