Join Team Loper

Thankfully, from all over the country,
I want you to hold a workshop!
I want to sell products using Loper!
We have received many comments like this.
You can make professional-looking shoes in just one day using just common leather craft tools like scissors, needles, and pens. There's no need for expensive machines or specialized tools. Cleaning up afterward is easy; just vacuum up the leather and lint.
Loper shoes are assembled without glue, so even if you make a mistake, you can always try again. Another attractive feature is that you can repair them yourself even if they wear out.
●General shoemaking uses a lot of adhesives, which can create a noticeable smell during the process, but Loper does not use adhesives, so you can work on the shoes with peace of mind.

I got hooked on the fun of making shoes with Loper, and as I made my own shoes, I started getting requests from my friends.
Most of the people who start classes have received requests from people who say, "I want to try making shoes too, so please hold a workshop."
