How it works: EASY AND UNCOMPLICATED

Your style is as individual as you are. It goes without saying that you don't want to top off your outfit with just any handbag. At BAGS & PIECES, you get everything you need to make your stylish leather goodie in a box. You don't need any additional materials or tools. You don't have to be a DIY pro to make them. The main thing is that you want to get creative. Our boxes are designed in such a way that the result always looks high-quality - and you can proudly show off your new favorite bag: 

I made this myself! 

Step 1: Your selection

Choose your DIY box from various bag models and other accessories and get started in leather craftsmanship. You can choose from different leathers for all accessories and make your accessory unique with additional customizations such as different carrying options or ornaments. The configurator will show you your individual choice in advance.

Step 2: Personalize your leather accessory

Your DIY bag or any other leather accessory becomes even more individual with personalization. Choose from embossing (blind embossing or foil stamping), which we apply for you during production, or use the trapunto technique to give your accessory a special statement with large shapes or letters.

Step 3: Unboxing time!

After we have made your DIY box to order in our production facility near Kaiserslautern and packed your individual configuration, you will receive your DIY box at home. It contains everything you need to make your new leather accessory.

The leather parts of the bags are already cut to size and provided with seam holes so that you can start gluing, sewing and edge finishing straight away.

Step 4: Production begins

With the video tutorials and our basic guide, you will learn the basics of leather craftsmanship: gluing, sewing and edge processing.

You can then apply these to your special leather accessory with the help of the detailed step-by-step instructions. All steps and techniques are specially designed for beginners.

Step 5: The saddlery seam

With the traditional saddler's seam, you sew your leather accessory together by hand, which guarantees a high-quality and long-lasting result. As the leather parts are already provided with seam holes, no special tools or machines are required.

After some time, you will see how your leather accessory takes shape.

100% handmade, made by you.

Step 6: Finish the edges

Seal the open leather edges with edge paint to give your leather accessory a professional finish and protect it from moisture. The paint is applied in several layers and sanded in between to ensure greater durability. The applicator, sanding sponge and the color that matches the leather are included in your DIY box.

Step 7: Your finished leather accessory - made by you!

You've done it! Your individual and handmade leather accessory is finished - and ready to wear or give as a gift.

You can proudly say: I made this myself! And that was just the beginning!
