Pigeoncoq: a free workshop to make your own leather accessories in Paris

Choose a piece of leather and turn it into something to take home: that’s Pigeoncoq’s way of celebrating its 10th anniversary. The leather goods workshop is inviting the public to discover its world by making small accessories, in partnership with Nona Source, a platform specializing in the reuse of materials from luxury fashion houses.

Leathers to choose from to design your accessory

Nearly 200 kilos of leather are promised for the day, including a selection of deadstock supplied by Nona Source. Participants can choose their material before making a charm, a case, a lucky charm or a card holder. The format also leaves room to come up with a more personal creation using the leather on offer.

This gathering thus puts materials and their transformation center stage. Choosing a color, texture or shape becomes the starting point for an accessory that each participant makes on site. Visitors discover leatherworking through a hands-on project, in the spaces where Pigeoncoq usually holds its workshops.

An introduction to small leather goods

Founded by Juliette Chauveau, Pigeoncoq runs workshops where participants make accessories and bags, which the editorial team has tried out. This anniversary edition offers an introduction to the craft through small everyday objects. The project also highlights the use of leather that is already available, giving new purpose to materials left in stock.
