Learning How to Craft a Hermes-like Luxury Bag in Europe’s Most Expensive City

Join me on an extraordinary journey where I delve into the world of luxury leather crafting. Over the past year and a half, I've embarked on a unique hobby of destroying luxury leather bags, with a total cost exceeding $50,000. Needless to say, my wife wasn't initially thrilled about my peculiar pastime, as you'll see from her hilarious reactions throughout this adventure.

But amidst the chaos of bag destruction, I made a promise to create something truly exceptional for her. This led me to a serendipitous encounter with master craftsman Peter Nitz, renowned for his bespoke leather bags. Determined to fulfill my promise, I seized the opportunity to become his final student, embarking on a week-long intensive course in Zurich, the heart of European luxury.

Under Peter's guidance, I delved into the intricacies of leather crafting, pushing my skills to new heights. From selecting the finest crocodile skins to mastering the art of saddle stitching and edge painting, each day presented new challenges and triumphs. Despite moments of doubt and fatigue, Peter's expertise and patience propelled me forward, culminating in the creation of a breathtaking masterpiece.

As I reflect on my journey, I'm filled with gratitude for the invaluable lessons learned and the friendships forged along the way. Join me as we embark on this journey of creativity, craftsmanship, and Leathertainment.
