Meet Georgie Tym

My passion for bag design and creation has led me on a journey from making bags for brands including Nike, Jaguar, M&S and Cherchbi, to fulfilling my dream of starting my own bespoke bag business, Hands of Tym

A leather bag designer, maker and enthusiast at heart, I’ve been creating, crafting and teaching leatherwork for over 10 years. 

Whilst I work mostly with leather, I also enjoy using fabrics and leather alternatives, including beautiful vegan options.

The craft is more than work to me. It’s a passion I live and breathe.

My passion for making things started when I was still in school. Knowing I wanted to one day run my own bespoke making business, I continued to develop my technique at the London College of Fashion, where I studied Bags and Accessories Design and Technology. 

About the Class

Come and enjoy absorbing leather crafting for a mindful experience crafting with your hands. Learn directly from Leathersmith and London College of Fashion Lecturer, Georgie Tym, as she guides you, making a classic hand stitched vegetable tanned leather clutch with a raw edge and removable cross body strap. There will be a flap and stud closure to secure your valuables inside the unlined bag.

Have fun learning the basics of leather craft, with introduction to techniques including: hand stitching on leather, hand finishing, personalising and hand cutting. You will be working with quality Italian vegetable tanned leather. 

Feel satisfied leaving with your very own handcrafted masterpiece
