I originally found this store in college, when I spotted a brown leather knapsack in the window. That was about ten years ago and that knapsack is still going strong. This store produces leather bags, wallets, purses, and other accessories of such a fantastic quality, anything you get here is an investment.
Since moving to their Great Jones Street location, they have also added a studio to the back of the store. There, you can pick your fabric and have anything custom made to your specifications. A product of such a collaboration for me was a beautiful, paprika colored hobo bag of incredibly supple leather. I was able to choose the fabric, cut, and precise hardware I wanted and it came out to $250, making it an unbelievable value.
