200 kilos of leather from major fashion houses for a giant DIY workshop to make your own accessories for free!
For its 10th anniversary, Pigeoncoq is doing things big and opening its workshop doors to the public, in partnership with Nona Source, the platform facilitating the reuse of materials from LVMH group houses.
Pick your leather from the pile and craft a small leather good in about 20 minutes: charm, case, talisman, card holder, or whatever comes to mind. No prior experience required and nearly 200 kg of leather, including a selection from deadstock made available by Nona Source, will be offered.
If you wish to create a freeform design, remember to prepare your ideas beforehand, because 20 minutes flies by, but otherwise, we will have plenty to inspire you on site.
Since 2016, more than 30 000 bags have left the workshops, and I'm not sure I've ever seen the same one twice. But what I love is seeing that almost everyone discovers how satisfying it is to make their own bag with their own hands.
