Out of all the places I went to with this project, the guy behind the counter at this place was the best at discussing the issue and their pricing was the most fair. Even though I didn't do the job, because the price made made the project infeasible, when I am next in need of shoe repairs, I would take my items here before anywhere else in the area and I would probably not bother to talk to another place.

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.

I had lost track of time and needed him to have them done in 3 days. He was able to have them ready just in time and I was so very grateful!

I said to him, "I don't know if you remember me, but you fixed a pair of boots for me a couple years ago before a trip. I ended up getting engaged on that trip, so here are my wedding shoes!" Haha He did a perfect job and was so kind and gracious. I forgot that he is cash only, but he let me take my shoes and run up the street to a Chase ATM to get cash! He is just the nicest, sweetest man and so very talented at his craft.

I reached out to several shops through Yelp's quote request blast system, including leather workers, dry cleaners, and tailors. These guys were the quickest to respond, quoting me a flat fee of $30 (paid upfront) with a 1-day turnaround. They even offered pickup and delivery, which made the whole process super convenient. The job was done the next day, complete with photos of the alteration. Their pricing was very competitive, especially considering other shops either weren't willing to take the job, quoted 2 week turn arounds. Definitely the most reasonable pricing. Best of all, they saved the rivets! The belt looks fantastic and fits perfectly now. Fast, professional, and friendly service--I highly recommend them.
