  • 25 R. de Turbigo - Create your own custom-made bag. I’ll guide you through the entire process to ensure you craft the personalized bag of your dreams. You’ll select the materials, such as leathers, luxury vintage scarves, tweeds from Chanel’s supplier, and many other fabrics, as well as the shape, size, and all the elements that will make up your future bag. You’ll be involved in every step of the manufacturing process with the help of professional artisans. You’ll create your bag from start to finish! No sewing skills are required! The workshop is filled with wonders, and once your bag is shaped, you can accessorize it with buttons, brooches, charms, and other embellishments.

You cannot miss this experience - It was the best experience ever! The fabrics were beautiful and the helpers facilitated making such gorgeous bags. I loved it so much that I signed up and went back the next day…I have two fabulous purses. I would definitely recommend this.

It’s fun but be sure to focus - The design part - choosing the materials/fabrics. Taking my time to make sure all the patterns and colors worked together was fun for me but I also took it seriously because these are expensive materials and if you make a mistake, you have to live with what you chose. Advice: Dont’t overdo it by choosing too many fabrics! It’s expensive, so be sure.

Mimimeland Fabulousness! - This was fabulous! We had 3 generations: a grandma, mom, daughter (age 9) and we all had a fun time designing and making our own hand bags. So fun and they are so cool. Highly recommend for people of all ages!

Fabulous! - Best experience and highlight of the trip to Paris. They are so helpful and guide you through the process. The finished product is a one of a kind!! So amazing. Don’t forget to include time to shop at their store. I LOVE the new location and so many ‘pretties’. I definitely treated myself

Fun, but packed! - We loved the bags we made, but will say there were way too many people in the class. The concept is wonderful though

Not what we expected - Too many people in the workshop. Not enough instructors. Fabric was very disorganized. We thought it would be max 3 hours. Took 5 hours to do the workshop. Was never offered any food or drink. Messed up the colors on my purse, my friends purse didn’t have the right fabric and my other friends purse won’t close. I wouldn’t recommend this.

MORE EXPENSIVE + LONGER THAN YOU THINK - Ok so yes this is a fun idea and you can make a cute purse . HOWEVER we had a few things that made our experience not great. First off , note that you pay for the class but only get 145 euro credit , you have to pay the extra. I’m not sure you can make a purse with that credit… they charge for everything! Our group spent an extra 200-350 euro on top of their credit. So kindof a lot. Second they should NOT sell more than 5-7 slots as they only have a few workers who can sew. The class was supposed to be from 2-5 , we didn’t leave until 7:30pm. They have to sew all the bags so unfortunately our group was last and they took an extremely long time - some of our group missed their dinner reservation. The staff did not seem to care. They need to either bring more workers to sew (1-2 per person) or severely limit the group size or inform us before we showed up. We were completely shocked and upset we were there for over 6 HOURS! A few recommendations for the business ; 1. Pre cut the panels for us. You know the standard time - this would make this quicker 2. Stagger the group so not everyone is waiting on a seamstress - some waited 2 hours for their turn!! Maybe start part of the group at 2, then the next at 3 3. Make the class size smaller - or you need to put that this class goes 5-6 hours NOT 3 4. Have more hand sew - ers on site . There was only 1 call putting on all the buttons , patches , ect which took forever !!! Honestly this workshop truly gave us a headache it was horrible how long we were there.
