Jennifer Cordell and her husband, Jody, established 406 Leather in the Times Square Building in November. Jody frequently travels out of state for his profession, but leatherworking is his true passion. Their objective is to create a successful business centered on custom leatherwork, with the hope that it will eventually enable Jody to remain at home rather than traveling as much.
The store offers a distinctive blend of Jody’s leather creations alongside vintage home decor. They feature a variety of consignment items, including artwork, horse tack, and glassware, as well as some antiques, including antique Singer sewing machines. Furthermore, the establishment collaborates with local vendors who produce their own goods. These include an artisan who specializes in lip balms, two individuals who craft earrings, and a vendor from Ancestral Botanicals who offers tallow products.
Jennifer and Jody are committed to promoting local talent by providing vendors with the opportunity to maintain a consistent presence in the marketplace rather than limiting their offerings to seasonal farmers’ markets.
Jody has displayed several leather pieces within the store, though the majority of his work is focused on custom orders. “I believe as far as the leather work goes, my husband is very particular and takes real pride in putting out a quality custom product,” explained Jennifer. “It’s nothing like anyone else would have. It’s created specifically to their desires and needs. He has a lot of passion behind what he does.”
406 Leather is distinguished by its commitment to offering quality vintage and western items at accessible prices. Their goal is to create an environment where anyone can enter, discover something they love, and affordably take it home. Additionally, they are pleased to provide a platform for local vendors to showcase their talents.
