I totally agree with Niki that Frances Jaye is like an even more unique Madewell. The vibe is super…read morecool but not so cool that I felt uncomfortable there. I didn't really browse the clothing but I could tell that the things I saw looked well-made and fashionable. A quick check of the Frances Jaye website let me know that they appreciate and support sustainable and ethical brands, which is always awesome to see. The prices may be higher than your average mall, but you get what you pay for. They have men's and women's clothing, accessories, home goods, cards, books, and gift items. I particularly loved the Holland shirts that were modern and stylized. I ended up buying a fancy wick trimmer as we seem to have a surplus of candles these days, as well as two cute holiday cards featuring cat illustrations, because #crazycatlady I loved this little shop and will absolutely stop in every time I'm in the area!

This store is my dream closet…read more It's essentially an even-more-unique Madewell, with carefully curated items. Everything is a bit pricey, but it's clearly well-made and styled. They have amazing jewelry, clothes, and accessories here. I got a really cute star choker that I wear constantly. I always stop in this store when we're visiting downtown Holland but haven't been able to purchase anything else.

The hotel contacted this clothier and the owner happen to be in and although he didn't open till 10:00 he allowed him to come in to purchase pants. He also took the time to alter them all within 30 minutes. We were able to get to our scheduled meeting with no disruption. A truly great business owner!

When it comes to leather goods Leo is the man to see. I brought him my 20-year-old Shirling jacket…read morethat needed some repairs. Not only did Leo amazingly fix those repairs but a couple of others we talked about together. And I could swear we never talked about he just found and fixed. My jacket is back in great condition. I had a little hole on the sleeve, where a fence or something have snagged me, the string to one of the pockets was broken and the zipper inlay, we're a little loose due to previously being fixed somewhere else a long time ago. I couldn't be happier Leo fixed the jacket up great . Leo is the best. I have been back to Leo with some other leather good, belts and a satchel. I got some leather conditioner from him and learned a little bit about taking care of my leather goods. If You need a leather item fixed or you're looking for a leather coat Leo is definitely the man to see! His prices are unbeatable, great value.

My experience with Leo was a very good one! I had an all saints leather jacket where I accidentally…read moredamaged the zipper. He did an amazing job repairing it and only charged me $40. It was ready within a week. Very nice man to on top of that!

It was a rainy and kinda slick trip along LSD but I figured it would be worth it as their reviews seemed favorable. The hours posted on the website were 1-6pm. I was ten minutes early. I parked in front and waited. 1pm. The gates stay closed and locked, the shop lights remained dark. 1:10...1:15...1:30pm and no life was stirring in the shop. I look hard through the continuing downpour at the window and I see paper taped inside. I get out and DAMN! (*see picture attached*) The website made no mention of 'on-line service only'. Now I know. And now YOU know too. Not really gonna trust a shop that keeps their website up leading customers to believe they're open when they know darn well they aren't. Moving on..

My family has made return trips to this store for over 20 years. It's not a fancy store, but it's…read morepacked with so much and there's a large variety of leathers - coats, vests, suits and jackets. They specialize in custom-wear so naturally being a dressy connosier, I took a shot for my cousin's wedding dress being custom made since I have bought numerous leather items from them in the past (but never in clothing). Abe, helped us understand the dress making process; informing us about the different designs, handwork and fabrics. 3 weeks go by and I got the call that the dress has had arrived. I must say I am very much impressed not only with the quality but that I only paid $650 dollars out the door. I wish them success in their new venture and will recommend to anyone in Chicago looking for custom dresses, bridesmaid dresses and even bridal gowns!
