    Everyone takes a picture of the Harry Potter-esque storefront. You should too because it's fantastic.
    David H.

    I had read in the Washington Post about this store just the day before I needed to buy a refill for a pen I had picked up in Switzerland. Not the easiest thing to find locally. Figured I'd give it a shot. First, the Harry Potter-esque sign ia amazing. Not many places will spring for a creative sign like this anymore. Go ahead, take a picture. Just make sure you share it so that people will learn aboutbthia store. Second, they had the refills for my Swiss pen, plus in multiple colors and point sizes. Half the cheapest price I'd seen on Amazon too. The added bonus of supporting a brick and mortar 100 year old business was perfect. I ended up buying a refill for my Fisher Space pen also since they carry those also. The store is filled with high end brands such as Mont Blanc, along with more everyday brands like Cross. If you need a fountain pen, this is the place to get one. The owners were super helpful and happily answered all my questions whilst I was browsing. They also have a small selection of stationery items. They do repairs on pens. I assume that's more for the high end and antique pens. See the memorial for their long-time "Pen Doctor" who died during the Covid pandemic. So glad I just happened to read the article about this place, now I have a new local business I can support. Check them out if you have a chance.

    Coolest sign in the world....

    Upon entering. Your greeted and everything. They had sanitizer available at the front door which is a plus. The AC was on so ventilation was very good in terms of cool & fresh air circulation. They had a very good selection of pens. Everything was nicely organized by brands. The display cases were very clean and spotless. The employees are very very friendly and helpful. After walking in I was immediately helped and she was very friendly. Despite me asking a ton of questions and prices on various pens throughout the store. She was always calm and professional. She definitely knew about pens so if felt like a awesome experience. Pricing was very reasonable and comparable to online prices so that was definitely a plus. The overall store was very clean and highly organized. The general crowd is mainly adults middle & high class. The noise level was normal for a high end store. Quiet really. Parking isn't bad. It is however metered so it's usually around 2.75/hr on that block. There's also a district taco right next door. Overall A++++, Not really any downfalls. Customer for Life.

    A must visit for any pen, ink or paper enthusiast. Nice to see a brick and mortar store for pens still in existence in addition to their robust online presence.

    See all

I was told it would be done in two weeks and I never got a call. I dropped by today out of curiosity and I saw they're closed for the entire month of December. That would've been nice to know when I dropped it off. I still don't have it back. I haven't gotten a call. I haven't gotten a text. At least they were nice enough to put a sign up on their door saying they're closed for the entire month. I'll update once I get it back.

    Review for Bedos Leatherworks - Steve Doudaklian…read more The transformation of my vintage Florsheim Imperials is truly night and day. These shoes arrived at Bedos Leatherworks worn and tired, and what Steve returned to me looks like a masterpiece fresh out of a bespoke workshop. Steve didn't just resole them--he completely recrafted the shoes from the ground up with unmatched skill. The welt work, stitching, and finishing are flawless, far surpassing anything I've ever seen from factory production. Every detail was handled with precision, and the shoes now look better than when they were new. On top of that, Steve went above and beyond by creating custom shoe trees, beautifully stamped with the Imperial logo. It's that level of detail and pride in craftsmanship that makes his work so special. If you want to see your shoes not just restored but elevated, Bedos Leatherworks is the place. Steve's artistry proves that true craftsmanship can breathe new life into classics--and even surpass their original glory.

If you have some of their pieces, this is an affordable option to increase your inventory. No military discounts are offered but they did have some in store promotions displayed throughout the store. The store was clean, well lighted and organized. Sometimes you can enter a store and if not organized, make you want to leave. Just me? Monogramming is available in store and can be done while you wait. If not, you can walk about and continue shopping and return to pick up your purchases. It seemed to be a 15 minute wait and there are a variety of fonts and colors to choose from, up to 3-4 letters on certain items. They even have fragrances! The samples on display have fragrance only or you can opt for a gift set. normally stores have gift sets around the holidays but things were well stocked. From wallets, umbrellas, luggage and purses, this location had quality selections. These items are at a higher price point but the warranty and level of service that go along with the Tumi name are top notch. I definitely plan to return and peruse their inventory. I would recommend to friends and frequent here. The customer service was fantastic and Jimmy did an outstanding job helping me select garment bags and educating me on the features.
