About Workshop

AFAMevents Institute intends to hold a training course on designing and producing bags for its loyal companions. This course includes several workshops on different topics, all aimed at creating a skilled bag designer. The first workshop is related to creating a pattern and initial prototyping of the bag, which will be taught by Ms. Vernika Pessu, a well-known designer in the field of bag and shoe design who has taught various bag and shoe design courses in Italy and the United States.

The term “accessory” has become very popular in the fashion industry in recent decades and is an integral part of personal style. Common accessories include jewelry, watches, eyewear, bags, shoes, and so on. In the field of design, each of these accessories has a special place in the design, production, and material processes. While some consider bag design a “simple” fashion product compared to shoe design, the truth is that bag design is a complex composition of elements that contribute to its quality, functionality, and beauty.
Designing and producing a bag is a long and highly specialized process. Firstly, this process begins with the mastery of technical modeling, which requires sensitivity and delicacy in pattern making and utilizing the secrets of bag design and construction. Technical models can read, interpret, and provide solutions for creative ideas of designers.
This training course on creating bag patterns and prototyping familiarizes participants with the process of pattern making, model design, and bag accessories to enable them to enter the world of bag production. In this course, theoretical knowledge of production, the stages of accessory production, continuous practice in cutting and assembling leathers, and other skills related to bag design and production are taught.
