Leather Backpack Workshop Rust-en-Vrede

Join Us to Craft Your Own Leather Backpack

I invite you to be a part of this hands-on experience, where you will learn to make your own leather backpack. Traditionally stitched from sustainably sourced game hides, and crafted with the highest quality materials and tools, this backpack is designed to last for generations. No more fast fashion— the world is asking us to stand up and create our own belongings in the most sustainable way possible. Made to last, with the appreciation we should have for our things, this is a chance to infuse your creation with your time, love, and energy.

How we carry our most prized and necessary survival objects has been a human effort since the dawn of time. From a plastic bag or a sack swinging on the end of a stick to the most beautifully adorned rucksacks, filled with character both inside and out, we have all felt the need to have something that contains our lives.
