" We wanted to create a men's store
in a city lacking options for quality
handmade products. "
- Jacob Zepf, co-owner of Freehand Goods
They opened the original storefront on Feb. 1, 2017,
and the second store on Nov. 1, 2019. Both Seth and Jacob

M
ore and more, customers are looking for retail
experiences that offer merchandise with a
story and purpose. They are also looking to
shop where there is a sense of community.
Two retailers in Orlando, Florida, are offering unique
made in the USA items that truly hone in on a sense of
community. Each shop creates a majority of its own
merchandise, which is then paired with product from
select vendors to curate an ideal mix for customers
who desire home-grown product, experiences, a story
and uniqueness.

Jacob Zepf and Seth Daniels embarked on an artistic
journey that started with Seth creating custom
leatherwork in his garage for family and friends. Jacob
and Seth then decided to work together to offer popup
stores at events in and around Orlando. The pop-up
experience led to the opening of Freehand Goods, a
brick-and-mortar store in 2017 at the East End Market in
the Audubon Park Garden District of Orlando.
This location is one of Orlando's most recognizable
gardens and offers visitors a multitude of retail stores
and restaurants known for their amazing cuisine. " Our
neighborhood has it all and we are very thankful to be
in the area we are. We are lucky enough to be inside East
End Market which is a community hub for the entire
neighborhood, " said Jacob.

Freehand Goods is a store with truly all American-made
goods that both Jacob and Seth are extremely involved in
creating. " Our products are unique because they are all
completely handmade by Seth or I, " shared Jacob. " On
any given day you can walk into either of our stores and
see us making the leather goods, or pouring the candles.
We use the highest quality materials to make products that
last a lifetime. "
The store does carry some items not handcrafted from
the duo. Outside vendors include United By Blue, Opinel,
Field Notes and Oxford Pennant. " We feel these are
complimentary products to the ones we make in the
shops, " Jacob said.
Overall the curated merchandise mix includes leather
wallets, cardholders, belts and accessories, along with
all natural grooming products for men, Florida-centric
