I was inspired to make a DIY journal cover and went here with no experience of leather working. They have a bin of scrap leather for purchase and some sale items. Sale items are on refundable. Minimum purchase is a whole hide or half hide for bigger ones. Their smaller hides are lamb skin which was around $50-60 bucks for a medium size. Their cow hide, they can do half hide which is what I did since it was so big. I got quite a few journal covers out of that as well as a couple passport holders.

I came here because the reviews were extremely positive.

Wasn't willing to work with me on what I needed. For context I'm making a travelers journal and only needed a small amount, but said I had to buy the entire roll of leather and wasn't willing to cut it. If you're not willing to sell 3x5 leather fine, but don't be a huge a**hole about it.

Modern Leather Goods is the only approved Briggs & Riley repair vendor in Manhattan, which is…read moreexactly why I went. The zipper on my cabin carry-on had jammed completely and I couldn't get the bag open or closed properly. I brought it in expecting to leave it for at least a few hours if not a day or two. Instead, the person helping me took a look, got to work, and had the zipper unstuck and running smoothly in about 15 minutes while I waited. What really impressed me is that he didn't just fix it, he showed me how to handle it myself if it ever happens again. His technique: overstuff the bag so the fabric draws out and the tension increases around the zipper track, then give the caught area a few firm flicks with the edge of a credit card. The added tension plus the flicking releases the fabric from the zipper teeth. Simple, clever, and the kind of trade knowledge you only get from people who have been doing this for a long time.

I filled out the paperwork on the Internet and mailed the leather bags to their Manhattan shop. I received a call the day the handbags were received. I gave a credit card number to repair both bags for $150 and $35 shipping and handling. I was told the bags would be returned to me within two weeks. The bags were returned by FedEx and have a glossy luster and shine now. The black bag looks like new and the white is better but not perfect.

Unfortunately, in the past couple years the quality has declined dramatically. The work has become sloppy, and on each of my last two visits they have actually damaged my shoes. The first time, they were able to improve the damage, so I let it go. This time, multiple pairs in the same order came back damaged, on top of the work being otherwise subpar. I take extremely good care of my shoes, and I can't continue bringing them in for routine work like resoling only to have them come back with damage that wasn't there before. After nearly a decade, I unfortunately no longer trust them with my shoes.

I'm giving Fossil Four Stars. It's pricey but beautiful merchandise. This store is beautiful. The employees let me browse to my hearts content. Fossil is more than watches. Visit when you're nearby.

Good idea: Friendly employees Bad idea: Like, 20 friendly employees Good idea: Well-priced watches for the quality they are ($65-$110 for most) Bad idea: $25 for each interchangeable plastic strap?! I know those cost 50 cents to make in some "developing" country Good idea: Central location in Times Square (SW corner of 48th and Broadway) Bad idea: Location means very little square footage, which means a cramped space to move around in Good idea: Stylish watches Bad idea: Stylish watches with rotating rims which have no function other than aesthetics, or with face and hand colors so similar that the time is unreadable Good idea: Generosity and patience with letting customers try on multiple watches Bad idea: All the counter surfaces are glass so I was terrified I would drop a watch on them by accident Good idea: Interchangeable straps on a lot of watches Bad idea: Some straps are too big for small wrists, and they won't punch extra holes in the plastic bands in the store, which effectively adds another $10 to the watch price for going to a jeweler to do it. The tie score here should really give this place three stars, but since I'm probably going to end up buying a watch here, four stars it is. It's an elegant store and the watches are gorgeous.
