DIY kit: The Happy Shrimp

Our DIY box is designed so that you can make your leather accessory without any prior knowledge of leather crafts. All the materials you need are included in the DIY box, so you don't have to buy anything extra. 

The highlight of our DIY boxes:

The parts are already cut and provided with holes for sewing. This way we can guarantee that everything fits together perfectly and you can sew the bag by hand without any effort. For the metal accessories, we also make sure that we only use parts that can be attached without special machines and are still securely fastened.

As soon as you have put together your DIY box, you will receive an email from us with the order confirmation and access to the instructions and basic videos. You can then watch these in advance or when your DIY box arrives. And then you can get started! 

Our clear answer: YES! 

Why are we so sure about this?

Because over 7,000 people have already sewn one of our DIY boxes and over 92% of our customers have never worked with leather before or have only completed small craft projects. Because the leather craft techniques of gluing, sewing and edgebanding are always repeated and we have created detailed explanatory videos for all three topics, you will have learned everything you need to make your leather accessory in just a few minutes. 

What's more, the leather parts are already cut to size and provided with seam holes. So technically speaking, there is only one sensible way to fit the parts together. Of course, we have also explained this with photos and text in our step-by-step instructions. 

If, contrary to expectations, you do have any questions, our popular and highly rated customer support team will be happy to help you. You can reach us from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. via email at [email protected].

An important note: 

This DIY project is perfect for you if you like trying out new things and generally have a certain affinity for DIY and handicrafts. You don't have to be particularly skilled, but you should still enjoy making things yourself and be willing to learn new techniques.

The leather in our standard collection comes from a tannery in Veneto that has been working with leather for more than 20 years and supplies many well-known luxury leather goods labels. Using innovative methods, particularly in the area of water treatment and resource-saving techniques, the tannery combines traditional craftsmanship with modern expertise.

The leathers in our Special Editions mostly come from surplus sales from Tuscany or are our own productions that we have commissioned from Italian tanneries. Overhang sales are leftover stock from large luxury leather goods labels that no longer want to use these leathers as they work with seasonal collections. The leathers are carefully selected by us on site so that we can also offer very good quality and great special features. Treasure hunt, next level!

The other materials such as metal accessories, webbing and other supplementary items come from suppliers in the leather processing industry. We source these from all over the world, but in particular from Italy, Spain, Portugal, China and France, depending on where we find the best product for your DIY box.
