The Arthur Clutch Bag KIT - Leather Bag making Kit for Domestic Sewing Machines £65

About the Bag: The Arthur Leather Clutch Kit

It always surprises people when I say you can sew leather bags at home on your domestic sewing machine—it’s exactly how I started my own leather bag-making journey. I wanted to share my love for bag making and show you just how easy and accessible it can be. All of our leather bag-making kits are meticulously designed to be achievable on a domestic sewing machine.

The Arthur Leather Clutch is a beautifully simple yet versatile design, perfect for both day and night. It’s the ideal size to carry your essentials—or even an iPad—making it just as at home in the office as it is at an evening out. With its secure zip fastening, comfortable wrist strap, and stylish leather tassel, it’s a bag you’ll reach for time and time again.

This project is perfect for beginners wanting to learn core leatherworking skills without feeling overwhelmed. You’ll be guided through each stage as you make your own professional-quality clutch from scratch.
