MAKER & OWNER

My leathercraft journey started in 2019 about 1 year after my father traumatically passed away. My father was a cobbler for over 30 years, and my interest in the craft was sparked during the many years spent at my mother and father’s shoe service and tailoring business. In 2022, my mother also passed away tragically which has pushed me even further in my craft. Honeybee Leatherworks was started as a tribute to my father, but now it’s a vessel for both of their legacies to live on. All goods produced by Honeybee Leatherworks take quality to the highest level and will accept nothing less.

In Loving Memory of Joseph & Susan Pappalardo
