Family owned stores that customized belts and bracelets to fit you. I bought a belt that was too…read morebig for me. They cut they excess length and made sure it fit my waist. My sister had one where the punched new holes on the belt for the belt to fit her. I had walked into the leather store with my own leather bag. And I inquired about a stain I had on it. The store owner tried to get rid of the stain for me. Very sweet man, but only speak Italian. His assistant speaks English. I also bought a well made backpack from his store, and it has plenty of compartments and pocket. The lining is thick and durable. And the bags are not only functional, but elegant. They will weather well with time. He had bright color belts and bags, as well as the traditional colors.
