The atelier

Hermanngasse 19, 1070 Wien

One room in Vienna’s 7th district where every Bags With Legs bag is chosen, cut, sewn — and handed over the counter.

Est. December 2024 Neubau, Wien Handmade in small series
The space

A shop in front, a sewing room behind.

We opened in December 2024 in Vienna’s 7th district, Neubau. Everything happens in one room: the leather is chosen, the patterns are cut, the seams are sewn, and the finished bag is handed over the counter — often by the woman who made it.

There is no factory floor and no separate showroom. The person who cuts a hide is often the same person who rings up the sale — and the bags on the shelf were made a few steps from where they are sold.

The leather

Deadstock, sorted by hand.

Our leather is leftover stock the industry set aside. We buy these rests, sort them by hand, and let each hide decide what it becomes. Fabrics and buckles are European-made.

Because the material itself is limited, almost every bag is a small series or a one-of-a-kind piece.

How a bag is made

From a leftover hide to a bag with legs.

Every bag passes through the same four steps — all of them in one room on Hermanngasse.

  1. 01
    Choose the leather
    Deadstock hides are bought in and sorted by hand. Each one is different — its size, grain and colour decide what it can become.
  2. 02
    Cut the pattern
    The pieces are marked and cut from the hide, matched with European fabrics for the lining and pockets.
  3. 03
    Sew by hand
    Seams, lining and hardware come together at the machine — about six hours of handwork for a small bag, eight for a large one.
  4. 04
    Hand it over
    The finished bag is handed across the counter, often by the woman who made it.

Months of training
1950s
Yes, our machines are from the fifties — durable and strong.

The sewing room is also the school: women with refugee and migrant backgrounds learn the craft here over about three months — cutting, sewing, design and the shop itself. One of them, Asilla, now makes the bags alongside Annamaria.
