Sandast

For durable handcrafted leather goods with a whiff of the old world and a time-worn feel, head to this brand's brick-walled Downtown studio; the sturdy belts, travel bags, briefcases and wallets are made with vegetable-tanned skins, natural materials and brass hardware imported from Europe and assembled by artisans in LA, and it's all displayed amid vintage trunks, cash registers and ephemera.
