Review Body: What an enjoyable session in a beautiful space that exceeded all our expectations! Every step of this process was well organised and comfortable. The steps themselves weren’t too challenging; we were closely guided by our facilitator. We spent more time picking our customisations and colours, but that’s just the way I like it! During this time, the facilitator shared about the brand and its foundation of sustainability which I appreciated deeply. Sustainability was also woven into the activity (e.g. little charms made from leftover rope that we could add on to our bags if we wanted). So proud to know that Gin Lee is part Singaporean owned! The end product was way more gorgeous and versatile than I’d expected. It was packed in a box that was beautifully labelled with our specific customisations. Love all the little touches! The only thing I’d suggest is for the facilitator to speak more loudly as I couldn’t hear her very well despite being in close proximity. This was such a well designed experience and I’m so pleased! This has definitely exceeded our expectations and I’d highly recommend it.

Review Body: Brought my sister out for something fun for her birthday. We both had a really fun time doing our bags and learning about sustainability. It was a great experience getting our hands on making a bag. Our facilitator, Marcus is very patient and professional when conducting the workshop. We were encouraged by Marcus to be creative when designing the bags and learning to embrace the differences of the bag that were unique to us. We've gained really valuable insights about the process of making the bags and the science behind the process of the bag making. It was truly great fun and learning experience with the help of Marcus. Thank you GINLEE Studio for creating such an experience and doing this cause. Thank you Seek Sophie team for listing this program up. We had a blast of fun!

Review Body: We thoroughly enjoyed this workshop, especially the level of customization it offered. The duration was just right, and the host was incredibly friendly, patient, and helpful throughout the session. We arrived late, but the host kindly waited for us, which we truly appreciated. We also got to bring home a beautiful finished piece, making the experience even more memorable. I actually booked this workshop just the day before as a gift for a girlfriend who is expecting, and it turned out to be such a meaningful and thoughtful experience. Highly recommended!

Review Body: The class was informative and fun because it was hands on. Ikhsan, my instructor and sales person, was knowledgeable and friendly and patient. Very nice person who made the class enjoyable. You have many choices to customize your bag. It was in the GinLee store in the Raffles City Mall. That wasn’t made clear and I wasn’t able to find it right away because I did not realize it was the store, I was expecting a studio, not a storefront. All in all, I would definitely recommend this experience if you want to make your own pleated bag.

Review Body: Super fun and rewarding experience! Our facilitator was very friendly and patiently led us through the steps to make the bag - the number of customisation choices available will definitely take you some time to decide how you want your bag to turn out. She ensured every step was safe for us especially since this experience involves high heat, and my friends and I had a lot of fun catching up while making bags. 💘 Highly recommend if you're into fashion and crafts!

Review Body: Sign up for the bag making event provided by the Singapore Tourism Board! Small free bags are provided on site, and if you want to replace them with medium or large ones, you can buy them at an additional price! ! This time I made a small and a medium sized crepe bag. The service staff is very friendly throughout the process, and the finished product of the bag is also very beautiful It is really recommended to come here to make a wrinkle bag of your own!

Review Body: Really insightful and fun session! Was able to customise and really get hands-on with making our bag. Host was also very informative and answered questions we had. Overall it is a very good initiative by Ginlee on taking a step towards advocating for sustainability. Goods they carry in stores also reflect that!

Review Body: I experienced bag making at SingaporeRewards. Thanks to the staff who could speak a little Japanese, I had no problem with my broken English. They will teach you carefully. I was able to make a cute shoulder bag and it became a good memory.
