There are a few things that Jp Avila loves — chocolate, design, and quality craftsmanship. Cocoa is the embodiment of all of these as expressed through leatherworking. Enjoy this unique collection of leather household items and men’s accessories reflective of a modern life with style.
As far as Jp can remember, he’s always been a creator. As a child he created drawings and designs for print and 3D pieces that told the stories of people and places. He would later develop those skills of storytelling and collaboration through his work in journalism, design, teaching, non-profits, art, and now, leather working.
