1- To be able make a good bag, we need to learn how the layers and padding works. A few courses on this subject will go far. 2- To be able to carry a bag we need to have a good strap. Leather strap or webbing. How to make them. That’s another crucial course 3- This one is fun. A course about what distinguishes a good leatherwork from an average one. I know this is subjective but when you walk in Rue Saint-Honoré in Paris things are less subjective and more defined.

Oh also setting up the bell skiver and skiving techniques for skiving the expensive leather and exotic products so that we can reduce wastage of our expensive products. Thank you 😊.

I totally agree with you Alex and Robby. Peter/Julien's courses are more than recommendable and of an extraordinary quality! And if you have the opportunity to take a class in person, don't hesitate because you won't regret it. Quality, sharing, humility and benevolence are definitely their trademarks.

@Alex Dorandish I hope to see them in Den Haag in August

You 2 Julien

Alex - looking at your bags - they are really nice. Can i ask you where you got your hardware from ? Does it have your name on it ? That is so cool !!

I use an atom which they don’t produce anymore. I recommend camoga or fortuna if you want to make an investment. These are great machines and well worth the money. Cheap machines can just be a headache and frustrating because your can’t get the results like with the good machines. You can also find used or vintage machines that can be refurbished. These old machines can be really great! You also have to decide if you want suction or just the off-cuts fall onto the floor or a tray. I have suction and I think it’s a nice luxury to have if you are working a lot on the skiver.
