Aloha Leather
Description
Trung runs this small leather workshop where you can buy finished pieces or make your own from scratch. The custom work stands out from the generic bag shops on every other corner – reviewers specifically call out original designs and details that other places in Hoi An just aren’t doing.
The classes are flexible in a way that matters: he’ll let you make whatever you actually want (a bag, a wallet, a knife sheath) rather than steering you toward a preset project. His English gets the job done, and Google Translate fills the gaps.
Expect to spend more time here than planned. That’s not a complaint – it’s just how the place runs. Moot the dog will keep you company while you work.
Highlights
Insider Tip
Tell Trung upfront what you actually want to make - he'll work with you on a custom project rather than the standard wallet, so come with a reference photo if you have something specific in mind.
