Anthony Luciano

Anthony Luciano is a New York-based leather designer who hosts evening handbag-making workshops in his 13th-floor Garment District studio where participants design and build their own leather bag from raw materials while enjoying wine and snacks. Students choose their leather color and suede lining at the start, then work through the entire assembly process with step-by-step instruction so even complete beginners leave with a finished, professional-looking leather bag. The studio has been featured on the Today Show, Good Morning America, and NBC New York.
