Join our workshop and embark on a journey of discovery, where you’ll acquire new skills and gain firsthand experience in the intricate world of leatherwork. Our expert craftsman, Jack Wang will guide you through the process, sharing his knowledge and techniques honed over years of dedication.

Immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of Japan as you learn about the traditional methods and materials used in creating authentic Japanese ‘Setta’ sandals. Experience the artistry of intricate stitching and attention to detail, resulting in sandals that embrace your feet with a perfect fit and unmatched quality. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of the craftsmanship involved.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, our unisex mule loafers feature a slip-on design that combines the convenience of a mule with the timeless appeal of a loafer. The result is a shoe that effortlessly blends comfort and fashion, allowing you to make a statement wherever you go.

 

For the discerning woman, our women’s loafer design is a symphony of grace and sophistication. Designed to effortlessly transition from day to night, our loafers are the epitome of versatility. Pair them with your favourite trousers for a polished semi formal look, or dress them down with jeans for a chic and casual ensemble. The possibilities are endless, allowing you to express your personal style with confidence and flair.

In this workshop, we will be using full-grain leather, which is the highest quality of leather available. Full-grain leather is durable, strong, and has a natural patina that only gets better with age. We will be using traditional leather-working tools and techniques, such as cutting, stamping, and finishing, to craft the personal footwear that are not only stylish but also functional and long-lasting. Throughout your learning journey, you’ll have the opportunity to experiment with different techniques, tools, and embellishments, allowing you to personalize your creations and express your individuality. Our goal is to empower you to create footwear that not only reflects your artistic vision but also showcases the craftsmanship and attention to detail synonymous with our workshop.

Beyond the technical aspects, our workshop fosters a supportive and collaborative environment, where you’ll connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for leatherwork and footwear design. Exchange ideas, gain inspiration, and build lasting relationships with fellow enthusiasts and professionals alike.

Join us at our leather workshop for an immersive and enriching experience that will leave you with a profound appreciation for the art of crafting Japanese ‘Setta’ sandals, unisex mule and women’s loafer. You’ll not only walk away with a handmade leather footwear that you will love, but you’ll also customise your name on the leather craft. Embrace the joy of learning, unleash your creativity, and uncover the endless possibilities that await within the realm of leather craftsmanship.
