Shopping: Leather

Calling all watch lovers! San Diego-based leather company DaLuca Straps recently opened a storefront and workshop in the historic Mission Brewery Plaza. Founder Daniel Luczak, 27, began collecting watches when he was a kid. A passion soon emerged. Today the company’s bestsellers include custom-made belts and watch straps designed with material from vintage European ammunition pouches. Most everything is crafted right in the shop, so the next time you’re in the area, stop by and get a tour. It might just up your style a notch. Open Monday to Friday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m., Saturday by appointment; 2150 West Washington Street, Middletown
