Update 10/16/2025 I have a pair of handmade shoes that I…read morebought on a trip to Lahore, Pakistan. The soles were originally made from wood and I grinded the soles down wearing them throughout the concrete streets of NYC. There was a hole near the top of the sole of the right shoe. Rafaello is whom I trust when it comes to repairing and refashioning any of my leather and fur goods. Rafaello was able to resole the shoes that were originally designed in Turkey with genuine Italian leather soles and Vibram rubber. After picking up the shoes, then I crushed a Monster energy drink can I had finished drinking to test out the shoes. It went well. That way I can know whether there are any lose nails and whether the shoes can properly withstand force. I usually jump down stairs in the subway skipping two to three steps at a time. The soles were properly stitched to the upper and the glue on the inside to hole the insole has also been well. I picked up the shoes in August, and no complaints thus far. He does the most amazing at this craft within NYC. I've dealt with others before, but I will not go back because I have different one of a kind gifts. I also dropped off a pair of stylish heel shoes that my younger sister wears from Birdies for court appearances related to her position. The heel was damaged and Rafaello made sure to refashion the shoes so they have better grip near the front and the heel is repaired. He made sure to polish the shoes before returning them as well. 12/10 with how professional, skilled, and mindful to detail that Rafaello is. When I wear down my custom motorcycle riding jacket from Lahore, Pakistan, then I know who to go to. Or the other pairs of dress shoes that I have. I'll wear one down, pass it to Rafaello without any worry, and start wearing the other pair of dress shoes to hit them with the daily grind. Thank you again, Rafaello! Legitimately, the best! I brang a very older beaver fur coat that had opening seams underneath the arms, had an old lining that was pilling and different clasps that didn't fasten properly. I had bought the fur coat second-hand and I did not know when the last time it was professionally washed and glazed. Rafaello made sure to find a beautiful red wine colored lining and embroider my name on the inside of the coat. He made the coat brand new again. He added better clasps that lock tightly and the coat is silky soft now. Most friendly and professional man. I would recommend him for any leather and fur restoration services. Surely a talented craftsman.

Walked out the door decided to wear my mink coat. By the time I reached work, I went to take my…read morecoat off, looked down and there was a 2 inch rip in the sleeve of the coat. As anyone else would do i began to panic. Since I work in midtown Manhattan , I decided to go on yelp and search fur repair before the situation became worst. I read the reviews and decided this is where I would bring my coat. I walked inside the building (it's in the same building as mood fabrics) they are located in the lobby. The location is the size of a bedroom with all kinds of furs from top to bottom. The old man that owns it is the nicest person ever. Anyway , he told me to remove my coat so he could get a better look at it. He said I can fix this right now as you wait. I let him know my break was only 20 mins . He gave me a loaner fur vest, so that I could walk back to my job. Returned back on my lunch break to retrieve my coat. He did such a GREAT job !! You cant even tell where the rip was . The price was great and if anything ever happened , I would go right back to him.. Great experience

When the store changed ownership, they changed the name, but to something close to "Natural Leather." It is a true hippie leather store, and one of their best products is their custom leather sandals made from a tracing of your foot. They'll do all repairs on them, and these will last you years and years--trust me. Carol is the woman who runs the store, and Josh is the estranged son of Dick, the founder. ("I was a sandal slave," Josh told me once about his summers growing up, making sandal parts. He also told me once that Dick was the "sandal king," which he is.) You can get leather hats, bags, and belts, in addition to the aforementioned sandals. It's a great place to hang out, too.

I trusted Mark Kaufman Furrier (Kaufman Furs) with several valuable fur items for paid storage,…read morecleaning, and repairs over multiple years. I paid the storage fees every time they contacted me. When I returned to retrieve my items, I discovered that the repairs I paid for were never done, the mink coat had not been properly cleaned, and a fox fur messenger bag and Russian fur hat were discolored. Despite continuing to accept payment year after year, I was told I "shouldn't have left the items there so long." If that is the case, it should be clearly stated before taking payment for long-term storage. This was not a one-time mistake, but an ongoing issue over several years. Based on my experience, I do not recommend using Mark Kaufman Furrier for storage or repair services and strongly advise others to proceed with caution.
