Tricks of the Trade

Learned of this business 15 years ago when I first became interested in leather crafting. While it would have been more financially advantageous to suggest I let them do the work, Wayne actually looked over my design, gave a few tips and helped me pick out materials. Through the years they have been a source of supply and have done some absolutely magnificent (and creative) repair work on leather jackets. I highly, highly recommend them for any leather needs. While I recently moved from the area, I look forward to my return to Northern Virginia and being able to once again frequent this store.

This business apparently has relocated to:
101 East Main Street, Suite 105
Berryville, VA 22 611
540−955−3565
Murphy missed the point.
This husband and wife team are a «dying» breed of artisans that hand craft leather goods for the horse trade (we’re not horse owners) and other leather goods such as belts, wallets, and dog leashes.
They also repair virtually anything made of leather: shoes, luggage, handbags, etc. They do all the work themselves right in their shop, not like the Korean Dry Cleaners that send the stuff out.
We were so impressed with the quality of workmanship that we bought his and hers belts, and a dog leash. Wayne Groves fitted the belts to each of us and put on some finishing touches. The belts also were hand braided on the ends where the hardware was and the hand-​loop, not riveted.
Highly recommend if you have quality leather goods that need to be repaired, or if you are in the market for quality leather goods.
