Hi this’s a wonderful idea. 1. The difference between cheaper leather products and expensive leather products. 2. The difference between cheap hardware and expensive hardware. 3.

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.

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.
