VISIT US

Come and find us in Lobethal. 14a Main Street.

The door is open Wednesday to Saturday, 10 until 4.

Walk in and the leather smell finds you first. That is not accidental. It is full-grain hide, cut and worked in the same room you are standing in.

The space is split down the middle. To your right, the collection: notebooks, journals, bags and accessories laid out across long antique timber tables. Warm leather tones against light walls, cowhides on polished concrete, natural light pouring through the glass frontage. It is calm in there. Take your time.

To your left, the workshop. The long bench, the tools, the rolls of leather hanging along the back wall. The industrial sewing machine by the window, often running. This is not a display. It is where the work happens, and you are welcome to watch.

Keeping the workshop open to the space was a deliberate choice. The light was too good not to use, and the space asked for it. It also means Jess can work while you wander, and nobody feels the pressure of being watched over. Come in, look around, pick things up.

Everything on the shelf was made here. That is the whole point.

Embossing is available in store. Small group workshops also run from the space — follow along on Instagram or get in touch to find out what is coming up.
