Brought in a purse that needed the strap shortened. Did a fantastic job. Doesn't even look like any repair was done. Quality work at an affordable price-- something not easily found these days. read more

My son got a wallet a year ago on a vacation and I went back this weekend to get a new work bag. I am over the moon happy with the quality and price of the bag. I will be back for sure. read more

We needed some patches sown onto a leather vest, we dropped it off and within hours it was ready! Great work, highly recommended!!

Great service and very knowledgeable. Helped with a camera strap and went above and beyond my needs.

I was looking for an alligator wallet for my husband and decided to stop in here. Sure glad I did!! I honestly didn't expect to find one on such short notice, local to boot! Today I mentioned this place as we were across the street. He went in and found a beautiful black belt! Very well made goods. I wouldn't hesitate to stop in for anything leather (or alligator!) in the future! read more

Came in to see if I could get my bag repaired. The clasp that fixes the straps to my bag had been lost somewhere along the journey. Unfortunately, my fine leather bag is a custom piece and that specific clasp wasn't available. I received a quote on what the work would cost to temporarily remove the lining, access the back of the clasps, Remove both, install new clasps, and reseal the lining. I was told about $75. Which I thought was an excellent deal. I inquired what I could do about bringing some of the sheen back to my beautiful leather and was pointed to a reasonably priced bottle of leather polish which I did buy. I took a look around the store. An incredible assortment of leather goods awaits you. I found a dream list item in a beautiful pair of black leather driving gloves that I am definitely coming back for. Everything was priced fairly and the quality of the craftsmanship was exquisite. I requested that some marble bags be made up for purchase and was told that they would be. I'm so excited for my future customer experiences at TLS. A great company with great people turning the gears. See you soon! read more

This is the second time bringing a bag in for repair. My Louis Vuitton bag was repaired with great care and skill. As with my previous interaction, they went above and beyond. I HIGHLY recommend the Leather Company for any and all leather needs. read more

I flew into Monterey this morning and tore my satchel strap getting off the plane. I stopped in to see if they could do a quick repair. Very reasonable price, excellent and friendly customer service, and they took care of it in 10 minutes. Really appreciated the help by the two gents running the shop. read more

I stopped by here to look at getting a wallet for my son's birthday and the person working here was rude. The selection was way overpriced for the quality. I had hoped to purchase something from a local place but I guess I'll go right back to buying stuff online. read more

This place is great!!! I took my LV to get repaired and they did a wonderful job. They matched the leather as best as they could and came out perfect! The price was a steal! The man even tied my bag for me with the leather strap I bought on top of my repair which was also a steal. Great price, great customer service! I will definitely willbe going back for further repairs! read more

After shopping around online for a couple hours I decided to buy a couple belts from The Leather Company. I got a new job and I needed to replace some old cheap ones I used to wear. I always try to support local businesses, especially if the product is superior to major brands. These belts are incredible quality, competitively priced, and look great! Will be shopping here for more leather goods in the future! read more

I love quality leather products. I happened in their store and John taught me all about the different kinds of leather and the things they can do with it. He made me an amazing custom ostrich belt that I got to choose the leather and the price was extremely reasonable. He had a variety of unique things for sale at really good prices. All of the products were top quality. read more

I am still in amazement (and shock)! We walked in and were instantly greeted - helped immediately! We had custom patches made (both for gifts) the patches were designed and made right then in the shop while we waited, AND we left with both patches sewn on! We are amazed at the expert level of craftsmanship and customer service - love this place! Already thinking of other custom leather gifts to have made! Thank you so much! It is such a great feeling to be surprised by great service and artistry! read more

I tried to like this store on Lighthouse but it was just strange and unfriendly. The dead animal decor just doesn't fit the neighborhood and the owner was rude. He gets two stars because he still has a belt of mine that I'd like back! read more

Good service and quality products. Knowledgeable in care of their products and reasonably priced. When compared with another store on the touristy Cannery Row street with the same product, it marked-up $40 more then reduced to a cost of $10 more than what I paid. read more

I went to the Leather Company to have them make me a unique watch band. The cost was reasonable for custom work. The wait was a little long but well worth it. read more

Awesome shop. Had some custom leather guitar hanging straps made here and a bag repaired; small jobs, both, but the folks behind the counter were incredibly accommodating and easy to work with. Great selection of colors and types of leather and the craftsmen are clearly experts. High recommended! read more

I've been a customer for four years after my first experience in this store and will never shop anywhere else for belts, wallets, and anything else they make. Four years ago I was walking around on Cannery Row and my belt came undone (cheap quality) and broke while I was here. After walking around pulling my pants up every few seconds, I searched Google for anywhere local for a belt and The Leather Company was my closest option. As soon as I entered the store an older gentleman(I'm in my 20's at this time) was very polite. I explained to him what happened, and he fixed my belt within a few minutes while I browsed the store and wouldn't charge me for the repair. I wasn't even a customer at this point, but the service was better than anywhere else I've been. From then on, all my belts and wallets are from this store. Once again, thank you to the man who helped, I tell everyone of this experience in this store. read more

Do not buy from this company!! I ordered from them, paid for 2 day shipping. And after 8 business days my order wasn't even shipped. After reaching out, I was told that the items I ordered weren't in stock. Do not buy from this company! read more

This shop made me a custom leather purse. They do beautiful work! They closely followed my requests (placement and size of pockets, zippers, etc. and I LOVE the finished color (purple - with grey lining). Per John's request, I left my old purse with them as a model to follow. He warned me that it would take a few months - which it did. I now have a LOVELY purple purse which I'll happily use for years! read more

I have a Mexican tooled leather satchel that needed a crossbody strap. I went to John and he listened to me, found leather that matched the purse EXACTLY, measured, and made the strap for me in less than 24 hours. I took my hubby back and we found a business card holder. The card holder was just a smidgen too small and John said "No problem" and made a brand new one for us just big enough to hold my hubby's business cards. This is definitely the go-to leather shop! So many selections and it appears that John can make just about anything you think you need. Except shoes. He says he doesn't do shoes. I will definitely be going back! read more

We had a beautiful black leather couch that faded with time over 18 years. It went from black to areas of charcoal gray and worse. John re-dyed the couch, chair and ottoman back to a dark rich beautiful black again, I feel as if I have a brand new couch. John's expertise is top notch and I was not only happy with him as a business man, but his work and knowledge with leather is outstanding! Thank you John for the GREAT work!! read more

I got a belt from them and I am very impressed with the quality and the looks. I'm so glad to have them in town!
