Location: Tamarindo, Costa Rica
After 5 successive profitable years the owner of this retail store has decided to return to the US. Payback period is under 2 years! Ideally located on the high foot traffic main street just yards from Tamarindo beach this small retail store sells beautiful and unique works of art crafted with skins recycled from canneries and farms. These skins are expertly crafted into all manner of higher end accessories, such as purses, wallets, handbags and shoes. The durability and quality of the Ocean Leather Collection by Jean Charles has to be seen to be appreciated. Skins used are Atlantic and Pacific salmon, stingray, sharkskin, Nile perch and sea snake, among others.
The Ocean Leather Collection has its roots in France, where the ancient craft of tanning skins of cod and Atlantic salmon was revived some 25 years ago.
The store is eco-friendly and environmentally sensitive. None of the sources of raw material are endangered or protected under CITES (Convention of International Trade of Endangered Species), and are approved by the US fish and wildlife service.
The business is well run and all permits, rental agreement, financials and taxes are in order. Financials available to qualified buyers. Asking price may vary by +-$5000 depending on the inventory level at the time of purchase. Priced to sell.
