One of the best experiences of our entire trip to Vietnam.
I came with my two daughters and we all made our own wallets from scratch. Anton is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about his craft. He guided us through every single step — cutting, punching, stitching — without ever making us feel rushed or overwhelmed.
What made it special is that he let us do the work ourselves. He was there when we needed him, but the finished wallets are truly ours. My daughters (ages 11 and 13) were so proud of what they made, and honestly so was I.
The studio is calm, air-conditioned, and tucked away from the chaos of Old Town — exactly the kind of hidden gem you hope to find when traveling. Anton is the real deal — a true craftsman who loves sharing his skill with others.
We will remember this afternoon for a very long time. If you're in Hoi An, don't think twice. Just book it.
