You have the option to add the online class, tools, and a paper instructions booklet below. NOTE: FINAL SALE! The leather, zipper + hardware colors will be a surprise! *Fabric and leather may include dents, scuffs and small spots.

😍 Maker Stories

@whitnetygetsdressed

"There’s nothing quite as cathartic as beating the crap…out of leather & metal with a heavy mallet. 10/10, do recommend."

@therealalexisbailey

“My sewing plans include lots of hammering. It’s a fun and pretty empowering experience…making a whole hardcore bag from scratch.”

@sewnorth

"This full maker kit takes it to the top floor penthouse suite. It's a comprehensive, beautifully curated making experience. Recommended if you’re looking to spoil yourself with a ‘win."

@kryystaa

“I really love this backpack! Not only the way it looks but how functional it is. This was also so fun to make and easier than I thought it would be!”

@sierraburrell

"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?"

This is the most complex sewing project I’ve ever done on my home sewing machine. I bought the gray Pendleton version and love the way the fabric is off center, but looks intentional. I followed the video and everything went smoothly, though some of my rivets probably could have been set a little straighter. I purchased the backpack strap felt pads and think they add a nice aesthetic touch as well as a bit of extra comfort. I customized many of the leather parts with hand stamps. There is just so much specialness about this project. Everyone at work was impressed. You can do it! Don’t hesitate.

Second slab town

Love making this bag. Second go round. This time I modified it a little. I added a laptop pocket in the interior on the back panel. made the side pockets much bigger—I found that I couldn’t really fit anything in the pockets as designed. Finally, I made the hidden zipper pocket a few inches bigger to fit an 11 inch journal into. Generally though, klumhouse is the GOAT and has given me so many skills and joy. Thank you!

WOW...Challenging but Worth Effort

Appreciate online instructions, but would find having printed instructions 45pages a ➕. Would even pay for printing. Did not take the online class and found directions easy to follow. My greatest challenge was hardware and had to stop assembly because I did not realize I needed correct size snap & rivet setter kit for slabtown plus additional snaps. Fortunately klumhose has exceptionally fast shipping & delivery. Made slabtown bag for my sister as a gift and surely she will be delighted to use on
her adventures for years!
