My wife and I like making something on vacation so for our trip to Florence, picked this workshop and learned a lot from the team at Garbage’en! They were very patient as we started with pieces of leather and eventually turned them into a purse and a passport case! Something different to do between all the eating and sightseeing!
Unique experience that isn’t offered in other areas. You get to choose materials to make your own wallet. There are different styles to choose from and different sizes. Our teacher/host was encouraging but informative. You could tell she has been processing leather supplies for awhile based on her skill. I would go back again just to make something else. Try it out!
Amazing experience… Was one of the highlights of our trip. Instructor and shop owner was friendly, personable, professional, and made the experience all that it was. Would highly recommend.
Julia was great. We had a good time and made great wallets. Wonderful handmade leather workshop in Florence, Italy. Skilled artisan, unforgettable! Loved it!!!!!
Lots of fun for my wife, daughter, and me. Lots of options and was easy to do with their help.
The ladies are amazing and very talented- Sandra ( the owner), Sarina and Julia! All of them were patient and attentive. Sandra worked hands on with us as she guided us through the process of creating our own handcrafted leather wallets. The energy in the shop was amazing, it felt like be welcomed in by family. We would definitely do it again! Thank you for making this activity memorable for us (mother and daughter). I can’t tell you how much we enjoyed this activity!!!! 10/10!!
Me and my husband visit Florence again to celebrate our 10th anniversary, so we are looking for some less ordinary experience and we are glad to have joined this workshop. We get to choose leathers coming from luxury brands, so the quality is really good. The wallets are easy to make and we are very well guided. The place is close to the city centre and is easy to find. Plenty good food in the surroundings as well.
What an amazing and fun activity! Julia and Sandra were patient and hands on teachers through each step. You can choose from many patterns to various sizes. If you are looking for something different but memorable sign up! Tip too there is an amazing gelato place directly across from it😂.
Serena was extremely patient and very open to every suggestion I had to make my wallet “mine”. I learned a lot and now have a truly unique souvenir from Florence.
This was such a unique and amazing experience. You also make something to take home as opposed to just purchasing it. The owner was friendly and helpful. It was a great reminder that beauty is in the imperfections.
