Summary: I had an amazing experience at the leather belt-making class in Montreal! Kim, our host, was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, answering all our questions and guiding us through each step. We got to choose the color of our leather and hardware, and even stamp our initials on the belts for a personal touch. The entire process was enjoyable and educational. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in leather crafting or looking for a unique, hands-on activity in Montreal. Thank you, Kim, for making this such a memorable experience!
