Islander Harris Tweed Handbag Workshop London Covent Garden

A 90-minute hands-on workshop at Islander in Covent Garden, where participants make a handbag from Harris Tweed chosen for the lid, with a choice of colour and straps.

This is a creative workshop in which you build your own handbag from start to finish. You select the Harris Tweed for the lid, then customise the colour and the straps, so that each bag ends up different from the others.

The session lasts 90 minutes and is led by instructors who explain the craftsmanship behind each piece as you work. No prior sewing or leatherwork experience is mentioned, so it suits people who want to try making an accessory for the first time, as well as those who simply enjoy working with their hands. Once the bag is finished, you can display it under the floral arrangement in the room, which is presented as a reference to Scottish heritage.

The workshop takes place at Islander's Covent Garden venue, in the centre of London.
