The location in downtown Halifax is a stone's throw away from the harbour. We were greeted warmly by the gentleman who we later learned was the owner and designer of the leather products.
There is a wide selection of items from keychains to wristbands to wallets to pocketbooks and travel bags.
We went in looking for nothing in particular and came out with a couple of leather bracelets.
Al-M, the owner, was most congenial and patient. He was informative, not pushy.
What made this store different from other similar stores is Al-M, of course.
The following day, we revisited the store to get yet another wristband.
Al-M welcomed us like were old friends. Yes, being friendly always helps a business but he seemed truly sincere.
He gave my friend a very good price for one of the carry-on bags which was very handsomely crafted.
When we left, we felt he added to our Halifax vacation.
