The Bag Pattern Making & Prototyping Course at Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» focuses on developing the technical expertise required to design and construct bag patterns and prototypes. This course is tailored to meet the needs of aspiring bag technicians and professionals, combining traditional methods with advanced 2D CAD tools.
Key features of the Bag pattern making and prototyping course
- Comprehensive Technical Training: Master pattern making, prototyping, and bag construction using high-quality materials and leather from top producers
- Hands-on experience in an in-house sample room: Practice real-world bag assembly techniques using professional-grade tools and machineries
- Prototyping skills: Learn to create physical mock-ups to translate technical patterns into realistic prototypes, preparing for industry-level production
What you’ll learn
- Bag construction pattern making: Learn step-by-step pattern-making techniques for 27 Iconic Bag Styles as satchels, saddle bags, bucket bags, drawstring backpacks, duffle bags, and more
- Hands-on prototyping: Work in the classroom and sample room with leather, microfiber, and fabrics, focusing on drawing, cutting, sewing, and assembling prototypes for five bag construction types
- CAD-Based pattern drafting: Gain proficiency in drafting precise patterns using Rhinoceros 3D software, for a professional workflow
Bag pattern making and prototyping classes – 15 weeks
This course, rooted in Made in Italy craftsmanship, offers unmatched technical expertise for a career in footwear. This 15-week course provides a complete learning path from pattern creation to prototyping.
We have enriched and renewed the course of bag pattern making and prototyping, expanding it to 15 weeks in order to equip you with a solid technical and design culture of this accessory, which will allow you to enter the world of production or to relate with the factories with technical and professional qualities of excellence.
The theoretical knowledge of manufacturing, construction and of the process of making an accessory – in addition to the constant practice in the internal sample room of the School, equipped with all the basic equipment for hemming and assembling bags – will allow you to test the technical skills you have acquired, providing you with valuable evaluation elements on the feasibility of the models you have designed and allowing you to recognize, since the design, the critical issues that you may encounter during production and, thus, to avoid them.
Most of the work takes place between the classroom and the sample room, between paper, cardboard, microfiber, leather and fabrics. Hours dedicated to drawing, cutting and measuring but also to sketching, preparing and sewing.
The Arsutoria Technical Diploma is a highly professionalizing program, recognized internationally by the bag industry for its excellence. Students are expected to master the skills and techniques that have established Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» as a world-renowned leader in bag pattern making and prototyping courses.
This diploma ensures you stand out in the competitive bag industry with expertise that meets global standards.

I've come over here in order to gain the technical as well as the creative knowledge on creating or producing a handbag. In the beginning, the course starts with the technical part which is basically inclusive of creating patternsÌý²¹²Ô»å drafting patterns using the technical knowledge. We basically draft the patterns by hand as well as we use the CAD programÌý²¹²Ô»å we create patterns which are cut through the machines and then we make the paper prototype of a bag (...) then make a microfiber prototype to see whether the bag is technically correct and then we make a bag from the leather

I learned to give the right name to things, I learned the right technique, I learned to use lots of machinery that I didn't even know existed (...) If someone asks me to develop an idea I will have the confidence and skills to do it
