Trilogy Leather is a shop owned by cousins Tony Pardi and Sam Sicola offering handmade leather goods and leather repairs. It is located in Homewood's Edgewood neighborhood at 1001 Oxmoor Road, on the corner of Broadway Street.
Pardi and Sicola started the business in Sicola's basement in 1972. In 1973, they opened their store in Edgewood. The store's interior is paneled in wood taken from a barn the two tore down. The two can make any standard leather good, such as handbags, briefcases, luggage, belts, and wallets. Trilogy also has exotic leathers avaiable, such as shark skin, snake skin, and buffalo hides. The store also sells products to clean and protect leather items.
Early on, the two would spend weekends traveling to craft shows to sell their handmade goods. Once they started doing repair work, the store was better able to sustain itself and they started limiting their travel only to bigger shows. They have also been known to have a booth at City Stages.
