I took my Vintage Leather Dooney & Bourke purse to the London Shoe and Repair Shop in Collinsville…read moreIL. I needed one of the strap holders at the side of the purse sewn up again as the stitching had come out. Really quick turnaround of 2 days and not only did the Shoe Repair Gentleman sew up one, for good measure, he also sewed up the other one, all for the great price of $10. I would definitely recommend the Shoe Repair and I would return there. The Shoe Store looked great too.

He said he could fix it and did so in 5 minutes for less than half what a new band would have cost. Not a lot of money but I was really impressed that he took the time to save me some money when he could have easily sold me a new band. So rare to see that these days.

I am a HUGE FAN. When I lived in LA, I had the very-bestest…read moreof the best alteration person. When I relocated to STL, I checked out the Yelp reviews of all area contenders. Alexandra's didn't have a ton of photos, but the language in previous reviews pointed me in their direction. The shop is co-located with a hair salon. I'm not sure if the hair salon keeps the same hours, but I posted a photo of Alexandra's hours here on Yelp. Double check before heading their way. They work SUPER hard to make alterations to your specifications. They will also make recommendations according to your garment's material(s) and what they have seen work and not work before. They have worked magic on my dresses, taken in jeans, and altered tops, hems, gowns, quilts, and more for me. They truly can do it all. The shop ladies are extremely friendly in a no-nonsense kind of way.....does that make sense? What I mean is - It seems like everyone in the area takes their items there, so they STAY busy. They have to stop working on their current project to help you, so it's usually less chit chat and more, "Go in and try it on." As I write this in 6/2025, I think the current return time os 8/2025. Keep in mind, June is right after prom season and right in the middle of wedding season. If I knew how to sew, I'd apply for part time basic work just to learn more from these ladies. The prices are reasonable. I always pay in cash as a nod to small business keeping more of monies earned. Lastly, check out my pictures of their seasonal "porch display." Most of the garments displayed are remnants of cloth these ladies fashioned into a dress. I KNOW the necklace paired with the winter dress was made with recycled buttons. I'll end how I began, "I'm a HUGE FAN."
