In the Accessory Studio, accessory-related subjects are taught, where students can gain basic knowledge of shoe technology, bag technology, materials, leatherworking techniques, and machines. In addition, specialized projects are carried out in the accessory studio, which deal with headwear and gloves.

The studio has a specialized library where you can familiarize yourself with the latest issues of Collezioni Accessori magazine, the latest (Brunner) leather samples, and trade show materials. Students can use six mannequin torsos and a selection of different shoe lasts. Students have the opportunity to purchase leather from the accessory and binding design material store for their specialized projects at cost.

During non-lecture hours, the studio is open to students for independent work. Machines are used for teaching purposes. Those outside the department who wish to use the facilities must contact the workshop master and agree on the conditions of use.
