Build a Bag: make a bespoke leather bag in three hours
We invited seven journalists to our workshops to create a bespoke bag in just three hours. The full team of craftsmen and designers were involved, firstly helping to put the components together then in its construction. This was a great opportunity for me to share in the processes behind crafting unique designs and by inviting these key titles to build their very own unique version of the classic Bill Amberg Selvage Tug we hope to give a little glimpse of how it all works – and how much fun it is!
We liked their bags so much that we’ve decide to carry on producing them and they will be available for sale in our stores and online.
- 10% of each bag sold will go to Molly’s Fund part of The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery Development Foundation (for further information please call 020 7829 8724)
- Each bag will retail from £165 – view the full collection here
