Bag pattern making and prototyping
Next intake
A deep dive into the world of pattern engineering complemented by the experience of the manufacturing environment; the sample making weeks clearly show if the patterns have been developed properly.
More details
This path includes
Ten weeks built on Arsutoria’s proprietary pattern making techniques—combining classroom and sample room work across paper, microfiber testing, with substantial hours on 2D CAD. Students develop the technical and design culture needed to enter production or communicate with factories at a professional level, ending with a rigorous final exam for the internationally recognized Arsutoria technical diploma.
Five weeks in the Arsutoria sample room, exploring constructions, finishings, edge treatments, assembling techniques and reinforcements. Students learn how bags are technically built, understand the patterns behind each style, and complete samples through leather cutting, gluing, assembling, stitching and finishing—with full support from sample room technicians.

I've come over here in order to gain the technical as well as the creative knowledge on creating or producing a handbag. In the beginning, the course starts with the technical part which is basically inclusive of creating patterns and drafting patterns using the technical knowledge. We basically draft the patterns by hand as well as we use the CAD program and we create patterns which are cut through the machines and then we make the paper prototype of a bag (...) then make a microfiber prototype to see whether the bag is technically correct and then we make a bag from the leather

I learned to give the right name to things, I learned the right technique, I learned to use lots of machinery that I didn't even know existed (...) If someone asks me to develop an idea I will have the confidence and skills to do it
