I stopped into The House of Leather by pure chance, and it turned into one of the most genuinely…read morewarm and wholesome experiences I've had in over a decade. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed like we weren't just customers, but people Maria was genuinely happy to see. The owner, who has been working with leather for over 50 years, has a kindness and sincerity that you just don't come across anymore. What started as browsing quickly turned into something special. She invited us into her workshop, shared stories about her craft and life, and even took the time to teach my wife how to braid leather bracelets using scrap pieces she had on hand. You could feel how much it meant to her to pass on what she knows. This isn't just a shop, it's a place built on passion, community, and genuine human connection. While we were there, locals stopped in just to chat, bring her things, and check in. That alone tells you everything about the kind of person she is. Every piece is handmade, often from leftover leather so nothing goes to waste. I ended up with a bracelet made from scrap off a custom belt, and it's something I'll value far beyond just how it looks. She also offers hat sizing and will adjust or customize leather items right there on the spot, which is something you almost never see anymore. You don't just leave with something you bought, you leave with a story and a memory. I haven't felt that kind of genuine warmth in a very long time. If you're anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and stop in. Places and people like this are rare.

He ended up getting a few collard shirts that were only $15 each and a pair of jeans for $20, that he was pretty happy with. The store is organized and clean, everyone in there is just looking to assist you and make sure that you have what you are looking for. BTW there is always clearance in the back, that is were we always start! Otherwise 50% off there whole store only brings an item to about $40-$50, that's out of our range.

This place is something else. I stop by or get dragged here by a friend every few months, only to…read moreget reminded on why we stop going for months at a time. Everywhere you look there's a mess of stuff all over the floors, piled high in the back and outside. I am surprised they haven't been shut down because some of it is a serious fire hazard. The three older women who appear to run it are always out back smoking and chatting and barely pay attention to customers. They will actually get mad when they have to go to the front of the store and cash someone out, and seem to prefer you give them cash in the parking lot which seems very questionable for a nonprofit. They're constantly paying "metal" music like it's the 80s and have weird satanic looking posters up front. The food pantry corner had flies all over the food like no one cleans it. Parking is abysmal and unorganized. They have posted operating hours of 10am - 5pm daily but do not always open at 10. The last time we stopped recently was around 11:15am. We were turned away by an older man taking out garbage who said nobody was there to open and he didn't know what was going on. He seemed very upset about that, and also grumbling about how much cleaning he was doing to prepare the store for whenever "the girls" decide to show up. He did not look well and probably shouldn't have been moving so much stuff. After waiting for a little longer my friend and I and about a dozen other people that were waiting outside just left. And once again we were reminded on why this is no longer an essential stop. It's very unorganized, unprofessional, and they just don't seem to care. Save yourself a headache and a possible wasted trip and skip this dump of a thrift store. I would rate it negative stars if I could.

Designers such as Eva Lendel, Wona, Pronovius, Justin Alexander, Francesca, and Randy Fenoli (featured on the show Say Yes to the Dress) are all here with multiple selections from their lines. Some of these styles are not available anywhere up here and would require a trip to NYC. They also have trunk shows scheduled where designers send their latest styles for a limited time giving the bride an opportunity to sample the newest fashion trends. Owner Jessica has years of experience in Bridal and fashion retail and doesn't try to push you into a dress, rather she finds the dress that fits your body shape and style. She has a good eye and a great sense of style. Fittings are by appointment only, but you get the one on one attention that you need for your big day. High fashion, custom dresses without the hassle of the big city. Highly recommended.
