Program

1. A welcome drink at the ArtisainT by Lena Lumelsky showroom 🕒 20 min
We start with introduction to Latvian-Belgian designer Lena Lumelsky and leather artisan Lana Laukkanen. The Latvian brand ArtisainT was created in collaboration with Belgian designer Lena Lumelsky, a graduate of the renowned Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. Her admirers include Queen Rania of Jordan, Hollywood actress Rooney Mara, singer Demi Lovato, actress and director Renata Litvinova, and other international style icons. Rather than following seasonal trends, the brand creates timeless garments and accessories designed to be treasured for years. In addition to clothing, the brand offers unique leather accessories — bags, berets, gloves, belts, harnesses — as well as jewelry crafted from leather and mixed materials, including rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets.

2. A demonstration of the keychain-making process at the ArtisainT atelier 🕒 120 mins
Be our guest not only in the studio, but also come into our production facility, where beautiful things
are created from the very beginning to the finished work of art. Where you will select materials and
design for your custom keychain, but we will do the rest.

3. Your finished keychain can be collected the following day or conveniently shipped anywhere in the
world 🕒

Steph, our guide, was absolutely brilliant. Picked us up from our hotel and told us all about Riga on the commute to and from the bobsleigh track. The g-force bobsleigh was amazing (it feels like a roller-coaster) and we didn't have to wait long. There's also an observation deck where you can view the national park. The only downside was an error by the office staff overcharging us for the experience, which put a downer on the day, as I was told I wasn't able to do the bobsleigh unless we paid more. This was eventually resolved by the owner when he apologised for the error and confirmed no further payment was needed. I advise you pay the balance in full before the trip to avoid incompetent staff trying to overcharge you.
