ABOUT SOLE SURVIVOR: Sole Survivor uses timeless traditions to create contemporary and enduring leather goods designed to meet the needs of those who value individual workmanship. Our goods are strongly influenced by fashion, both modern and vintage. The retail shop offers a variety of belts and wallets, as well as unique bags, satchels, and footwear. Visitors can tour the workshop to see an impressive array of hand tools and machinery as well as the artists at work HISTORY: "Our adventures began in the late 60's and into the 70's following the Midwest arts and craft show circuit. The journey continued in St. Louis where, in 1985, Sole Survivor settled and opened shop in the Central West End.  Over the years, changes to the retail scene inspired a series of moves that eventually led us to Maplewood. Since January 2014 Sole Survivor has been happily settled in Maplewood.  We love it here! The community has  been so welcoming and supportive."
