Leather Craft Workshop - Create Your Own Mini Wallet in Verona

You’ll be welcomed into a space where leather is still cut, punched, and stitched using traditional tools and time-honored techniques. Guided by the local leatherworker, you’ll create your own mini wallet — a practical and personal item you can take home with you. But before your hands get to work, you’ll get a glimpse into the deep roots of this ancient craft. In the Middle Ages, leather was used for everyday objects like coin pouches, work aprons, sword sheaths, and even wallets. You’ll learn how leather was tanned and the unique properties, making it suitable for everything from soft clothing to rigid armor. With the support of your guide, you’ll select your leather, trace and cut the pattern, punch the stitching holes, and slowly bring your wallet to life using hand tools. You’ll also learn about stitching methods — including those once used for medieval pouches — and you’ll finish your piece by adding small personal touches. No previous experience is needed.

Cut, punch, and shape your own leather mini wallet from start to finish, guided step by step by a local artisan in a real craft studio. Learn the traditional techniques used for centuries, enjoy the satisfaction of working with your hands, and take home a one-of-a-kind piece made entirely by you — a lasting memory of your time in Verona.
