Onder does incredible work!! He helped me refurbish and clean a secondhand vintage Coach ergo. Came out looking amazing! His shop is slightly hard to find. There's not much signage, but basically you enter on 20th St. There's a black sliding metal door you go through first and then you walk downstairs to his shop. He's also very responsive via text and finished the bag before our agreed upon date. Definitely will be bringing any other leather pieces I have to him! read more

Onder is great at what he does. My favorite leather jacket got a big rip in the sleeve and he fixed it up beautifully. You'd never know it had been damaged. Very nice guy, too. read more

Onder is a true craftsman. I brought in my favorite belt from the early 90's (completely thrashed but I still love it) so that he could make a new belt and sew my old buckle onto it. While perusing his wall of belts, I gravitated to the most beautiful belt I've ever seen, with a flowing wave of shiny silver brads and smaller waves etched into the leather. It's absolutely stunning. I also found a vintage brass buckle to jazz up another belt of mine. It felt like Christmas came early. read more

Önder is fantastic! Really easy to communicate with, his shop is interesting to visit, his skill and experience obvious and he's charming. What more could one want? read more

Önder is the best! I needed help adjusting a custom leather piece. He helped me cut off the rivets so I could wear part of it to an event, and is helping me re-attach later. Gorgeous craftsmanship, will definitely be ordering custom pieces from him in the future. read more

Önder is great, he always does good work for my alterations and repairs. He's always in high demand, so expect to wait around a week or so for more intensive work, but it's well worth it. read more

I took Onder a belt that was wearing out after 15 years. It was an artsy one-of-a-kind custom made leather belt. It had a narrow strip of slightly dark red leather stitched onto a wider strip of rolled rolled edged black leather. Onder copied it to perfection. He's refurbishing my warn out belt too. And he's a real sweethearted guy. I am really happy to have discovered him. read more

I am so impressed with the level of customer service that Onder displayed. I had a beer spill on my leather couch, and he offered to come over and treat it himself, for a very, very reasonable price. He gave me his personal cell so that I could send him a picture once the treatment dried, and then so he could come over the next day with the appropriate supplies for a second coating. The one-man-shop owner (Onder) is personable, kind, and a pleasure to interact with. Let's keep these 5 star reviews rolling! read more

Onder is great! Absolutely knows what he's doing - repaired a treasured leather messenger bag.

Onder does great work at really fair prices. He's a stand-up guy and absolutely an original. Just about anything you need done with leather he can do, whether it's motorcycle jacket repairs (he's done two of mine) or a unique piece of couture. Next time you're in SF's Mission district and want to get someone a cool gift call Skin On Skins to check out all the rad stuff on display. You'll probably walk out with several pieces. read more

I have a beautiful Moroccan leather coat that tore right open along a seam in the San Francisco airport. It was the only coat I had with me, and I had an important dinner I was planning to wear it to that evening. I figured I was screwed, but my wife started looking online, and found Skin On Skins. Onder repaired my coat so beautifully that you can't even see where it was damaged unless you look really close. Even better, he was willing to do it as a rush job, so I was able to wear my coat to dinner that evening. A top-notch experience all around, can't recommend this business enough. read more

Onder is da man! After reading the reviews, we took a one-off project to him for help. We did our best with dimensions and he built to perfect measures as we had laid out. When I went to pick up, he initiated saying how he understood the odd shape of our work made if difficult to know if the measures are right - or not. So, he continued, after we tried it out if it didn't work right he said to bring it back and he would fix it. That is exactly what happened. In real life our measures needed adjusting and true to his work, he dove it to get it right with his consistent pleasant and engaging manner. Huge thumbs up. Quality, done when said he would get it done, reasonable price, and impeccable service. read more

Onder is a magician with leather. The stuff which he makes is of incredible quality and craftsmanship while still delivering on prices. I had him make my apple watch bands and along with great looks they are still going strong with no signs of wearing. If you're looking for any sort of leather product, skin on skins is highly recommended. read more

Really cool shop - not pretentious, it's all about the products. The owner, Onder, is personable and takes the time to talk about any item you might want or want to create. Local artist using local materials. I personally liked the wristbands that also act like hidden wallets (see below). read more

Better than I could've hoped for. I needed the straps of a bag shortened as well as a belt. The job was done with precision and care. Worth noting more than anything was how welcoming the experience was. The person who helped me (perhaps the owner) asked me questions about myself and made good conversation that didn't feel forced. You can just tell the guys who run the shop are good and honest. Skin On Skins is a diamond in the rough, no question about it. read more

Amazing service from owner Onder Ordered a custom piece Highly recommend leather of any sort from Skin on Skins read more

Onder is an awesome leather worker. He has custom made beautiful Apple Watch straps for me that I love. I have also purchased the best belt I have ever owned and some cool wrist bands from him. I have been in his shop when he does "on the spot" repair work for customers and his work is always highly appreciated. Whether you are looking for custom leather work or simple repair Onder is the man to go to. read more

Onder fixed my bag perfectly. He used a different piece of leather to attach a buckle that broke off and I can't even tell the difference. I took the purse elsewhere and I was told it's not repairable but not with Onder! His prices are fair and he's a lovely person to work with. Call him before you go that way you can be sure he's there. He's really passionate about his works and takes great pride in it--you'll be happy with your result. Go see him, he's the person you want to see for anything related to leather. read more

Great experience here. My twenty year old wallet was barely hanging on so decided to replace, saw this leather craft storefront on Mission street, walked in and met Onder. He matched it for me (as I desired) and after going over leather options and hardware kicked out a beautiful new wallet I expect to last next twenty years. I also dropped an belt on him day I picked up wallet and he fixed straight away. There is also a great selection of leather goods for sale that Onder created with impeccable craftsmanship. Highly recommended! Eric read more

Good work, good price, and a fantastic turnaround time. I have a leather coat that was in need of what I thought was a fairly minor repair. A snap was coming apart and threatening to rip loose and tear the leather. Three different 4+ star rated tailors turned me away though; with one suggesting that I go to a *shoe* repair place. Not wanting to to treat one of my favorite winter coats like mere footwear, I went searching for a leather specialist and found my way to Skin on Skins. The owner had a look, said it was an easy repair, and offered to do it for $20, and in just one hour. I popped off for lunch at my favorite burrito place. When I came back an hour later, my coat was good to go, as promised. You can barely tell there was any work done, and that's just because the replacement snap he had in stock was not an exact match for the original. But that's entirely understandable though, and the difference is negligible. In fact, if I have any difficulty with any of the remaining original snaps, I'll happily bring the coat back and have them all swapped. read more

I took two jackets and a leather purse to get conditioned and one jacket repaired. Onder did an excellent job on all fronts. Now I can wear my mother's 60s vintage leather jacket without worrying it will rip further and my other jacket looks like it got a facelift. Will definitely be back! read more

My most treasured leather jacket was in tatters before Onder got his talented hands on it. I've had the thing for 15 years & now (thanks to him) it's good as new, maybe even better! Incredible work; he even put in fresh pockets as the old ones were ripped out. The detailed stitching is like magic. Absolutely marvelous, can't express how grateful I am for this. read more

Had a pair of leather pants that needed hemming and TLC. Onder (owner) was super helpful and knowledgeable. A few days later I got a call saying they were done. Looked and felt great, and I grabbed a belt on the way out. Quality workmanship at decent rates. You get what you pay for here. I'll be back with future needs when the time comes. read more

Onder is the best! He repaired my most loved leather backpack to be cool and flawless. Great quality work and service. Onder loves his craft. read more

I have two belts and a billfold from Onder that I bought about two years ago. I love them and use the billfold and one of the belts everyday. The design is simple and high quality. His products feel very sturdy in your hand. Onder is also an awesome person and a true craftsman. He does a lot of custom work and modifications as well. read more

Onder is the best for leather work!! Great person and so talented!! His price is fair and he's able to make items if you show him a picture of what you want. He is quite the artist with leather, and also sews patches onto leather coats and vests. I'd highly recommend going here for any leather needs!! read more

Thanks to Onder for the excellent, quick work repairing my motorcycle jacket zippers. I'll Be referring you to everyone!

Onder is the best leathers man in San Francisco, hands down. He makes time for each of his customers and you can tell he really cares about the work he distributes. If anything happens to anything you purchase from him, you can bring it back in. His custom work is beautiful, timely, and worth every penny!! read more
