In the heart of New York City’s bustling Garment District, Anthony Luciano Studio offers an inventive hands-on experience that blends craftsmanship with conviviality. The “Sip & Stitch: Mini Pouch” workshop invites adults to invest 2.5 hours creating a personalized leather pouch—an ideal fusion of art, design, and social energy. Under the guidance of Master Leather Craftsman Anthony Luciano, participants work with genuine leather, stitching their own compact pouches perfectly sized for everyday essentials like tech accessories, cards, or cash.
