Create your own bespoke Harris Tweed® handbag in this hands-on, guided workshop at New Lanark. Over the course of 60 minutes, you’ll design and build your bag from the ground up — choosing your body colour, selecting your favourite Harris Tweed® cloth lid, and finishing with decorative straps to suit your style. Whether bold and adventurous or timeless and classic, the result is a handbag that reflects your personal taste.

With expert guidance and all tools provided, this relaxed and rewarding experience is perfect for a day out with friends or a solo creative escape.
