Too many people in the workshop. Not enough instructors. Fabric was very disorganized. We thought it would be max 3 hours. Took 5 hours to do the workshop. Was never offered any food or drink. Messed up the colors on my purse, my friends purse didn’t have the right fabric and my other friends purse won’t close.
I wouldn’t recommend this.

Ok so yes this is a fun idea and you can make a cute purse . HOWEVER we had a few things that made our experience not great.
First off , note that you pay for the class but only get 145 euro credit , you have to pay the extra. I’m not sure you can make a purse with that credit… they charge for everything! Our group spent an extra 200-350 euro on top of their credit. So kindof a lot.
Second they should NOT sell more than 5-7 slots as they only have a few workers who can sew. The class was supposed to be from 2-5 , we didn’t leave until 7:30pm. They have to sew all the bags so unfortunately our group was last and they took an extremely long time - some of our group missed their dinner reservation. The staff did not seem to care. They need to either bring more workers to sew (1-2 per person) or severely limit the group size or inform us before we showed up. We were completely shocked and upset we were there for over 6 HOURS!
A few recommendations for the business ;
1. Pre cut the panels for us. You know the standard time - this would make this quicker
2. Stagger the group so not everyone is waiting on a seamstress - some waited 2 hours for their turn!! Maybe start part of the group at 2, then the next at 3
3. Make the class size smaller - or you need to put that this class goes 5-6 hours NOT 3
4. Have more hand sew - ers on site . There was only 1 call putting on all the buttons , patches , ect which took forever !!!
Honestly this workshop truly gave us a headache it was horrible how long we were there.

Best experience and highlight of the trip to Paris. They are so helpful and guide you through the process. The finished product is a one of a kind!! So amazing. Don’t forget to include time to shop at their store. I LOVE the new location and so many ‘pretties’. I definitely treated myself

Great fun! Knowledgeable staff that made the purse making fun. Such a cool space, would highly recommend to others. My daughter and I made matching Chanel-ish purses that we will treasure forever to remind us of our wonderful trip to Paris.

What a great way to immerse yourself into the Parisian capitol of fashion and design! We set aside 3 hours for our daughter to create a custom Chanel bag under the careful supervision of such remarkabable assistants, Marinette, Marie and her mother and stitching professionals.
The store is a menagerie of design ideas -denim jackets, hats and bags.
And after days of city sightseeing, we looked forward to a brief reprieve from crowds, queues and stairs.
With the Summer Olympics coming soon, make your reservations in advance to save a spot.

Honestly terrible. Waste of money. Nothing is authentic, all VERY fake Chanel. Everything looks cheap

Well organized and professional. I came away with an enviable handbag and one of the best souvenirs from Paris. Materials provided in workshop were ++++ and so many options to customize. Thank you to all the staff at MiniMeLand!

I would not recommend Mini Me while you are in Paris. First, there were 12 of us to one single instructor trying to teach all of us how to make these bags. This instructor was also not very kind nor helpful and we had to constantly ask her what we should do or where we should find certain objects, rather than being guided through the experience. Additionally, it takes much longer than 3 hours, we ended up leaving around 1:20 pm after arriving at 9:00am. This was fairly frustrating as we had other plans that we had to reschedule. Finally, the experience was extremely expensive. Everyone that was in the class with us did not leave without spending an additional $150 on their bags -- with some people spending an additional 300 on their creations-- because the instructions were very unclear and the materials were not properly labeled. We ended up spending around $320 per bag after thinking the deposit would be close to enough to cover our creations. We did not have a great experience as it was more expensive than we were anticipating in addition to the fact that the staff was not helpful nor kind.

My 15 year old and I had a lot of fun. It starts a bit overwhelming and I would have loved to understand the entire process at the start vs. piece by piece (no pun intended). While we were waiting for class to start we looked at fabric and didn't understand the pricing...if they could say that at the getgo it would be easier and efficient. You pick the style of purse you want to make, fabric and then you get template to cut the pieces with a type of iron on interfacing. You then add to padding, put in foot-bottoms, etc. As others have said, cost can add up easily. We were overly mindful of it, and while we like our purses, they are not as "stylish" as we could probably have done. A couple things I would have loved to know in advance, so sharing here. The ground floor has a lot of large tables for their different classes and they have an entire (and very cool) basement area that includes lockers for your things. Everyone was really nice and we are glad we went.
