The Faux Leather Boutique
Cut, shape, wear — your faux-leather accessories, made by hand.
Level: beginner
Ages: 12 and up
Craft your own stylish faux-leather accessories from the ground up, using professional cutting dies and hardware to cut, punch, and press each piece by hand. Run your fingers over a pebbled grain, a glossy shine, a flash of glitter caught in the light — every faux-leather finish has its own feel, and part of the fun is discovering how it creases, stamps, and cuts under your hands.
You will have options from a curated range of colours, textures, glitter, and patterns, then mix and match to build a set that’s unmistakably yours. Layer by layer, cut by cut, raw material becomes something you’ll actually wear.
Build your set — pick a combination from
- Bracelet + pair of earrings + keychain
- 2 bracelets + keychain
- Bracelet + 2 keychains

Ideal for ages 12 and up and adults, this workshop is perfect whether you’re new to faux-leather crafting or looking to refine your skills. With a maximum of 5 participants, you’ll receive plenty of guidance and enjoy a highly personalized, hands-on experience.
