I was inspired to make a DIY journal cover and went here with no experience of leather working. They have a bin of scrap leather for purchase and some sale items. Sale items are on refundable. Minimum purchase is a whole hide or half hide for bigger ones. Their smaller hides are lamb skin which was around $50-60 bucks for a medium size. Their cow hide, they can do half hide which is what I did since it was so big. I got quite a few journal covers out of that as well as a couple passport holders.

Wasn't willing to work with me on what I needed. For context I'm making a travelers journal and only needed a small amount, but said I had to buy the entire roll of leather and wasn't willing to cut it. If you're not willing to sell 3x5 leather fine, but don't be a huge a**hole about it.

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.

Unfortunately after picking up my bag I was very disappointed in the workmanship. The stitches are very messy and inconsistent, it is glued together now, but really doesn't look any better. They did offer to re-do it, but I'm afraid that it could end up worse based on the condition I received the bag back to me. Really expected more for the cost. I do not recommend.

What other choice did they leave me after cutting them too small to fit? Well... they gave me zero updates throughout the process and didn't return them until I followed up which seemed to magically happen at the exact moment they were ready. In all likelihood they'd been ready but they didn't want me to see what they did this time, and they were right to feel that way. The boots are now next level destroyed. The leather is scuffed and worn out all over the place to the point where there is a very, very obvious difference between the leather at the foot of the boot and the leather at the shaft which looks like it was beaten with a mallet. But that's not it! They're still two different sizes and still have crooked seams. I've sent photos and multiple messages and no one has even acknowledged me since they returned the boots like that. These are absolute scumbags who know what they did, won't take accountability, won't respond, and won't even credit me for the $318 I paid for them to ruin beyond repair boots that were $1,995 plus tax brought to them in brand new condition. Just scheduled time off from work to go to the court and file a small claim and I am FUMING that I need to do this. I sincerely hope this company goes out of business. You can see from the reviews here how little they care about the work they do to high value and often irreplaceable items and there is no room in this great city or anywhere for a business like that.

Shoutouts to Leather Spa bringing it back to life! On top of that, the turnaround time was so fast which meant so much to me. I'm beyond grateful to have my sentimental piece restored so beautifully. It looks just the same now as it did when I first got it. I highly recommend them to anyone needing expert care for their luxury items! 10/10 experience!

What I like most about them is their selection of leather trims, the color assortment and range in widths is unmatched.

For suede and skins I shop at Global Leather instead, as an independent designer I need all the help I can get with price.
