A fun place to make shoes and bags out of leather - I have been making various things since February. It's really fun. They have a lot of leather types, colors, thread colors, and they're resourceful. A fun and homely place. You want to make it one after the other. It also gives me a calm space boost.

A dream-like production experience! - With a choice of leather fabrics in all tastes, I couldn’t stop excited about the variety and possibilities available! There are many colors, from sewing threads to grommets, and if you are in doubt, the instructor, Haruka, will advise you. It was a dream-like fun production time, and we were chatting happily and it was done in no time. Thank you.

Repeat confirmed. - The left and right main parts were made with slightly different materials. There are so many leather and stitching 🧵 choices. I chose it with all my heart while receiving advice even though I was lost. With careful guidance, I was able to make it smoothly and was very satisfied with the result. I was able to play with the tassels I had bought before ♪ At the atelier, I was shown a variety of nice shoes in different designs and I was really keen to make them.

We can make one shoe in the world. - You can make one great pair of shoes in the world! Haruka's studio has too many materials to choose from, and you will always find something you like. I am not good at sewing because I can decide the combination of materials and colors through consultation. Even if you say so, you will always have a nice pair of shoes. I would love to see you make a pair of shoes that are one of a kind in the world that you don't wear with anyone.

I go to make it many times (laughs). - I made tasseled shoes, sandals, brooches, book covers, leather accessories and more. It was a great experience to be able to create something unique and unique from so many materials. Another nice thing is that you can use the things you make for everyday use. You can use it with attachment.

Atelier where you can give shape to what you like⭐︎ - It is a very nice studio. You can make shoes with your favorite fabric, More than anything, they're comfortable, I go to make them every season. Recently, I made shoes for my mother and mother-in-law. I was happy that they liked it because it was easy to wear and cute. When I don't have time to make it, I can choose a fabric and order it. Thank you for meeting Haruka!!

Art of Shoemaking - Excellent experience with Haruka. She is a terrific teacher. I was able to select the type of shoe I wanted to make along with the leather and thread. I recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys making original works of art, which is what these shoes are!

Amazing handcrafting time! - I had an amazing time creating my one-of-a-kind pair of shoes! It was such a fun and unique experience, truly the highlight of my trip to Tokyo. Haruka is a wonderfully kind and patient teacher, always ready to offer assistance when needed🙏🏻 This class is perfect for beginners like me, so I would definitely recommend this activity to anyone visiting Tokyo. I can’t wait to book another class the next time I visit! :)

My first shoemaking experience - I participated in a shoemaking workshop. It was my first time to be able to customize the sole, the design, the leather used, everything to my liking. There are so many materials in the studio that it can be fun to get lost in the time to choose, but HARUKA gives you advice. I designed the shoes the same as the people I joined, but the finished shoes were completely different and each one had its own uniqueness. I would love to participate again.
