My daughter and I had a great time creating our coffa. The experience began with a short video about how the bags were made and used in the past. We were then shown beautiful fabrics, trims and adornments and got to work. Claudia and Giulia encouraged us to be creative and to try different combinations of fabric/trim/adornments until we had “the” bag. Our time ended with pictures of our bags and the group. This experience was a highlight of our time in Sicily and one we won’t soon forget. Claudia and Giulia have created a very fun experience that all will enjoy!

My daughters (ages 21 and 17) and I had the most wonderful time! Maria and her mother took great care and showed great patience in helping us select every detail for our bags. We will treasure the bags we made!

I had so much fun making this bag. To start with you are introduced to the artisans process of making the bag from scratch through a video presentation, and a bit of history about the bags use. Then you get right in to the fun part…starting to design the elements of your decoration. The class is fun and as hands on as you like. There are so many different design elements to choose from to make your bag a one of a kind. Giulia and Claudia are a wonderful team and will help guide you every step of the way. I really enjoyed this experience.

What a fun experience with Maria and Giulia. Loved my finished product and video!!
