Fri 30th Sep 2022 12:00pm-5:30pm & Sat 1st Oct 2022 12:00pm-5:30pm

~ this workshop will proceed with covid-safe class sizes and a covid safe plan in place with a minimum of 4 students required to run the classes, and maximum of 8 students. if for any reason we need to cancel this workshop, your ticket will be 100% refunded or credited.

 

Make your own Elevation Tote in our Brunswick based atelier where you will be guided through the steps by Simone in small class sizes. All materials and tools are provided. 

Simone exclusively uses vegetable tanned kangaroo leather [tanned with plants vs chemicals], which is considered to be the most eco-friendly & humane source of leather available today. Read more on this here. Vegetable tanned leather will age with you, adding uniqueness to the finished piece as you use it, telling a story of who you are as time goes on. Simone believes that adding sentiment to products is what encourages people cherish them for longer, keeping things out of landfill and hopefully passed onto loved ones.

There's more to learn about sustainability in fashion and consuming leather products, all of which you'll hear about in the workshops.
