It’s the only retail leather craft store we know of in our approximate area. It’s located on the south side of Lorain Ave. and west a couple of blocks of the West Side Market (Ohio City/ Great Lakes Brewery area of downtown Cleveland.) Nearby trees hide the red and white sign. The store is wedged between two other old stores and sits back off the street with the dirt parking lot between the storefront and the street. It has the appearance more of an old warehouse than a retail store. Of course, this is fitting for the old fashioned look of Ohio City. With the preservation of this area and the old stores, this could be a secondary event outing for a tribe on a Saturday morning!
This appears to be an old Mom & Pop style store. (Don’t believe they have a Website.)
