Simon and his team are warm, patient, and extremely knowledgeable about their craft. Their passion was evident through Simon, who told us about his history, demonstrated the leather braiding, and showed us his whip-cracking skills. Our participants also got to engage hands-on, making their own leather coasters to remember the trip. I would highly recommend visiting their store and saying hello to Simon and his team. NDISatWise
