WE TEACH YOU TO MAKE, BY HAND

THE SCHOOL

Making with your hands is a way of thinking. It teaches the patience that precision needs, the time it takes to go from an attempt to a result, the value of the hours an object carries within it. Those who learn to make by hand learn to recognise that value. And knowledge that is recognised is knowledge that lives on.

At the School of Leathercraft of Bottega Bruzziches, knowledge is passed on as it always has been: from one person to another, from the hand that knows to the hand that learns.

CREATIVE LEATHERWORK WORKSHOP

Two days inside Bottega Bruzziches, in the heart of Tuscia, to create a bag with your own hands, from start to finish. Not a classroom, but the workshop where the Benedetta Bruzziches collections are born every day. You will learn to choose the most suitable leather, to build a pattern and follow its cuts, to sew by machine and by hand, but above all you will discover the value of the time it takes to make an object well.

The workshop includes:

2 days at the Bottega (Saturday and Sunday, 9:00–18:00)
All materials and tools
The School Certificate
Lunch in Tuscia, cooked by Mamma Ada, on both days
Access to the workshop, the design studio and the collection at the Bottega
Your finished bag, to take home
If you wish, you can buy the kit to keep on creating

NEXT DATES: 18–19 APRIL 2026 · 16–17 MAY 2026

Maximum 8 participants per session.

TEACHERS

At the School you learn from people who do this work every day. Beside you at the table are the people who conceive, build and know every detail of Benedetta Bruzziches bags. They show you the gestures, correct your hand, and tell you the reason behind every choice.

Salvatore Nicosia

Pattern Maker & Master Artisan

Thirty years in the trade. He teaches at IED and at the Koefia Academy in Rome. At the Bottega he is the one who teaches you to cut, to build the pattern, to understand how a bag takes shape before you even touch the leather.

Agostino Bruzziches

Co-founder and CEO

He is the one who makes Benedetta Bruzziches bags. All of them. Since 2009 he has known every leather by its origin, behaviour and lifespan. In the workshop he guides you through every stage of construction and tells you how everything you touch came to be.

Claudia Mariani

Designer

She is the one who turns an idea into an object that can be built. She introduces you to the vocabulary of the bag: proportions, strong points, the reason one curve works and another does not. Before creating, you need to learn to read.

THE CLUB

Benedetta Bruzziches is a brand that puts people at its centre, and it is people it wants to reach. Our bags are made with the care you give to things that matter, and, as you know, care is the enemy of haste: it never sits well with large numbers. That is why the Club exists. Because when you try to speak to everyone, you end up shouting. We would rather speak softly, almost under our breath, and build connections with those who, through the noise, can pick out our sound and catch its nuances. The Club is not about exclusion, nor about exclusivity. It is a boundary, to be discovered in the most positive sense of the word: not raised to keep people out, but drawn to welcome them, as carefully as possible.

The Club is our promise to you. We ask for your time and your attention, and we take on the responsibility of making sure that time is never wasted. We will never claim we are not trying to sell you anything: our value begins with a product, and every purchase is the backbone that lets us exist. But we promise that every word will be sincere, weighed and meant for you. That every message, every invitation, will be a moment able to add something to your days.

WHAT'S THE CLUB?

The Club is not a place you pass through, but a space for intentional choice, yours and ours.

It's a genuine way to build meaningful relationships with those who choose to be fully present, where every experience is designed as a mutual, measured, sincere, and heartfelt gesture.

We've chosen to make certain moments exclusive to members, so we can take the time and space needed to express our vision of sustainable luxury: not just in words, but through actions. A luxury not defined solely by materials, but by the way we choose to exist in the world. In your world. And by the way we invite you into ours.

For us, sustainability also means this: a form of presence, of listening, of inner integrity.

It's about reconnecting with what truly matters, and reclaiming what is truly valuable.
