Dropped it by, paid the $20 to get it to the front of the line, and picked it up 24 hours later. If you don't realize what a treasure it is to have such a shop nearby, try googling in major cities, much larger than KC, sometime, for luggage repair. You'll come up empty.

What a great and helpful little store. Bag and Baggage is a really great spot if you're in the…read moremarket for their namesake items and so much more. The shop has a large selection of backpacks, luggage, and important travel goods. It's a great place to grab an outlet converter or something else you'll surely need in a trip. Bag and Baggage also carries some really high quality leather portfolios for note taking, wallets, and other goods. Besides items in stock, Bag and Baggage also does custom luggage name tags. They were able to change the names on three pieces of luggage in a pretty fast fashion. The work looks great and will definitely last. The shop was also considerate enough to put the old tags in a ziploc bag for us to potentially reuse or keep. The workers at Bag and Baggage are also super sweet. They've helped my family out so many times and done such great custom work. They were also very helpful when we forgot a bag in the store and kept it until we could pick it up.

I can buy leather cheaper, from websites or even from Amazon, but I went in the store looking for a…read moresupply I thought they would have. I wasn't acknowledged nor even glanced at, which is weird. This is in my neighborhood, and I visited the store to find something that wasn't leather related but was something they should've had in their stock. They have only a few of their kits that i can find at Hobby Lobby for cheaper. The leather selection is really good, and really expensive. I want to make a traveler's journal, but know not to go there. they have leather stamps, and paint, which is nice. On the websites I found the leather for shipping free, and alot less. There is apparently classes, or what not. I found alot of tools, and alot of things like leather lace, but nothing I was looking for. But, I would return for tools, and possibly 9 x 12 pieces of leather, but no one raised an eye at me. The price of the leather purse kit is outrageous. Really I'm not interested in this store.

I liked playing but never cared that much about watching except for Steve Sax. Yes, I loved and stalked him until I got to meet him. Walking in this store makes me feel good and I feel a bit nostalgic. The collection of hats is amazing and you can tell the store/owner cares about the presentation. It's immaculate and while not a huge selection because it's a smaller store, it's quality and cool. My boyfriend loves getting the leather baseballs and they offer seconds on them at times which are a great deal because he likes to use them and not just collect. There are some unique products at reasonable prices. For example, cool puzzles you don't see everywhere. I loved grabbing some Big League Chew on the way out. A nice selection is available! I have seen the same younger guy in the shop the 3 times I have been in. I don't know if he is the owner or is just always there, but he is extremely nice and very helpful. I got the feeling this is his business but if it's not, the owner should be grateful for a guy that invested in the products and customer service. I always leave feeling better than when I walked in. I need to go back and buy more to support this small business! If you are in this area, stop in and experience the nostalgia and joy!

This store is their only storefront but they are sold in several locations around KC and online!

They've been selling in boutiques around town such as The Bunker, Westside Storey and MASH Handmade. Good news! They're going big time and have opened up their own retail space on Westport Road! The corner storefront is pretty large, and right now I'd say at least 75% of the space is dedicated to production. There are a ton of windows and thus natural light, and it's a clean and airy space that is a pleasure to be in. The merchandise is rather limited but well curated, and a number of other local brands are represented. Off the top of my head I can recall seeing products from local businesses Owl + Mouse, Sandlot Goods and Vintage Edison. This is, of course in addition to a full line of Normal Human's t-shirts for man, woman and child. They're brand new, in fact I don't think they even had a sign when I visited. As they navigate from wholesale to retail, I look forward to seeing what they come up with. I highly suggest a visit to Normal Human.
