Zushi City, Kanagawa Prefecture (Home atelier open. Business trip workshops also negotiable) I hold workshops in my home atelier space in Zushi. Holding workshops has become a new opportunity for me to meet people. I'm so happy that the people who create shoes are so pleased with them, and shoemaking itself is fun! |

[Leather Atelier HARUKA] Haruka-san Setagaya Ward, Tokyo
English Speaker I have an atelier in Jiyugaoka, Tokyo, where I offer workshops for Loper shoes and various leather items, as well as custom-made, one-of-a-kind tailoring. I also hold workshops on business trips throughout Japan and in English for inbound visitors to Japan. The shoes are also sold at select shops in Tokyo. |

Taito Ward, Tokyo I was truly shocked when I first encountered LOPER! The high degree of freedom despite being shoes that can be worn outdoors, the ability to complete them in one day, and the variety of patterns to match the unique soles are truly revolutionary. The policy of "creating your own original through a workshop → being able to repair what you make yourself, and using it for a long time" is also the most important policy in my leather stationery workshops. |

Heart leather Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo It's been 20 years since I started a leather craft class at Musashi Koyama Shopping Street Palm. I was moved by the freedom and fun of shoemaking when I encountered LOPER. |

Here is the upcoming schedule. Reservations are on a first-come, first-served basis.
No dates are open right now. New dates will be announced here as soon as they are set.
If there are no workshops held near you, we also accept inquiries about on-site workshops. Please also use the inquiry form to register for notifications when seats become available.

More than 90% of the shoes you see every day are manufactured using adhesives.
Many of the adhesives used are solvent-based.
They volatilize as they bond, producing toxic fumes.
That's why shoe factories require ventilation equipment.
However, complete exhaust is not possible.
Normally, shoemaking requires expensive equipment and skilled techniques.
We aim to create high-quality products that incorporate local characteristics and use local materials, without mass production.
By creating a system where people can purchase these products from trusted sources, we aim to build a cycle where both users and makers can become prosperous and happy.

We will send you the sole kit and materials.
