In this hands-on, 60-minute session, you'll have the chance to personalise your bag from the ground up. Choose the body colour of your bag, select your favourite Harris Tweed® cloth lid, and add decorative straps to complete your design. Whether you prefer something bold and adventurous or a more classic look, the choice is entirely yours!

Once you've selected your components, you'll be guided through the construction process using a set of tools provided, ensuring a fun and rewarding experience.

When your handbag is complete, step outside and proudly showcase your creation under our beautiful floral entrance. We encourage you to share your one-of-a-kind Harris Tweed® Islander Handbag with the world, a true testament to your creativity and craftsmanship.

Join us at the Islander Handbag Workshop and experience the joy of making something truly unique!
