Plz don't come if you don't want to ruin your day!…read more I've been to this shoe repair store three times, and unfortunately, my most recent visit was extremely disappointing due to the rude and unprofessional attitude of the staff member there. The boss was fine, but the staff was truly rude. Dealing with such a thing on Saturday literally ruined my weekend. Therefore, I wish to share the whole story with you guys here. On my third visit, I clearly told the staff that I didn't want to spend too much on an outsole replacement, since this particular pair of shoes only cost $95. I even said that if the cost was too high, I would prefer to buy a new pair. The staff assured me the job would be $35, which I agreed to. However, when I returned to pick up the shoes, I was suddenly told the price was $85. I felt helpless since there was no invoice given, and the service has already been done. When I questioned the change, the staff became rude and dismissive, showing a very negative attitude rather than calmly explaining the misunderstanding. It turns out the $35 quote was only for the heel--not the full sole replacement--which was never made clear to me. Thankfully, the boss stepped in and agreed to a $50 charge, which I accepted. But the damage was already done in terms of the experience. After the boss agreed on $50, the staff becomes even more rude to me. This is the reason why I would like to share this experience with everybody else to help your guys avoid such experience. What made this worse is that I had already been tolerant in the past. For example, during a previous service, the staff got black oil/dirt on my shoes which was a pair of brand new Saint Laurent sandals with retail price $770 dollars before tax, but I chose not to complain and continued to support the business. I expected a little more care and respect in return. Please refer to the attached pic for more details. After this last visit, I've lost trust in this store. I don't recommend going to a place where simple communication turns into conflict and customers are treated with such negativity. There are many other stores out there--choose one that values honesty and respectful service.

My favorite suede Coach loafers and no name leather boots are beauties once again!…read more They have both been to the cobbler more than once over the past 5 or 6 years, and they both get absolutely worn to death in the spring & fall. Ryan took two shoes on their last leg and gave me back what could be new out of the box shoes. The stains in the suede (bright green from I don't know what) are almost entirely gone, the holes (yes, actual holes) in the boots leather are patched and smoothed out, the leather is glossy, shiny and new and both of their soles are reinforced and looking great. We also brought in 3 pairs of birks or other suede shoes and had them cleaned to perfection. This is my second time using his services and I couldn't be happier. From cleanings to putting new heels on, my shoes never look better. And communication? 5 stars just for that. It's a super easy process: Drop off your shoes and leave contact info. Ryan will text you with photos, pricing, what can and can't be done before he gets started so you have full approval and knowledge. He'll let you know when they are ready and where to Zelle or pay with CC. And then you go and pick up! Easy. Good for the environment because we are not just throwing away something after a season of use, good for our wallets (5 pairs was around $200) and just good work. I'll absolutely be using his services again!

I was inspired to make a DIY journal cover and went here with no experience of leather working. They have a bin of scrap leather for purchase and some sale items. Sale items are on refundable. Minimum purchase is a whole hide or half hide for bigger ones. Their smaller hides are lamb skin which was around $50-60 bucks for a medium size. Their cow hide, they can do half hide which is what I did since it was so big. I got quite a few journal covers out of that as well as a couple passport holders.

If you're not willing to sell 3x5 leather fine, but don't be a huge a**hole about it.

The zipper on my cabin carry-on had jammed completely and I couldn't get the bag open or closed properly. I brought it in expecting to leave it for at least a few hours if not a day or two. Instead, the person helping me took a look, got to work, and had the zipper unstuck and running smoothly in about 15 minutes while I waited. What really impressed me is that he didn't just fix it, he showed me how to handle it myself if it ever happens again. His technique: overstuff the bag so the fabric draws out and the tension increases around the zipper track, then give the caught area a few firm flicks with the edge of a credit card. The added tension plus the flicking releases the fabric from the zipper teeth. Simple, clever, and the kind of trade knowledge you only get from people who have been doing this for a long time.

Then their sample sale rolled around last year in this clean, well lit store, and I conceded - this is beautiful, simple chic stuff. What's really impressive though is the construction. The two shirts I have from here seem hearty and lightweight at the same time. And their clean, simple lines and cuts are very flattering. I still think at full price it's a bit too expensive for what you're getting, but catch the stuff on sale and you'll have something you can wear for a while. One day, I'll be able to afford one of their jackets (even on sale, they're a bit ridiculous), but until then, I'm happy to oogle and shop for shirts on sale.

The unique project option for the night is where things got interesting. The making of a leather harness takes precise measurements, hardware know-how, and a bit of brute strength for the kind of hands-on techniques required to create your own wearable piece of art. What elevated the experience was the quality, knowledgeable hands-on guidance and helpful service. The instructor was patient, witty, and helpful as we turned strips of hide into the decorative and purposeful with tactile force. For a $50 investment, rather than purchasing a finished product, we acquired a new skill set and fashioned a market-ready piece that could readily fetch 3x the initial outlay for the instruction, use of tools and materials. Should you schedule the same, you'll leave with a piece you can actually use, plus a newfound respect for the patience and precision leatherwork demands. We spent a moody, maker centric eve, constructing a touch daring, totally satisfying, well-made leather project- a spicy little detour worth taking.
