I used Outback Leather in 2016 for a repair. To this day I'm still very appreciative of their work…read moreand realized I never wrote a review so here I am. I have been using a very cool looking leather key fob ever since I got it as a souvenir in Italy back in 2002. It looks like a miniature whip (don't ask ;-)) and I love it because I can easily feel the fringe part in the bottomless pit of my purse. In fact, it's actually very hard to misplace my keys because of this distinctive fringe. Anyway, a couple years ago I noticed the leather piece that attaches the metal keyring to the leather handle of the whip was starting to tear. I went to a couple places to see if they could repair it and came up empty handed. Then, finally, it completely tore. I tried jerry-rigging it back together but it looked like crap, didn't hold together, it just didn't work. Oh, well, all good things come to an end, so I put my keys on a "normal" key fob. Ugh, that was when I started misplacing my keys. What a pain!!!! The other bad part was having my favorite key fob sitting useless in a drawer. I couldn't part with it but I also dislike keeping broken things. Double ugh. People write "Ron is amazing" or some other accolade. Believe it! I found Outback Leather on a Google search. Somewhere it said they could do any leather repair, big or small, no matter how weird. I had nothing to lose. As soon as I walked in I felt like I was in a time machine and had gone back to bygone days. Remember the days when people actually had things repaired and very little was thrown away? I do. There are tools of the trade everywhere... piles of scrap leather, old projects, new projects, relics of the horse racing days at Laurel Racetrack, big old wooden workbenches, industrial leather sewing machine. I can go on for days. It's like a working museum. I wish I could be a fly-on-the-wall because I LOVE watching people make and create stuff. So Ron looks at my key fob and says this is nothing. In less than 10 minutes he had it repaired! He could have done it quicker if he didn't talk on the phone then greet another client. Not only did he match the color of the torn piece of leather but he even matched the texture of it, too. Then there was the "entertainment". What a wonderful, knowledgeable businessman. He explained all the different steps he was doing, even telling me the different ways he could have done it. We even talked about running a small business (which I also do), growing up in PG county and how he got started in business. It's going to be a sad day when he retires. No one around here has his skill nor knowledge base. What a treasure he and his business is!!!

Ron does amazing work on any project, big or small. I have recently had 2 jackets brought in, one…read morefor just a clean and treat, one for a zipper replacement, and the craftsmanship was so good, I had a custom made belt done as well! His delivery times are right in line with the estimates he gives, and the pricing is VERY good for the work being performed. I do not hesitate to recommend Ron and his team to anyone I know that needs leather repair work performed. Outback Leather has earned a customer for life!

Returned to Bedo's today with another problem - this one much easier than rebuilding a 5' leather…read morejaguar (which he did BEAUTIFULLY for me in the past). Steve does beautiful work, even on the small jobs, and he is such a nice person! Five stars and so nice to see him again!

I honestly feel very disappointed with the work done on my belt. As you can see from the pictures,…read morethis is how my belt looks after the "reconditioning" service. Really? I paid $60 and waited approximately one week, only to receive my belt back looking almost exactly the same as when I dropped it off. When I brought the belt to the shop, I specifically explained that I wanted the **color of the leather to be evened out** and the leather properly reconditioned. The man assured me that he understood what I wanted and that he would take care of it. However, when I picked it up, the color was still uneven, and I could barely see any difference in the condition or appearance of the leather. This is not an ordinary $100 belt. It is a collectible belt worth more than $1,000, which is exactly why I was willing to pay $60 for professional restoration and trusted your shop with it. When I picked it up, I was told that the belt might not look different but they had applied a water repellent spray. I paid for the belt to be reconditioned and improved in appearance, not simply sprayed with water repellent. I can purchase a similar spray for around $10 at Walmart and apply it myself at home. I feel that I did not receive the service I paid for. If the shop could not even out the leather color or achieve the result I requested, I believe I should have been told that before the work was performed. I am very disappointed and honestly feel like I was scammed out of $60. I expected professional workmanship. Edited Note: I will not bring the belt back to the shop or waste another week waiting for additional work. Quite honestly, this workmanship is a shame and extremely disappointing and to whoever responded to my review, if you come back to read this, please tell me what you think--how does it look to you? When you said you tried to do your best.. Ps. The scratches on leather was not there when I dropped it off but appears after work done.

I am always looking out for a deal! and I found one on poshmark, someone was selling a very used…read moreand horribly repainted Vintage Chanel Beige Double classic flap, for a steal. I scooped it up fast. When I received it it was in rough shape. They had repainted the bag everywhere and I mean everywhere - the grommets, the chain, on the turn lock. The paint job was also fading and rubbed off in certain spots, so the original color was poking through. On top of it all there was also pen marks on the inside flap. I debated where or not to send it in to get restored or just use it as is. I decided that since the bag is considered an investment piece then I needed to do everything I could to preserve it. I contacted Leather Surgeons. I uploaded pictures of the bag and they sent me a quote. I got the bag spa service about $600, but only because I added insurance. Then I waited, I sent it out and got confirmation that it was received 7/9/2026, and it came back yesterday 8/19/2026.(UPS signature required) I sent emails while waiting for the bag just to check up on the progress and LS got back to me every time. The wait was worthwhile. When I opened the box I couldn't believe how the bag looked. I was so happy with the bag. It literally looks brand new. I am so happy I decided to send the bag to Leather Surgeons, they are worth the hype. They have earned their reputation and I will be sending out two more bags to them. I would recommend their services to anyone. the pictures do not do the restoration justice

They provided a full and honest initial estimate and were able to stick to it throughout the…read moreprocess. They had very user friendly mail in service and a surprisingly quick turn around. The work they did was fantastic and they even included a certificate of authenticity in a nice folder (which was not expected but very much appreciated). The work was very well priced. I am confident that they helped me build equity in my collectible vintage handbag!
