Recently made custom bags with my daughter. We were the only ones there so we got a lot of attention but there wasn't so much actual work that we did, we chose fabrics and the craftspeople did 90% of the work. While our bags are a fun memory, it was 455 more euro than what we had already paid to book the class. So really the whole experience was almost 800 Euro for both of us. My daughter's magnetic clasp on her bag wasn't secured and this wasn't evident until we were back in the states and she tried to use it. It fell apart. So, a 400 euro custom bag is now worthless. I tried again and again to contact Minime through IG and email and she answered through IG but never through any email. I've been told I would get refunded for my daughter's bag but nothing has ever come through and it's a total scam. Spend your money elsewhere.
Our favorite experience on our trip. Ready to book another Paris trip just to visit this store again.
Me and my daughter had a wonderful time making a purse. Our instructor was so nice and helpful she really made the experience amazing. Our sewing helper Alex was amazing as well he helped my daughter and made it fun for her. I would recommend this experience to anyone going with a daughter or just with friends.
Thank you very much for your kindly comment. See you again with pleasure
C’est magnifique! This is an amazing experience. I was anxious going into it due to the mixed reviews. Honestly, it’s not for everyone. If you’re going to get a bag that is the same price or less of a mall brand and are only focused on price, sit this one out. The Champs-Élysées is for you. Allez-y! The experience at Minime is for artisans, craftsmen, and those who want the experience of having a couture bag made before your eyes in an atelier. I learned so much about what goes into fabricating a bag, and choosing my own fabrics, lining, metals, chain strap, and embellishments was so fun! They let you lock up valuables in a locker so you are free to work. You can participate in some of the fabrication and sit with a dressmaker while they execute the hard parts. Our class coordinator, Luna, was transparent about all additional costs and wrote it all on the order sheet as we went along, so as to avoid any confusion at the end. I spent an additional 238€ to get the perfect bag. They will do tax-free paperwork if you ask. You just have to go around the corner to their other store to have it completed.
Thank you for your kind feedback and the excellent explanations you provided. I’m going to hire you as a sales representative in the United States. We look forward to seeing you again. Marie and François
This experience was unique, from start to finish. I love crafts and this truly satisfied my creativity. There are 3 tiers of of fabrics; the first is what comes with this 🎟, but if you want more cute and unique patterns, accessories like a zipper, and pins/charms you have to pay more. You get size options as well and you're there to witness the purse making from start to finish! I had a ball. I ended up paying an extra 70€. Also, if you want a hard cover you need to come back at a later time to finish! The store is super cute and fun, you can make charm necklaces and bracelets too! This is my favorite souvenir!

It was an overall good experience but don’t expect to leave with a finished bag if you choose the big rigid model, I had to come back the next day and it wasn’t ready and I had to come come the day after as some stuff didn’t adhere together properly. The staff is amazing but they were lacking of skilled staff so the only one skilled was overwhelmed with work. And most of us spent some times during nothing. I’ll recommend but expect to stay longer than 3 hours and depending how fancy yuu want your bag you’ll have to add some money. I love my bag but I ended up adding a couple of hundreds more to create the bag I truly wanted. It was worth it as it’s unique and so beautiful but you just have to keep that in mind.
This was so much fun!! Highly recommend. We love our new bags! You will definitely use the whole time but if you are creative this is amazing.
This is experience was amazing! My daughter (22yrs old) and I had the best time creating our own bags with the help of incredible, fun and talented artists. We loved every minute of it. Can’t wait to go back. Moon was a fabulous teacher. We loved learning from her.
Loved every minute! Mona and her co workers have patience of saint! So helpful and creative! So many fabric choices! We had the best time! But we were there forever.. Our fault bc of all the choices!
Had an amazing time at MiniMe, Muna and Alex were both lovely - we were lucky that it was only me and my friend in this class - but the experience was brilliant - the team were amazing and helpful and allowed us to participate as much as we wanted to, and they did the parts we felt less comfortable doing. Were advised at all stages the costs, so there were no unexpected charges at the end
