Honestly, this was the highlight of our trip. It was just the two of us, so we got tons of 1-on-1 time with the instructor, who really knows his stuff when it comes to leather. They actually met us on the European side and navigated us through the metro over to the Asian side, which took all the stress out of it (they even paid the fare). We were sipping on Turkish coffee and tea the whole time - just felt super welcomed. Definitely book this if you’re in Istanbul

I absolutely loved the wallet-making workshop. It was engaging, well-structured, and very informative. The environment was friendly and relaxed, which made the whole experience enjoyable. Everyone was pleased and had a great time. Thank you for such a wonderful workshop!Jerry
Perfect place! Wonderful view from the open terrace. Great teacher. All explanations were clear and understandable. Very person oriented class. Everyone has an attention of a master during the time. And the result is great as a memory and as a useful object! Recommend!Jimmy

le professeur était super. nous étions que deux avec ma mère et nous avons donc eu un cours privé. déjà, je suis très contente que le cours n'a pas été annulé. malgré un anglais vraiment pas au niveau, il a été très patient et nous a montré une à une les étapes. nous sommes très fiers de notre travail et je remercie toute l'équipe du café pour leur accueil et leur aide à descendre et monter le fauteuil roulant.Daniel
Es war ein tolles Event. Der Guide war sehr freundlich und geduldig mit uns 🙂 weiterhin hat man seinen Spaß am Handwerk richtig gemerkt. Vielen lieben Dank für das Event und das schöne Andenken. Ein Highlight unseres Istanbul-Trips
