Fashion-lover's MUST DO experience!! - This experience was truly a highlight of our trip to Paris! Sewing our one-of-a-kind upcycled bags was such a special and unique memory, We will think this workshop fondly each time we carry our conversation-piece bags.
The staff was knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. The workshop is spacious, well-appointed, and filled with a variety of high-quality options. The design space is set up so that many can work simultaneously and safely. The storefront is colorful and well-stocked with awe-inspiring with samples.
This workshop is very well-run. They really helped guide us through the process. We anticipated a high price-tag after our various add-ons and upgrades, but the final products were quite reasonable.
From picking out designer fabric to sewing with the prepared patterns to hammering the hardware in place to picking out the straps & embellishments, this was a hands-on activity that epitomized Parisian fashion and personal creativity!

It was just great, we will be back next year ! - It was such a great experience, we are still raving about it now. The bags have become beautiful and worth every penny. It's a lot of fun and you get a lot of help (if you want) from competent and friendly staff. You can design every detail of the bag yourself. The boutique itself is an experience.

An exceptional activity in Paris - An unforgettable experience to participate in the tailor-making process of a bag. The team is very helpful all the way. Some overrun is expected so set a relax schedule like around 4 hours for the afternoon class will make the entire experience enjoyable than stressful. The price sheet provided is clear enough to help you to estimate the extra cost may be expected on the top of the advance payment. Thanks to the Morgan & Alex, I have a unique made-in-Paris handbag & love it!

Fun, Unique Experience! - Morgan was the BEST guide and Alex did a wonderful job sewing up the bag. I will say It is easy to go over the $165 quickly so you definitely want to pay attention to your selections if you are trying to stay in a budget. It was truly a one of a kind experience and I LOVE my bag.

Fantastic - Amazing experience. Odélia, our teacher, was unbelievably patient and enthusiastic. A bit more expensive than expected but we had the best time. Absolutely no regrets.

Happy with the finished project but took a long time - Fun activity but the group was too large and we ended up being there for almost 5 hours (we were the first of our group to leave). There wasn’t adequate space for a large group to choose fabrics, cut or steam. And not enough employees to get good instruction and help with the project there was a lot of standing around and waiting). Multiple projects (hat making, purse making and jean jacket design) were taking place at once in a tight space. This experience took a good portion of our day leaving little time for any other activities.

Be careful - Took my sister here for her bday. The experience was ok. They put my sisters purse together wrong and wanted to charge her for a whole other purchase so after attempting to fix it failed she left with purse she paid for.

Disappointing and very expensive - Hello,
I participated with two of my friends in a bag-making workshop. To do this, we had booked a €145 session (it is actually a deposit. You will have to hand over money to create your bag)
Cons:
- too many participants in the workshop (they told us that not everyone will be able to leave with their bags packed at the end of the session)
- all the briefing was done in English (even if I don't speak English)
- the world did not allow us to actually create our bag ourselves. ( we were only able to cut and glue the fabrics
- unprofessionalism, on the part of the store managers (the managers demeaned one of their employees in front of us, tried to make us pay shipping costs and were not clear on the pricing)
- the pricing, the price will depend on the fabric, choose pieces cut from the fabric, the warp, the lining....(of course, it only tells you the price per piece and not the overall price)
Pros:
-Couturiers, very kind who know their work
Conclusion: I felt scammed and would not recommend this activity
Regards

cardboard bag and fabrics at 350 euros SCAM - I received for my birthday a gift card from Minimiland to create her handbag.
I arrive very happy but the cold shower arrives quite empty.
The voucher is 149 euros but very quickly we are told that the bag will be much more expensive because the fabrics offered cost an arm and obviously that the red color (less expensive) is out of order.
In the end, I paid 200 euros extra for a bag that I only cut because the sewing machines are not available. My daughter who gave me the gift was very disappointed and so was I.
To summarize, prepare the CB if you go to this shop.
349 euros TOO EXPENSIVE FOR A FABRIC AND CARDBOARD BAG
Friendly staff except the boss at the checkout, not friendly at all!!! SCAM TO AVOID

A scam... - I'm not used to making bad comments, but now I think it's necessary to warn people...
I gave 1 gift voucher to my wife and daughter for this afternoon.
I was very surprised when my wife told me that she had to add 555 euros to come back with their bags!!!!
Be careful because the gift voucher of 145 euros will not cover the entire bag!!!
At the beginning of the workshop, they don’t specify to people coming with a gift voucher that at the end you will have to add the price of each item!
Moreover, during the making of the bag, they only cut the fabric!
The gift voucher costs 145 euros at the start to finish at 400 euros!!!
In short, from my point of view, it is pure scam!! The only positives are: the bag is beautiful/original and the designers are nice
