    Having known that Leather Spa is Christian Louboution's unofficial official repair shop for quite a while, I wanted to wait until I could actually take my Loubs to a physical Leather Spa store. Sure, they can do it all online, but nothing beats doing something personally. So on my latest New York trip, my shoes were sufficiently beat up enough after almost two years of wearing them to justify a trip here. Staff here are great. I really wasn't sure whether to go for a full redo of the red lacquer, which quite honestly I didn't see the point of because the second you walk out the door it's getting scratched again, or the red rubber sole, which I wasn't sure about at first but warmed up to once they told me how they did it. Basically, they scratch off all the remaining red lacquer on the bottom of the shoe and then put the rubber sold there so that it's evenly layered with the remaining lacquer. After discussing my options with staff, I decided to go with the rubber sole, because quite honestly as much as the lacquer is the trademark Louboutin feature, I'm not going to waste my time redoing it again and again and again. Also, my shoes did feature some general wear and tear, so I needed that fixed. They grabbed my address and told me it would be about 3-4 weeks to ship back home to California. Obviously, I couldn't write this review without actually receiving the shoes and evaluating their work. I can see why Christian Louboutin himself has blessed Leather Spa. The red rubber sole fits perfectly, and all the scratches and imperfections my shoes had gathered over the nearly two years of use were all buffed out. Honestly, it almost felt as if my shoes were new again. I am extremely happy with the work Leather Spa did. Staff were great on explaining exactly how everything would work, and the shoes were fixed as described. Since I have yet another pair of Loubs, I'll definitely bring them to Leather Spa once I need to

    Perfect extra holes on my Gucci belt.
    Cin C.

    I recently lost a ton of weight and my brand new Gucci belt that I purchased just a few months before was several inches too long. I went to the Gucci boutique to ask them to add extra holes. They told me that they don't add holes but referred to this place. They said that they refer lots of their clients to this location because they do good work. Good enough for Gucci, good enough for me! I had the choice of getting the leather cut shorter (they would cut near the buckle) or add more holes. They quoted me $48 to cut it shorter or $2 per hole. No brainer. I did the holes. I only needed two extra holes on the belt. I picked it up an hour later and it was done and perfect. The two extra holes looked exactly like the original holes. Evenly spaced and the holes were the exact size. Final price was $4. They don't even add tax. I was so happy with the service and the quality of work that I just gave her a $5 and told her to keep the change. I ruined a different Gucci belt several years ago by taking it to a random shoe repair place that placed the holes too far apart and not in line with the other holes. It completely ruined my belt and I believe they charged like $10 for the holes. Do yourselves a favor and bring your belts to this place. I have several other belts at home that need shortening. I will be bringing them soon!

    Torn LV Neverfull Purse
    Massiel Q.

    Leather Spa is a life saver. My LV Neverfull purse side strap got caught on a revolving door, and my purse was torn. Thankfully I took my LV to Leather Spa for repair and it is now brand new! Great pricing and fast service. Definitely recommend! I also brought in my Gucci belt for extra holes, and this was service was done on the spot within 5 minutes.

    All they do is spray paint your bag and charge you hundreds for it

    I brought a Chanel and a Celine bag here. Both were hack jobs yet it cost me almost $700? All this place does is spray paint the bags with the color, maybe rub it down with some generic leather oil. Both my bags started cracking within a week of getting it back from them. They are definitely scam artists here. Never again! What a ripoff

    Best Shine in Town!
    Dennis G.

    Leather Spa is fantastic. I have only had positive experiences. The place to go for shoe and leather repairs as well as shoe shines. The customer service is excellent, courteous and professional.

    They did a great job of restoring a vintage Chanel bag. I really wish I took a 'before' shot as it was really beat up and had uneven color and scratches. I would say they are expensive but worth it. They also got a zipper on one of my Jerome Dreyfus bags unstuck.

    I am not happy with the service I received from The Leather Spa on John Street.

    My bag has the same handles which my old repair shop sewed on. When I picked up my bag the staff member at the register said they "tightened" the handles. Initally, when I took my bag in I was told by their staff that leather handles would be replaced. Why would I pay over $120.00 to have the handles tightened? That doesnt make since. I am very disappointed.

    I had a disappointing experience at this shop. I brought in a pair of $230 flats and paid $180 to repair them. Given the cost, I expected nothing but perfection in my repair. However upon picking my shoes up I was disappointed to see that repairing the sole of the shoe entailed them fixing only the sole of the heel and the top of the sole, not also the middle of the sole, aka the entire sole. This was a cheap attempt not to replace all of it. I was mislead when I dropped the shoes off and was told that would be done. How a shop could lie to you and charge such a high price is disturbing and upsetting. I've never had an issue at other shoe repairs between what is communicated will be done and the work that is actually done. I will advise the shoemaker not to recommend this shoe repair to customers. Please be painfully explicit if you intend to spend your money here Photos demonstrate the lack of work done.

    Before

    Let me make one thing clear- I have been using leather spa for years now. I have referred countless friends and family members here. However i had a very poor experience today as part of the customer service. I handed over a pair of Sophia Webster metallic shoes for a tap. The right show had two small scratches as pictured below. When I got the shoe back, there were many more scratches on it. I asked about the scratches- and the leather spa had taken pictures of the scratches from before as well. The manager DID NOT acknowledge that there were more scratches when I picked up the shoes, even though the pictures clearly show them. I was not looking for money back or anything. He also said that there was nothing they could do about it. Fine. But a simple ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of their mistake would have sufficed. Very disappointed in the customer service I received!

    If you love dress shoes, then you know that this is a very specialized job which is done at very few cobblers in NYC.
