Motorcycle Leatherworks...a

successful new business

Mark Esola, the owner of Motorcycle Leatherworks on U.S. 211, hung out his flags and signs just over a year ago and wondered if he could make a living here. A retired U.S. Army veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, Mark decided that Sperryville, a peaceful mountain foothills village, would be the next place that he would call home and where he would try his hand at business. Just a year later, Mark now has leather work orders for two or more months ahead. I.ifce all new businesses, this one is not without it’s struggles, but Mark now has a solid business footing in the community. One of his newest products has proven very popular. Mark makes custom leather halter tops with removable under wire cups. This is a basic design which he has significantly improved and sells very well. As before, stop in to say hello to Mark. This is a man with many stories to tell and he loves to talk. Condolences to the Estes Family
