Ho Chi Minh City Leather Notebook-Making Workshop

Turn your time in Ho Chi Minh City into a craft session as you handmake a leather notebook that you keep as a memory from Saigon, Vietnam.

Begin with guidance from a local instructor, who helps you pick your materials, explains the tools, and sets you up for the notebook build.

Use the leather cover, inner pages, and tools to cut, punch, and stitch your notebook, learning each step carefully with instruction.

Play with thread colors to personalize the binding, enjoy a creative studio vibe, and share ideas with fellow makers during the session.

Select the notebook format that suits you best, choosing mini 10.5 x 13 cm or normal 13 x 21 cm, depending on your space for notes.
