I have absolutely loved every single thing I have purchased from Strey Designs - and every…read moreexperience with Sarah (owner/founder/maker etc.) has been fantastic. I first found Strey Designs at an art show almost 2 years ago and splurged on one of her Ragamuffin backpacks - and I have used it nearly every day since and it looks even more amazing than the day I got it as the leather has become softer and developed even more character. Since my first purchase - I have become a frequent visitor to Strey Designs studio at Northrup King Building. I worked with Strey on designing a custom bag (picking out my specific leathers/fabric/strap combos) and it was so fun to visit the studio. Through visiting the studio Sarah explained her design and manufacturing process, helped me understand how the various leathers will age, leather care, how to use all of the adaptable straps many of her bags offer and I was able to really witness the immense passion she has for her product. My Strey Designs collection is constantly growing - as I've now purchased 3 backpacks, a wallet and a few other accessories. I constantly get compliments from strangers and friends asking me about my bags. This company has amazing design and unbelievable quality - 150% would recommend any of their products!

We were perusing her beautiful leather bags for something that'd work for our son (w/Muscular Dystrophy who uses a wheelchair full time). After hearing his needs, she offered to custom make a small bag for him. She made recommendations that would not only accommodate his physical needs, but add durability & masculine touches. The bag just arrived in the mail & we could not be more thrilled! We would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for quality workmanship at reasonable prices. It's obvious to see, her heart is in all that she makes:)

I guess my questionable mountaineering skills must have made him nervous! Heimie's hero was just the Sherpa guide I needed for my mini-Everest expedition. I can't thank him enough for helping, especially since he wasn't even wearing any winter gear...just his fancy shmancy suit. Heimie's snowbank conqueror was so impeccably dressed that I'm sold on purchasing a bow tie here for my six-year-old nephew very soon. He will be going on his first official chaperoned ice cream date with a young lady determined to marry him in the future, and he specifically requested a bow tie for the event. Clearly there is a lot at stake for this very serious date, so he will need a dapper tie that is sure to impress! No pressure, Heimie's, no pressure.

You can get a straight razor shave or a traditional men's fedora. With a bit of notice, they can tailor clothes or fix a torn shirt/suit. I think they even sell cigars. I spent about 30 mins looking at shirts/pants/ties (!!!), got a few recommendations, and made my purchases. Heimie's has a good selection of high quality men's clothing at reasonable prices. The staff could not possibly have been nicer. It's unlikely I'll ever need to come back but I wouldn't hesitate to do so.
