I had a chat with the leatherworker, he was so helpful, and friendly, and knowledgeable! He's also SO talented. He showed me some stuff he was working on and I ended up buying my first piece from here (wallet). I really neeeed one of these beautiful bags!! so far my wallet has been a conversation starter at work. I got many compliments on it which reminded me to make this post. Great prices, beautiful pieces, and excellent care with attention to detail. read more

Murillo's leather goods store on Olvera Street is fabulous. The entire shop is filled with beautiful artisan crafted Mexican items. The owner Armando is a master craftsman using a process handed down from his father to create wonderful belts and handbags. The owner and his wife are such exceptionally compassionate people. When my husband felt lightheaded they gave him a large area to rest and were so caring. We will always remember the kindness shown to us by Armando and his wife. read more

Took the family to Olvera Street in Los Angeles, and walked into "Murillos Leather Goods". There stuff is fantastic! I was looking at all the cool hand made belts only to discover they could cut and customize a belt for me while I waited. It came out just like I wanted, of course you can design yours how you like out of the many designs they have. So for a reasonable price you can get a premium hand tooled "heart of the hide" leather belt made to your specific taste, that outlast any other belt you can get at a department store! Thank you Murillos!!!!! read more

This place is great! Walking around Olvera Street, I noticed the plethora of leather goods adorning the store front and that is what drew me in. Once inside, I noticed some leather strap bracelets with a snap. I recalled my good friend's daughter losing hers recently and she was really bummed. I texted her and within 10 minutes, I walked out with a close replacement. The guy who does the leather works is extremely nice. He worked with me in between text messages to see what he could offer to try and match the lost bracelet. When we were done, I handed over my $10 and he put the bracelet in a bag with his business card and told me that if she is not completely happy, have her bring back the bracelet and he will fix it. That is customer service! If you want him to make you a custom made belt, he'll do that for you too. $45. Not bad for a leather belt that will last FOREVER! He's got sandals, wallets, purses, etc. Great little place to visit "en la plazita Olvera." read more

We were window shopping and noticed they make custom belts, so we decided to get one for my 8 year old son. We had his name added to the belt and my son got to pick what design he wanted to add as well. I didn't catch the name of the gentleman that helped us but he was very friendly and offered excellent service he sized the belt to fit my son and also measured so my sons name would sit at the center of his back. He also stained the belt to match my sons boots. The belt came out perfect! My son wears it everyday. I have paid a lot more for cheap looking belts, but at Murillo Leather we got a good quality custom belt for way less, could not be happier. read more

Back in October my boyfriend and I got the most beautiful belts made here. We each got our last name tooled in the leather and they are gorgeous. Loved it so much went back the next day to have dog collars made for our dog and for our friend's dog who we were staying with in L.A. Mr. Murillo could not have been kinder or provided better work. Will surely make it a stop next time we get to visit. read more

Where do I start? Armando and Lupe are trully wonderful people! Their business has been established for now 2 generations and now one knows why. Once you step inside their shop, they treat you like family! Armando will take care of your leather needs while Lupe does an excellent job showing you their authentic products. I do recommend you buy yourself an authentic pair of huaraches. Overall, they are more than business patrons, they are friends to the community. I have been going to their shop for over 10 years, mostly for the frienship and great service! read more

Great Place, Quality Products, Friendly Staff, Wonderful Handmade Goods

This place is unreal. Armando and his wife lupe are the nicest people. High Quality leather products at fair prices. I am definitely coming back to buy a briefcase. He has it all from belts to wallets to dog collars to gun holsters! read more

What a sweetheart ! Came on a very chaotic summer afternoon in July. Had been here years before (still have the personalized bracelet from 2008) and I was very happy that his storefront was still open. Had 4 bracelets tooled (?)in less than 15 minutes. Bracelets are $10 bucks a piece. He was very patient with my indecisive family. Great work and fantastic quality. Also said he is happy to ship items. Parking around this area can be a challenge. We parked a couple of blocks away and paid 10 or 15 bucks. If you have time wander over across the street to the train station. Beautiful art deco design, great for people watching, and you never know who you might see :) read more

THE BEST PLACE!!!! just bought a beautiful BAG!!! cant wait to order a wallet. Everyone is SUPER nice and helpful. Best quality leather!!!! ARMANDO and LUPE are the absolute BEST!! read more

Bought a beautiful belt from this store six years ago, great service and selection. Worn it every day since purchased (unless it's a boardshorts day). Such a great belt, headed back there soon to find a fancy belt. cant wait! read more

I just got a dog collar from here for my pup with her name and my number on it. It looks great. They customized the collar while I waited and it was done in under 10 minutes. The couple running the store were absolutely the best at customer service. They do all kinds of custom leather goods with very reasonable prices. I will be back the next time I am in the area to get myself something. read more

I absolutely LOVE, Murillo Leather! I have bracelets made from him from 10 years ago and the leather is still in great shape. Of course worn leather is the best any way but you have a choice in what leather you want your bracelet and belt to be. Armando the owner works the station and is the nicest ever. He will make sure what you purchase is exactly what you want and a perfect fit for you. I had custom leather cuffs made for my bridal party with their names on the outside and in the inside the date of the wedding with my hubby & my initials. Our bridal party loved it and defiantly gave it a rocking personal touch. I also have 3 belts from his. Of course I got the replica of the Jessica Simpson belt me made for the Duck of Hazarded movie. The other two are super special as I was able to choice the leather belts I wanted and the design. Then, he made sure to cut the length for a perfect fit. If you are in the LA area, I recommend making a stop to Olvera St. just to stop by to Murrillo Leather. You will not be disappointed with the product nor the price. I live in the Bay Area and make sure to stop by on every visit to South Cali. Also, I have made several phone orders. Only downfall is he does not have a website as he is super old school but I LOVE them any way. read more

I love this placeee !!! My name is never found on anything or its spelled differently so i have to have things custom made. I got 2 belts from here and they look great you can even put a design with it like a star or something. I was to fat to fit any of the belts that were already made so he made one just for me with my name and you get to choose what color the belt can be. I got my dad a belt and had his initals put instead of his name. My cousin got her husky a dog collar and it looked great! They also do like custom leather keychains and bracelets. I love Olvera Street! read more

Went to Olvera St today with my girlfriend and didn't really know what to expect. While walking around she remembered that there was a "neat leather shop" there so we found it and wandered in. We started chatting with the leather worker and found out that he is the owner who inherited the business from his dad. What a nice guy he is. After looking at some of the stuff he had, we decided we had to get a couple custom belts. Armando was great in talking to us about the leather and I can't recommend his place enough. The next time I'm in LA I'll definitely drop by his shop and get another custom made something. Maybe a guitar strap next. Not only is the quality great, but the customer service is excellent and Armando is such a pleasure to talk to. read more
