We had a great time learning how to make belts and finished two beauties to take home. We highly recommend this experience. Great people!

This leather workshop was truly one-of-a-kind. Aaron showed us how to make a belt from start to finish. Beginning with measuring and cutting the leather, our excellent teacher showed us step-by-step how to make a belt and helped us to use the serious tools he uses regularly. We left with two high quality belts we proudly made ourselves and an appreciation for what goes into creating leather goods.

This class was so much fun and my favorite activity of my trip so far. I made a belt. I was given plenty of options in leather, choices of color, buckles, etc., provided step by step instruction with patience, involved in each step of construction (items aren’t pre-cut or made for you), taught about the equipment used and now have a wonderful personalized keepsake from my trip. Also the shop where the class is taught has beautiful handmade leather goods to browse and purchase gifts for yourself or loved ones. I highly recommended making this activity part of your trip. It’s a unique experience.

Aaron was a fantastic teacher! Very informative lesson. I have a new appreciation for the craft and will look more closely at the quality of leather goods!

One of the best experiences in Florence and all Italy. After visitng the Gucci museum, my wife and I wanted to do something related to leather and fashion in Florence, since it is one of the leather capitals of Italy. We found this tour on Viator even though it had no reviews (also known as We Make Market on another site). The tour was with a small leather goods manufactuere and retailer called Infinity Leather, right near the Arno River on the edge of the historic district. Aaron and his wife run the shop and make their own goods. It's a small second or third generation outfit. We ended up being the only guests that day. Aaron guided my wife and I to make custom belts- from choosing the leather and cutting it, smoothing it, stitching it, adding buckles to embossing them with our inititals, we were hands on for the whole 3 hours. Super fun, very informative and felt like we were really getting a good feel for the process.
