I rarely leave reviews, but after experiencing the craftsmanship and care at Santana Leather Care, I felt compelled to share. As someone who invests in quality footwear and leather accessories, finding a repair service that understands the value--and intricacy--of high-end leather goods is no small feat. Santana Leather Care not only met my expectations, they exceeded them in every way. What truly sets Santana Leather Care apart is their passion for what they do. This isn't just a service--it's a form of art. Their attention to detail, respect for the original craftsmanship, and use of high-grade materials reflect a deep knowledge of luxury leather goods that's increasingly rare to find. If you own fine leather items you care about, don't risk going anywhere else. Santana Leather Care is simply in a league of their own. read more

The customer service is friendly, and the people are professional. However, the overall experience has been disappointing. Service timelines are significantly delayed, and pricing is well above general market rates. I have been waiting over 45 days for a belt repair that I was initially told would take 20-25 days, which is unacceptable. This has been a learning experience for me. After going to another vendor for a similar service, I had the job completed in less than 48 hours. While I've heard great things about this business, that has not been my experience. read more

I learned of this business from the handbag retailer who recommended it as a place that could repair my bag. The place was nice and there were no problems with the person working. However, the prices quoted to complete the requested service (handle repair on a designer bag) was significantly inflated and the time to finish the work was quoted as weeks, not days. I ultimately had the repair completed elsewhere for a fraction of the cost. read more

Beware! I recently brought seven pairs of shoes here for various . One pair of new shoes had never been worn and when I got them back, they were dented across the leather. They'd clearly been thrown into a bag with something sharp. The heel taps have already fallen off another pair. The rubber soul has already come loose on a third pair and a fourth pair must've been stored in a very hot warehouse because the leather is now cracked and unrepairable. The taps on a fifth pair were not secured and I've now tripped on them.This company does not answer their phone and does not answer your emails. So there's literally nothing to be done here except to warn you from going here. Whatever their reputation used to be, it's not the same anymore. The shoes also took eight weeks and I was quoted four weeks. No one contacted me. The only way that I could get anyone to give me an update on my shoes was to go to the store and ask the person to provide me with information, which was limited and I was told to come back weeks later. I will never use them again. Don't even get me started on the price for the repair per pair of shoes. read more

I was not aware or notified my items wouldn't be repaired in house..they shipped my items to the Carolinas and it toke forever to get them back..1 item was a repair that was ok..the other was adding snaps to a bag and it awful. read more

The quality of the repair itself was good but weirdly they didn't buff or moisturize any other part of the bag. More importantly, the customer service was terrible. I dropped off in early October and was promised the bag by 12/5. Bag was not ready by 12/5. When I contacted Santana, I was promised it would be ready within a week. Still no. Contacted again in January, again promised a week. Still not ready, finally via text, I was told the leather I selected wasn't available at all so I needed to select a new one. Finally was able to pick the bag up a full 5 months after dropping it off. I was also charged for replacement of a logo, which they were not able to replace. Overall a disappointing and expensive experience. Would not recommend. read more

RUN AWAY!!! Took my $4000 purse here and it took them 9 months to give it back, and it was not even cleaned. Only the leather handles replaced and were too dark. Horrible job, and unprofessional. read more

They replaced my heel taps in five minutes, seriously so amazing. Highly recommend and they're very honest about alterations. read more

The insoles of my shoes needed to be glued. I dropped them off mid June and was told they would be ready in 2 weeks. In addition I was supposed to be notified when they were ready. I had to call the warehouse in North Carolina to get any updates. I was told the shoes would not be ready until the beginning of September. Although I did not receive any communication I went to the store in early September. The sales associate was "surprised" that it took so long and said "we could have done that faster here." So the whole summer gone without my sandals and no offer to adjust the price. The associate apologized. Needless to say I am extremely disappointed and will not be promoting or using their services again. read more

Worst Part is now they don't even answer the phone. Very concerned. How will I get my purse and sandals? would it Be considered stealing ? read more

The price was fair, and the service exceeded my expectations. read more

Santana leather is located in a house on a side street in Buckhead. Behind the counter on the wall is a mosaic' made of Christian Louboutin shoes. Should have been the tip off. I needed simple fixes to 5 pairs of shoes - heels cut down, taps added to the toes etc. it took me 4 trips to get all my shoes back. I also felt the charges were high read more

Javier is awesome and always gives excellent , honest advice. I have brought my wife's purses to be repaired, shoes, they even restructured an entire bag. So glad they are in Atlanta. read more

They are Very professional and understand what need to be done on my shoes,and give me a realistic answer on how much of the stains will be removed read more

Great customer experience. Took a pair of damaged Prada boots in for repair. I had been turned away by another shop and told they could not be repaired. The guys at Santana were incredibly nice and took them in no problem with the expectation of them being repaired back to near original condition. Time frames and pricing are reasonable. They even helped me out with a damaged jacket that they were able to repair in just a few minutes. The guys at Santana could not be nicer. The Atlanta location is easy to access and there is parking in the rear off the street, which is helpful. read more

Santana is known for great work on luxury items. If you have nice shoes/purses that need repair, this is where you go!

Von and Joshua are amazing! I brought in my shoes and they fixed them within 30 minutes. I thought that my Gucci sandals were ruined when I got them wet on vacation. However, Von and Joshua solved my problem and were kind to me. They're a great example of exceptional customer service. read more

I have to say you guys did an amazing job. I don't know how you did it, but I appreciate it. Y'all will always get my business. Thank you for cleaning my bag, but also fixing my favorite sandal. Great service and customer service and Value read more

Blown away is an understatement! SLC literally brought my beloved Chanel bag back to life! I have a vinyl Chanel from 2012 and it had been improperly stored in my closet for years. One side of the bag and creased and collapsed, the cording had disintegrated, and the material was chipping in multiple spots. SLC completely reworked it! It looks almost new. The process of sending my prized bag in was also very secure. As you can imagine, sending an expensive designer bag through the mail is kind of nerve wracking, but the process was very secure and the communication was stellar. I couldn't be happier! Will be sending all of my leather and/or designer items here from now on. read more

Stay away from this company!!! My mother took her vintage Chanel bag to this service, only for it to come back worse off/damaged. When we demanded refund, they offered a slap in the face of 20% of what we paid. Collectors beware; this business is smiles and bullshit to ur face. read more

If I could give less than 1 star i would. level of service has gone to the pits of hell. dropped my daughters purse off in August for a minor repair.. promised to be ready in 2/3 weeks. November came with no communication from the business at all. Called spoke with Josh and he stated that the purse was still at the warehouse and he would call me back.... never heard back from him. called back on 11/12 spoke with Josh again.. promised to send a tracking number when we hung up. got it 2 days later. called back today and Josh still wasnt sure if the purse was in...and had the nerve to say it's been a long day. not sure if management has switched or they are just losing their mind but I will never return for repairs. 0 out of 0 read more

A waiter spilled wine all over my bag. I was referred to this location. They were very thorough and professional. They stated that it would take 4-6 weeks but it was completed in two. They did a great job and the price quote didn't change upon picking it up (some places like to do that and it annoys me! My purse and back brand spanking new !! read more

I have had several high end wallets repaired at Santana Leather and have had a bad experience. I dropped off the two wallets on July 5, 2023 and was told it could take up 4 weeks for the repairs. I agreed with that and paid the hefty price for the repairs. Over the next several months I called a few times to inquire about the repairs and twice asked to speak with a manager, but no one ever called me. On November 9, 2023 I was able to pick up my two wallets. I asked to speak with a manager but there was no one to speak with. I asked for a refund because I paid $369 in July for the repair and it took about 4 months, not the up to 4 weeks I was told. I ended up spending money on a new wallet because those were my wallets and 1, 2, 3, 4 months is a long time to go without a wallet. I spoke to the person at the register and he put in a escalation ticket for me. I saw the escalation ticket in a email on November 9, 2023 and was told it would take 2-4 weeks for someone to get back to me. We are beginning week 5 and no one has gotten back to me. Hopefully this will get resolved and I can change this review ... but for now I am unhappy and would not recommend this business to anyone. read more

One of the BEST shoe repair shops I've ever used!! I trust them with all my Designer pieces.. The staff is Amazing and I always get the Best Service from any of the guys..

Don't expect them to be on time. Close early and open late. Bad business. If you don't like how they repair your items you still have to pay for it. The worse business model. I would suggest finding a better shoe repair place. Just because their in buckhead doesn't mean quality service. Do better Santana or get out of town. read more

I first started going to Santana Creative last year. My first time? It was my off white Gucci hobo leather purse. I went to Gucci and asked them for a place where I could get some stains cleaned out. The staff gave me a name of another place off Pharr road. A quick look on those reviews on Yelp gave me a fright. There is no way I would send my purse there. Then I remembered a former neighbor mentioned about Santana Creative at Lenox Marketplace. My first visit? It was very pleasant. The staff was very friendly and just made me feel at ease of leaving my belonging with them. I was told all items would ship to a location in Carolina (I can't remember North or South, probably SC) and the turn around would be 2 weeks. It cost $80 to clean the bag inside out. I thought $80 is reasonable. Two weeks passed and when I collected my purse, I was thrilled. My purse looked so clean! The stains were gone (I did not even understand why there would be pen inks and some tiny spots on the leather). That $80 was well spent. Subsequently I have sent my Manolo boots, Ferragamo sandals and my latest, a pair of Bruno Magli pumps over to Santana Creative. The staff(s) at the repair facility always cleaned up the shoes and did an amazing job. The place may not be the cheapest around but if you have good quality high end shoes and purse, you really can't be penny-pinching on where to repair or recondition your precious belongings. The turn around time is usually about two weeks. Patience is definitely needed here but it is definitely worth the wait! read more

Service was not good. The guy there seemed like he didn't want to be bothered. I brought a pair of louboutin there to add the red sole protector. When I went to pick up my shoes, I noticed they scratched up the bottom of my shoes. I saw a scratch that was not there before, and I pointed it out to the guy, and he was just like " well, it's always been there", didn't give a sh*t. Overall, not a good experience and certainly won't go back. I recommend people go to a different place at all cost. read more

The folks specialize in purse, wallet, leather, shoes ... clean, repair and restore. The wife's favorite Fendi needs a cleaning and the Fendi store at Lenox recommended this place. True enough, the folks are very professional and courteous. Seems like they have quite the following as well, with many items restored and ready to be returned to their clients. Gives me a sense of confidence that the work will be done correctly and done well. $65 to clean the bag, and turnaround time is 5-7 business days. We have not gotten the bag back yet but , so far, the entire experience has been very positive. We asked if they could restore 2 LV wallets and they were kind enough to point us back to the boutique becuase LV may repair for free. Isn;t that nice? read more

They were able to fix my bag in a timely manner and for an affordable price.

Seriously don't bother to do business here, your items will not be protected here! They claim they are 100% responsible for ur bags but once my bag was stolen they tried to offer me only 20% value of my bag! BEWARE AND STAY AWAY FRON THEM read more

Santana is amazing!! I got a stain on my beige canvas Prada bag and was not sure about where to take it. The Prada store in NYC suggested I go to Santana, and they are AMAZING!! I took it to the Santana shop within Bergdorf Goodman and Rafael was so professional in taking in my bag. He took pictures and followed up with an invoice via email. He even offered to ship the bag bag to me as a courtesy. I just got the bag back (only took about 1 week) and it looks BRAND NEW! They even cleaned the leather straps, and my husband is convinced they replaced them because they look so good. I have used another leather care place before, but now I will bring all of my cherished bags (and shoes) to Santana. They are the best. read more

Horrible service! Sent a $1700 bag in to be cleaned brand new and when it came back from cleaning the fabric was showing through like it was scrubbed off. I worked with high bags like Hermes, Chanel and Louis Vuitton , and no one can tell me that my bag should have come back like that. That's a total of $1780 wasted plus tax of the bag. Didn't offer a discount, basically telling me that the bag was turned in that way, but he was not there that day, so he had no say in what I dropped off! read more

Santana Leather Care is AMAZING !!!!!!! I have used them to add protective read soles to my Christian Louboutins for several years now. I recently got the heel of my black Pigalle Follies stuck in a crack in the pavement of a parking lot and hit the ground, scrapping up to toe of one shoe and the back side of the other. I did not believe they could be fixed, but took them to Santana anyway. I picked them up today and can't believe it!!! I cannot tell where the shoes were damaged! The cost of the repair was reasonable and I am extremely happy! read more

Practically brand new pair of $895 Louboutin's were stolen from their store during the ATL riots and they've offer $120 to "replace" them and advised ME to contact MY insurance company to see what could be done. I am genuinely surprised by the response this company has taken to mend this situation with their customers. ESPECIALLY those who can prove the condition and value of the items that were lost while in their possession. As a business owner, I would put my customers first... addressing each and every single case individually even if it meant risking the business itself. The reason Santana's has been around as long as it has and maintained its reputation is because of the support of its clients! To offer everyone 20% of the value and bandage this insult with an "I'm sorry" is ridiculous. I really am sorry their store fell victim to looters but at the end of the day the RIGHT thing to do as a business is to TAKE THE HIT. Not pass it along to your customers that have kept you in business. On God, I will NEVER take a piece of ANYTHING back to this place after this experience. read more

This is probably the best shoe repair in Atlanta, but they do ship out your shoes to their repair center in Raleigh, North Carolina. For the clients who value transparency, there is a tv broadcasting real-time footage of the cobblers working at the repair center. I was absolutely devastated when I accidentally fell into a little hole while wearing my Jimmy Choos, thereby severely ripping the leather off one heel. Santana Creative successfully rewrapped the leather heel with kid leather that perfectly matched the original kid leather in texture, color, shine, and material. Very impressive work. read more
