Officially Closing My Doors – Not Forever, Just for Now

After many years of creating and sharing my work, I’m officially closing down my business.

This isn’t a scam, and it’s not a sad ending—it’s just part of my next adventure. I’ll be posting items from my remaining inventory, including:
• New-old backstock of handbags and accessories
• Bodices, leather armor, and RenFaire clothing
• Familiar pieces from NY Renaissance Faire, Steampunk events, and Comic Con

All sales will be final and sold as-is. Some items will be available for free, offered to the first person who can arrange pickup, delivery, or shipping (shipping costs to be discussed individually). If anything has imperfections, I’ll list that info up front.

Marisol and Jamie will also be posting some items on my behalf—they’re helping out and are fully legit.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported, shared, and cheered me on throughout the years. I’ve learned so much, and I carry that with me into what’s next.

Not forever—just for now. 💛

Farewell Lydia Pinkham Laboratories it was a wild ride. It is a bittersweet view as I close the door for the last time.
Onto the next chapter back at Joy Street Studios.

Full Circle- returning to familiar diggs

Hi All,
I just wanted to keep you all updated on what is going on in leather land :) Recently I have been lamenting my absence from the studio. It is no secret that a multitude of life events have contributed to my absence as well as the fact that the studio is no longer a convenient distance from my home and work.

I had been considering even shutting down the studio and putting most of it in storage to make due with a little space at home to work, but that quickly became an unviable situation.
Luckily I found a space closer to the house and a bit smaller and will be returning to the building of my first official studio.

The Lydia Pinkham Building was a wonderful home for these last 5 or 6 years but it is time to bring things back to basics.

Returning to Joy Street Studios feels a bit surreal; returning back to where it originally started but now with so much more experience under my belt. Walking back into the halls of that building was like coming home. The familiarity of the building and the memories of having a space in which to focus on creativity rather than on production is just what I have been missing.

Yes, I will still take custom orders from my website and you can always reach out to me for something in particular; however, my focus will be more on experimentation with new techniques, honing new skills and perfecting branding and marketing info.

Moving forward I am going to be slowing transitioning from Emporium Custom Leathers to the new brand " j.bradbury" over the next couple of years. My focus will be on more mainstream fine leather goods like Handbags, Messenger bags, wallets, belts and even ...shocker....some non-leather clothing!

In anticipation of this move from Lynn, MA back to Sommerville, MA, I will be downsizing. If I have any local friends that are interested in leather and or fabric, please stay tuned, as I will be randomly posting things for sale, and free to a good home.
If there is somethig specific that you think I might be getting rid of or something you might want to call dibs on if I decide to let it go, please feel free to reach out to me directly via pm, email or text.
