Beautiful leather goods store. The gentleman owner is very knowledgeable, and himself handcrafts leather products in the store with his workstation right next to the cashier. They also have some glassware, ceramics and wooden products, all handcrafted locally. Definitely worth a visit if youre in the area.

Absolutely incredible store - quality is excellent, prices are better. Went in this morning and found the leather cuff I’d been dreaming about for years - even better, it was too big and the owner customized it for my wrist. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Bonus - the owner is very knowledgeable about Mendocino history and can teach you a lot!

Super friendly owner, and a great variety of wares by local artisans. I love the ceramic mug and leather bound notebook that I purchased. Will gladly go back again whenever I come to visit.

Amazing leather and wood shop featuring goods from local artisans. Ran by a father and son, who both specialize in their own goods. We really loved the boxes, but ultimately walked out with a nice leather belt. Came back a different day to get the mini vase. It's worth a stop if you're in the area.

IMHO I always make it a point to visit this charming store when shopping in Mendocino village. First of all, it has the word LEATHER in its name!!! I love leather goods and it smells so good when you walk in! This was the first time I purchased a leather item and it made me so happy! I was searching for a small crossbody purse that would simply hold my cell phone and my ID/credit card. I found it and it came in many different colors to choose from. Of course, I chose basic black! Come visit! You'll also find pretty glassware and other lovely items to check out! My friend found some leather thimbles for her sewing needs! Customer service was extremely friendly, fun and sociable! Thank you, Ed!

Ed was able to work with me on the spot to craft this beautiful leather bracelet to attach this affirming charm plate that my wife bought me for Christmas. He's a delightful person to engage with too.

I love Ed's work. He customized my purse to exactly what I need and want. I have it now for now 4 years, and it's accompanying me to this life's adventure!!! And it gets more and more beautiful with time. Not many things in this world is like that anymore.

Ed O'Brian has been hand crafting leather goods in Mendocino for 50 years! His belts, bags, book covers and decorative boxes last a lifetime! He also sells a variety of beautiful gifts including hand blown glass, jewelry and fancy soaps. Stop by and say hi, he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet.
