SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Local Branch, a handcrafted leather goods and apparel brand, is closing its Saratoga Springs storefront at 447 Broadway on November 30.
“Sometimes things don’t go as you hoped or planned,” the owners wrote in a Facebook post announcing the closure. “We could say it was inflation or an election year, maybe there is too much competition. I’ll never know, but I’m glad we tried.”
The Local Branch also has a brick and mortar location in the Finger Lakes, which will remain open. The company, founded in 2009, crafts leather and canvas goods in small batches by hand. To learn more, visit their website at https://thelocalbranch.co/.
