"He authentically could not believe that I had made it. He was genuinely shocked at how legit it looked."

"I absolutely love The Porsmith Tote! It fits so much, including my big ol’ laptop, and it was a blast to work with waxed canvas for the first time."

"This bag turned out so radical! It was cool to be able to make a whole badass backpack with zippers, rolltop, leather, hardware."

"Having all the leather pieces come prepped (cut out, holes for rivets punched, etc.) was such a time saver...The instructions were clear and easy to follow and the final project looks so nice; it's fully lined and adorable inside and out. "

Watch me make the Naito!

"Everything feels luxe: the waxed canvas, buttery leather, and beautiful hardware. It was a joy to make throughout the whole assembly process. From start to finish, having all the supplies at my fingertips made this project immensely satisfying."

"I'm a sucker for clever designs and this is such a fun one."

"My first bag ever is finished and I am IN 💛! The kit with high-quality fabric, leather, and hardware was incredibly helpful. The online class was invaluable for the trickier parts. Ellie is an amazing instructor & breaks things down so clearly! This bag was an absolute joy to sew."

"This bag was surprisingly simple and the waxed canvas fabric was a DREAM to sew with. 🥰 I could see this being great for beginners as well as advanced sewists like myself."

"One of the things I love about Klum House is how you end up with a bag that looks so professional. So much so that you have to show people in progress photos for them to believe that you made it. I take that as a huge compliment. Can you tell that I enjoy defying people's expectations?"
