What started with the concept of the perfect leather bag has expanded to a 4,000-square-foot shop. Locally owned W Durable Goods moved to a new location in the West 7th district. On Nov. 2 husband-and-wife duo Daniel and Stephanie Wright said so long to their original location near the Stockyards and opened the doors to a new brick-and-mortar, which houses retail, a workshop and manufacturing space. In addition to their handmade leather, W Durable Goods now carries other artisan brands including delicate embroidered linens from Brooklyn-based Coral & Tusk, desk accessories from Appointed out of D.C. and wool hats from Los Angeles-based Monsivais & Co. W Durable Goods is located at 901 Foch St. Normal store hours will be Tuesday-Thursday, 11 a.m. – 7 p.m., and Friday-Saturday, 11 a.m. – 9 p.m.
