Claire Choffel, leather craftswoman, invites you to her workshop in the Hautes Vosges for an introduction to leatherwork. During the two-hour workshop, you will learn how to make your own leather bag handle.
With passion and kindness, Claire will share her know-how and will accompany you in the realization of a unique piece: a handle composed of 22 leather links, 2 snap hooks and an adjustment element.
For a personalized piece, you will choose your leather color before the workshop. On the day of the workshop, the links will be pre-cut for you. With the artist’s advice, you will learn about the materials and assembly techniques to make your leather bag handle step by step. And of course, at the end of the workshop, you will leave with your unique creation! To be proudly displayed!

Claire Choffel, atelier du cuir
My leather workshop is located in the HAUTES VOSGES, on the hillside, where I practice my knowledge of Bottière-Maroquinière through unique pieces of leather and recycled textiles of high quality. My fashion creations are androgynous and atypical, they exist under the name of a French trademark registered in 2009, "KLAIR with a K" and I also propose decorative elements, leather painting, ...
