About this tour
Work with a leathercrafter in their quiet studio just beyond Hoi An's old town bustle. Over two hours, you'll handle proper tools and quality hides to fashion a finished piece you keep. The workshop sits in a peaceful garden setting, deliberately removed from the crowds—a chance to absorb techniques passed down through generations whilst producing something tangible to take home.

What to expect
You'll arrive at a peaceful garden studio away from the old town noise. Your leatherworker guide will demonstrate the fundamentals—how to measure, cut, shape, and join leather using traditional methods. You'll then work on your own project, hands-on, with guidance at each stage. The process is methodical but manageable; no prior experience needed. By the end, you'll have a finished item—perhaps a pouch, bookmark, or small accessory—made entirely by you using the same materials and techniques the craftsperson employs professionally.
Good to know
Wear clothes you don't mind getting leather dust on. The work is seated and relaxed—no heavy lifting. Infant seats available if needed. Two hours moves at a realistic pace; you won't feel rushed.
