handmade leather shop
Description
This is a family-run leather operation where the shoes are made on-site, not shipped in from somewhere else. They’ve been known to invite visitors behind the scenes to watch the whole process from scratch, which is either a great afternoon or a rabbit hole you don’t escape for three hours (both outcomes are fine).
Buying direct from the factory keeps prices lower than the retail shops scattered around the old town. Quality holds up, and the turnaround is quick for custom work.
The family does the making and the selling themselves, so you’re talking to the people who actually built your shoes. That changes the conversation.
