Another Great Vest From Victory Leathers!…read more I joined American Veterans Motorcycle Riders Association and needed to get a new vest. My first vest I bought from here was a great deal so, my new vest had to come from Victory Leathers. I had picked it out online. Called Eddie to make sure they had one. I drive over 70 miles one way is the reason for calling. The first one I wanted was a bit tight. No problem, Eddie had a size bigger. I bought the, "Leather Vest with Buffalo Nickle Snaps", and love it. Eddie sewed on 13 patches of various sizes. It was around 11:45 when I got there and finished the complete sale and headed home around 12:25. Thank you again for doing another great job for me.

Wonderful service!…read more John fixed my shoes so quickly, and with better heels than I originally requested. Thankful for the great and quick work!

Pricing was reasonable and repair time was less than 48 hours! Thank you will keep in mind for future bag/luggage repairs.

Very disappointed with this company / customer service. We ordered a leather and embossing pattern…read more Was not embossed deep enough or consistently over the leather. Didn't hold design.

I am very disappointed with Keleen Leathers for not standing behind a product that they sold me and…read moreassured me would be appropriate for a stair runner. While visiting the Keleen showroom, the owner took me and my designer into his office to show us an "amazing product" that he claimed was perfect for a unique and attractive look - shearling pelts to be used as a staircase runner. After discussing this application, including the durability of the pelts, I purchased them and contracted with Nova Flooring Services to have them fabricated and installed in my home. After only a few years, the pelts wore through in many places and the stair edges became bare - the pelts were black so the absence of the fur was extremely apparent and very unattractive. Keleen would not respond to my request to stand behind their product - leaving me with an expensive project of replacing all the pelts with standard carpeting. Nova Flooring of Schaumburg, IL removed the worn pelts and installed new carpeting for me at no charge (for labor). This was very gracious and professional of Nova. Keleen Leathers should have stood behind their product and this use that they so strongly endorsed.

I happened to snag a parking spot right in front of this shop. The window display said "come in,…read moreyou'll find something cute here". And I did! But this is so much more than a "cute boutique ". The shop itself isn't too large because the back half of Re:New is the workshop where refugees women are taught lessons in sewing as well as studying English. The gal working the front was lovely enough to take me in a little tour. Everyone seemed happy and excited to be making (perhaps the best part) handbags! Pieces are pricey but the fabrics/leather used are divine! I ended up coming back here for cosmetic bags and eye masks for a girls weekend! I hope to spread their message because it really is an incredible concept ladies!

The "shoe service" is pristine and wonderful. The "customer service" is all over the place here…read more The older gentleman at the counter has to check with his wife for EVERYTHING: even though he'll promise that something will be ready on a Friday and charge me the $6 for a service (that I've already had done here before), SHE will then call back to say it won't be ready at that timeframe, and this is the last time she will accept that price. Several times I've had Paul's shoe service punch a 2 mm hole into the middle of the spine of a leather notebook (see photo). I have at least six of these notebooks that they have punched holes in. On my most recent trip in I was charged the same price I've been charged and promised that my new project (one single notebook witha hole punch in the spine ) would be finished by Friday. Mary called me the following day to explain that they would no longer be able to charge me the six dollars. I love working with small businesses so I asked what the updated price would be. She became very defensive and explained why the price point would be different. "Thank you for the explanation but what would that new price be?" Again even more flustered and defensive. She explained that she didn't even know what the price would be and that normally the price would be between $20 and $30, and that I've been getting "the deal of the century". She also explained that they gave me bulk pricing for my previous notebooks. She then threw that older gentleman under the bus and said "I don't know why he would've told you Friday. We're extremely busy. These won't be done till sometime next week." Overall, I'm turned off by the lack of information the lack of communication between employees and the attitude I was presented with when asking further questions. I'll be taking my business elsewhere going forward. It seems like I was just too small a project for them and they didn't know how to deal with my projects.

Kudos to Leather Solution on Irving Pk. The LS team made our almost 20-year-old Italian leather…read morefurniture in our front room look like NEW, after a little stuffing and repair! Neighbors, a little advice: don't throw away your old furniture to buy something new. Let Leather Solution take a look at it; it'll save you big $.

I have been meaning to write a review for some time. I unequivocally recommend Leather Solutions…read moreof Chicago. In January of 2020, I opened up my home to foster 4 pandemic puppies. Sadly, my leather couch and leather chair did not fair well against their razor sharp teeth. I had 2 options, buy new or pay to repair it. We had paid quite a bit brand new 10 years ago. Our warranty had expired. The company that we purchased these pieces from still offered the same set...for $2500 more than we originally paid. My husband and I agreed that if the repair cost under $1000 it would be worth the cost and better for the environment. After a few phonecalls and emails, I was finally able to connect with Leather Solutions Of Chicago. They are kind good people. They are truly worth the wait. Their skill is second to none. I was without furniture for a little over a week. I literally wanted to cry when I saw the repair. You would have never known that I had it repaired. They not only replaced the damaged pieces and restuffed the cushions, they also matched the color of the leather perfectly. We are forever grateful to Rachelle and Fidelino for restoring our beloved couch and chair.

What a hidden gem. My old go-to guy in Naperville sold out to Taco Bell and retired. They're…read moreactually closer to me here. Prompt reasonable friendly service, obviously keeps him busy. I had received an expensive pair of shoes for a gift. I didn't wear them initially and they fell apart once I did. Kuru (brand) wouldn't take them back because it was past their warranty time. Kinda shitty thing to do after buying dozens of them over the years. Fortunately I have a new pair of shoes for just $14. It's a little tricky to find but just look for office/restroom signs near H&M entrance to the mall on 2nd floor, and head down the hallway. They carry all kinds of accessories for your feet/shoe needs.

I was initially referred to Yorktown Shoe Repair Center this past December by the people at Famous…read moreFootwear, also at Yorktown Mall, when I couldn't find the shoelaces that I was looking for at their business. Not only did Jose Verde have suitable shoelaces in stock, but he also did a great job of shining my two pairs of dress shoes in only half an hour and at a great price! Since then, I have been back to Yorktown Shoe Repair twice - once for a further shoe-shining, and once to have one of my pairs of dress shoes repaired and to buy accessories for shoe care. And again, Jose did the necessary work in the agreed-upon time and at an eminently fair and affordable price - and he did a GREAT job, too. He also has a great selection of quality accessories for shoes, including shoe polish, shoe applicators, shoe brushes, shine cloths, anti-slide guards (for shoes with "slippery" soles), shoe horns, and, of course, shoe laces. He and his wife are both very personable and very professional. I do like Tony's Shoe Clinic in Oak Park and Lou's Shoe and Luggage Service in Park Ridge - but, given where I now live and where I now work and where I now go to church (every day of the week) I'm very happy to have this hidden gem of Yorktown Shopping Center right on the way to and fro. STRONGEST POSSIBLE POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION for Yorktown Shoe Repair Center, located on the upper level of the mall, on the west side of the complex (right down the same hall as the mall offices and the upstairs men's and women's restrooms, in fact). And I'm going to continue to go to Yorktown Shoe Repair Center for all of my shoe-repair and shoe-accessory needs!!!!!
