After questioning the work, because jeweler had not reshaped the out of round ring before joining the rings, the owner said they would not do that. Yet, that is exactly what the jeweler did. Yes, the owner did ask more than once to return to the store, so he could see the completed product. There had been many pictures sent with my communications. He would still be using the same jeweler (retired works ad lib when orders placed). Documentation of job orders, pictures, yet no acknowledgment work was not done properly. Other communications poor. I have my rings; I paid my bill. Will proceed with correction of work elsewhere.

It is right next door to Coach so definitely hard to make decisions but like I said Kate Spade has more of a unique edge over the competition.

You can not return anything, only exchanges so I strongly recommend keeping your receipt. The ladies that work at the store are very friendly and helpful. Seems like there are a lot less bags now and more accessories.

If you need a small run of a custom design, or a large run of a company-wide slogan, the people at Cold Side should be your first call. They can do re-usable shopping bags, t-shirts, polo shirts, aprons, and just about anything you can think of that you want your logo put on. They also offer a wide variety of options - digital printing, silk screening, and embroidery come to mind. Talk to Pete - he's the best!

I am a BIG fan of Cold Side - I highly recommend them! For our first two seasons my kickball team…read moreused the online shop Custom Ink for our shirts. After a couple go-arounds, while we were happy with their customer service we began to feel limited by their design tools and shirt options. We were also really turned off by the sky-high prices. For our third season I priced out a design and t-shirt type with Custom Ink, Cold Side and 4 other local shops. Cold Side had the most competitive pricing and the type of can-do attitude that I appreciate. They are great with deadlines and graphic work, and their pricing is extremely competitive. For the last 6 seasons of kickball we have been loyal Cold Side customers, and have received many many compliments on our shirts. At this point you might be asking, well if you are such a huge Cold Side fan why not give them 5 stars? I withheld 1 star because sometimes I've had some issues with my orders (wrong sizes, missing shirts, etc). Cold Side has always gone out of their way to correct any issues, but I you've got to be batting 1000 to get five stars from me.

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:)

This place opened last summer and is owned by two sisters (who also have their own graphic design business). They tend to feature local artists and have a wide range of merchandise at a variety of price-points. Of course their stock is always changing so find a reason to make a trip to this end of town. There's no doubt you'll find something here.
