John W. Hulme

One of the best vendors for eye candy at last week's Pop Up Flea was J.W. Hulme's leather goods.

The company goes way back to 1905, when John Hulme got into the business of making tents for the upcoming war.

The century brought many direction changes and owners, but through good fortune the fine folks at J.W.H. are still making quality leather goods in Minnesota today.The collection now includes canvas sporting bags, hunting bags, business travel bags, as well as women's hand bags.

It was hard to get a really close look since lots of people were huddled around, getting a look at the goods. But the leather wallets, passport covers, and leather totes were a sight to behold.

How about this beauty for your next weekend getaway?
