Update June 2021: Michael has kept my money, has not sent the purse and no communication. Please be careful before buying from them.*. Im out money and out purse.*. They wont make it right or communicate. Get your purse and leather products elsewhere! My experience 2021was not nearly like the amazing first experience I had in 2017. For one thing Im not getting a response back about a product that failed to meet my expectations. I bought the crossbody bag expecting the trademark deep smooth sleek glossy leather. Instead I got a bag that looked like the leather had been wrinkled up and then smoothed over. I contacted the company by email a couple of days ago and have heard nothing. They also have no phone number so I feel frustrated. Typically their leather is thick, glossy, with beautiful coloring. Having a purse with a wrinkled appearance is not what I had hoped for at all. And I hope that they will make it right. Ill update this review if changes happen with the company.

Went there at noon on a Friday and they were closed

A comprehensive list of products that always exceed my expectations:1. Black Bear Leather2. END OF LIST

Quality. Great to see this vendor in DC. Have picked up a number of products, always well made.

The leather working class was a relaxed and enjoyable evening. Michael and Angela had everything prepared for a beginner like me.

Great belts, great service, places like this are why I shop local first.

Cancelled First Friday event that was advertised with no notice. Showed up and wasn’t welcomed. Place was a mess. Pretty disappointing and I would not recommend.

Wow!
