A Building Full of History
The Lincoln Commissary
The home of our retail shop was originally built in 1926 as a general store, gymnasium, and theater for the Lincoln Mill district. The mill district began operation in 1892 as Alabama’s largest cotton mill and mainly produced cotton sheeting through dying and bleaching cotton and woolen goods.

The General Store
The 1927 Cotton Mill General Store Is now home to Holtz Leather Co. Employees, who were often called “lint heads,” were provided homes, Medical care, churches, library, lodge building, YMCA, concerts, and schools. We currently produce all of our fine leather goods in the space Above the general store, which was used as a gym to the Lincoln School.

The Day Before We Opened
It’s an unforgettable moment… An image which will stay burned into our memory. A sweet mountain top moment, experienced after the pain of some deep dark valleys. To any of you who find yourself deep in the valley… cling to the ONE who shepherds our hearts.

From Then To Now
Experience the wonderful aroma and feel of fine leather firsthand.
Unique experiences only offered in our retail store.
Watch your initials get debossed into your new wallet, smell our hand-poured candles, feel the unique markings of a branded leather backpack, and possibly meet the Holtz family in person. These moments, along with special events, are what make our retail experience unique.

We hope to see you soon!
