Tucked inside the iconic Pike Place Market, Leolo's leather atelier is where your next favorite bag goes from idea to reality -- stitched, riveted, and made entirely by your own two hands! In this hands-on leatherwork class, you'll walk away with a full-grain tote bag complete with solid brass or silver hardware that you personally crafted, sized, and assembled. No leather experience necessary -- your expert host guides you through every step with patience, expertise, and a genuinely good time built right into the agenda!
Here's how it works: you choose your leather color, size your straps exactly the way you want them, and get comfortable with real leatherworking tools -- mallets, rivets, skivers, punches, edge bevels, and a sewing machine. Learning how to make a tote bag from scratch sounds intimidating, but this class is designed to build your confidence skill by skill, so by the time you're done, you'll feel like you've been doing this for years. Whether you're looking for unique things to do in Seattle, planning bachelorette party ideas that go beyond the usual, or simply wanting to learn how to make a bag worth keeping forever, this is your moment.
The tote you leave with isn't a kit project or a souvenir -- it's a lifetime piece, built to your taste and sized to your life. Seattle's Pike Place Market has no shortage of memorable experiences, but walking out of a leather class with something you made yourself? That one hits different!

Leolo Handmade Shoes is a Seattle-based brand built at the beautiful crossroads of artistry, sustainability, and human connection. Founded by Leanne Corcoran -- a painter-turned-shoemaker with an MFA and a lifelong love of design -- Leolo brings a deeply personal touch to every pair of shoes it creates. Leanne's journey to shoemaking wasn't a straight line, but rather a joyful, soul-led leap toward something she'd always dreamed of, and that passion shows in every stitch.
Each pair of Leolo shoes is the product of a 220+ step bespoke process, rooted in an 18th-century tradition that takes roughly 40 hours of hands-on craftsmanship to complete. It's truly a family affair too -- Leanne's mom, Maureen, still lends a hand in the studio. Leolo believes that what you wear should mean something, and they're on a mission to prove that beautiful, handmade things and a more sustainable world can go hand in hand!
