After going to an alterations shop that said they couldn't sew on the strap of my faux leather…read morebackpack, I found RM Leathers on Yelp. They used to have a brick & mortar shop, but they now work from the back shed of their house. At first, I was hesitant when I saw that the business was in a residential neighborhood. When we pulled up, there was a "RM Leathers" sign on the mailbox and front door. I called and said I was there and the owner came out to meet me. I brought my husband because I wasn't sure what to expect, but when owner Teo opened the door, we realized that he's my husband's friend from soccer. Such a small world! Teo (pronounced tay-o -- Greek name), is SO sweet, efficient, and talented. He took only thirty minutes to sew the straps back on my backpack. He's affordable and you can call or text him to drop-off or pick-up items. Him and his wife run this business, creating leather jackets for motorcyclists. They attend a lot of conferences around the country to mend leather for these riders. It was such an unexpectedly great experience and I've already recommended him to a few friends! He has a sweet family and I love giving my money to deserving people like this fam!

RM Leathers = Miracle Workers!…read more I unfortunately spilled salad dressing (OIL) on my beloved Frye boots. I live in Chicago and went to three leather specialists who told me there was no hope. I called Frye and they said there's nothing that can be done w/o ruining the leather (seriously your boots are $500 and you can't help me - but that's another story). A friend told me about RM Leathers and I happened to be going to Indy for the holidays. Teo & Liz are true professionals and won't steer you wrong. Teo was very thorough in explaining that they'd clean and treat the stain - my boots are BEAUTIFUL - no stain! And their prices are very reasonable - they saved my boots when others told me it was a lost cause.

This year I must have been extra specially good because I received a beautifully handcrafted photo…read moreart bag from ReFind Originals for Christmas. The craftsmanship of this bag is exceptional and it's obvious that creator Anita Hopper has put a lot of thought and care into making this one-of-a-kind bag. The particular photo art bag I received was from the Indiana Elements collection. These bags are a mother and son collaboration. The imagery found on these bags are from photos the son has taken on journeys throughout Indiana. The artwork is stunning almost as if it were hand painted onto the leather. Not only is the outside wonderfully made but the inside is just as gorgeous with lovely pocket details, high quality fabric, brass hardware features and plenty of space to put all of your stuff in. I appreciate that this bag is not only one of a kind but it's locally made using up-cycled re-purposed leather and fabrics. I absolutely LOVE this bag and as a lover of all things Indy this was the perfect gift anyone could give me. Looking for yet another unique gift option from Refind, consider this.... If your thinking about getting rid of an old leather jacket Anita offers a custom service option where you can contact her to have that old worn out item transformed into a new beautiful one-of-a-kind accessory. Think grandpas old Army jacket, your sisters jacket you bedazzled when you were kids, dads motorcycle club jacket, your husbands old punk rock jacket, the jacket Bon Jovi tossed your way while singing "Born To Be My Baby" at that concert you sneaked out to see in 1988...the options are endless. Details found here: http://www.refindoriginals.com/keepsake-and-custom. Note: These bags can be found at Homespun or for purchase on her website.

I adore the positive messages and the fact that many of the cuffs are made using reclaimed, antique copper pieces, and recycled leather. It's always such a joy to visit with the makers at local events around Indy while adding to my ever growing collection.

If only all local businesses operated with such integrity and positivity... Thank you!

In 2014, after a year of staring at a 100 year old piece of copper guttering that was given to her with the mandate 'to go create something', she meshed her love of words and her love of leather cuffs and created The Handmade Society. Now a resident maker in the Ruckus Makerspace in Indianapolis, Martine creates one of a kind, made to order leather cuffs using verdigris copper, preferably reclaimed, to stamp/etch or carve inspirational, thought provoking words and messages into the metal.

Inhale and you can't help but breathe in the unmistakable fragrance of leather. It smells amazing!…read moreAll around you are crafts that are made on-site in every color with expert cutting, stitching, embossing, and staining. If it can be made from leather, I think they have it. I hadn't planned on stopping in, but on a whim we visited. I looked down at my belt, falling apart and with holes that I'd poked with an awl to make it fit and decided I needed a new one. Their custom belt offerings were great with a range of sizes, buckles, finishes, etc. Jacob worked quickly and professionally to attach the snaps, hammer the holes to my particular fit and cut to length. So now I have a bespoke replacement that will probably last decades. The price was much higher, but you get what you pay for! Great shop! Friendly, personable service!
