Course Details

The Experience

Join a focused four-session course dedicated to advanced leathercraft. Guided by Elin Johansson Antonelli, you’ll work in a quiet studio setting designed for concentration, precision, and creative exploration.

Design & Personalization

Using the Basäder Classic as the foundation, design your own structured messenger-style work bag for laptops and essentials. Choose flap shape, handle, strap, closure, or optional lock details to make it uniquely yours.

The Making Process

Translate your design into a professional-grade piece through advanced pattern planning, precise cutting, assembly, and reinforcement of stress points. Stitch by hand, machine, or a combination of both, finishing each edge to a polished standard.

The Outcome

Complete a refined structured leather work bag comparable in craftsmanship to Basäder pieces valued between $650 and $1,200. You’ll master advanced techniques and gain the confidence to continue creating professional-level work.
