| We came to NW Arkansas in 1974 from Minneapolis.
Our first store was in Fayetteville, but in '75 we quickly resettled in
Eureka when a space became available. We loved Eureka Springs
and thought it had lots of potential, which definitely needed to be
developed. The original Nelson Leather Eureka site was one room without bathroom, heat, air conditioning or water; just lights & selling space. Back then we made most of our own leather goods, specializing in hand-tooled belts, purses, hats & caps, and gradually supplemented our stock with high profile lines like Birkenstock, Rockport & Cherokee. 34 Spring Street is our 3rd location in Eureka Springs, and we've been in this spot for over 16 years. Visually, this shop bears little resemblance to our starting point, but our formula for success in each location has been the same. |  |
We stand behind what we sell -- unique items from quality companies that offer value -- money well spent on functional, comfortable stuff that can last for years. We carry a large inventory year 'round, and a friendly, fun, informed staff ready to assist you. We could have been a chain but chose otherwise; deciding instead to focus on what we do best, creating an entertaining and fulfilling shopping destination for people of all ages visiting Eureka Springs. Much of our business comes from satisfied repeat customers. We enjoy talking with you when you visit our shop and want you to know we deeply appreciate your continuing support. YOU are why we're still doing this!
