Do you like to shop locally? Do you prefer to purchase items from small artisan designers? Do you still love the smell of real leather even though its not politically correct any more? Are you looking for a unique purse or belt that no one else has? If you answered Yes to these questions than you have to get down to Maplewood to see Steve at Sole Survivor. This little shop makes all of their own leather pieces and they are unique and lovely. From small cross body bags to large totes & satchels these bags are hand crafted and special. I had stopped in this shop over a month ago with my daughter and she found a bag she really liked. I returned yesterday to purchase the bag for her birthday. If you have experience with fine leather goods you know they aren’t cheap. This shop is no exception. You will not find cheap bags or belts here but top quality stuff that will last a lifetime is you take care of your purchase. The store is in Maplewood not in the Loop anymore so don’t be confused by the info you may see in the description. If you need a special & unique gift for a non vegan friend or loved one check out Sole Survivor.
