Meet One of the Makers: Greg Wise
We had the pleasure of catching a sneak peek from one of the featured vendors, Greg Wise, owner of Wise Leatherworks and Jewelry. This family-run business offers handmade leather products that are truly timeless and high quality. Greg is passionate about his craft, and it shows in every piece he creates.
From beautifully designed wallets to intricately crafted jewelry, Greg’s products have a touch of elegance and durability that sets them apart from mass-produced items. “I love creating unique pieces that can be cherished for a lifetime,” he shared with enthusiasm.
