We have leather jackets and wool goose down brand names like Michael Kors, Guess, Kenneth Cole, North Face and Neiman Marcus. We have jackets that range from $99 to $400.

Do your jackets change by season?
We have lighter weight jackets in the spring. And we’ll sell some handbags in the summer.

How is the Leather Boutique unique for the community?

We’re strictly an outerwear store, so I don’t think there are any other stores that are strictly like that. Some carry seasonal items, but we do this all year-round.
