5.0 (6)Welcome to Haptic Wallets on Classbento! I'm the leather enthusiast behind these tactile creations, and I'm thrilled to share the craft of making stylish minimalist wallets with you. My classes are a dive into the art of leatherworking, where you'll handcraft your very own Snap or Money wallet. You'll learn all the ins and outs of making a wallet that's not just a tool, but a piece of art that feels good in your hands and even better in your pocket.
From selecting the perfect piece of veg-tan leather to stitching it all together, I'll guide you through each step, ensuring you walk away with a wallet you're proud to say you made. My goal is for you to cherish not only the wallet but also the experience of crafting it. Get ready to put some soul into that leather and create something truly special!
Join me for a session of cutting, stitching, and laughing, and let's make some wallet magic happen together!

My dad and I had so much fun at this workshop! Kit and team were super helpful and we learned a lot. Love the wallets we made as well as the extra card holder. The vibe was immaculate with the music. Class size was perfect and the studio was very clean and organized. Also, paid parking ($30 for up to 19 hrs) was super convenient and located in the parking deck next door. We had a blast! Would totally do this again!

Hey Nicole and Sean -- you both are pro wallet crafters now! It was great working with you two!

Absolutely loved this class. After choosing the leather and thread, then cutting, Kit shared his knowledge of leathermaking using the different processes and tools (many which he created) necessary to finish off the leather before assembling and stitching our beautiful wallets. It was so much fun. I highly recommend this class and will definitely be going back!

My girlfriend and I loved this class.
It was our first time making anything with leather and it was a great time! Kit was an excellent instructor, full of fun stories and great tips. We were able to complete the class in just over 3 hours and really enjoyed the whole process from selecting materials, to building a small card holder and then finally making a full minimalistic wallet.
Highly recommend this to do as a date night activity!
Teacher's response
Thank you, Greg! I'm glad you and your girlfriend has a fantastic time and that you enjoyed the process, from choosing materials to creating your own card holder and wallet. I had a blast and it's exciting to hear that you two did as well.

This class was great!
My boyfriend and I were walked through how to make our own wallets. First, we got to choose among a wide variety of leathers, hardware and thread colors. Next, we made a minimalistic trial wallet to get familiar with all the techniques needed to move on to confidently making the wallets shown in the picture!
You can tell Kit is very knowledgable and passionate about his craft and we learned a lot from this class.
It was the perfect date activity, I highly recommend it!
