I am so torn. I like Rimowa luggage. If the place is open, the staff is usually nice. Store hours…read morethough are a best case scenarios guess and not true opening hours. On Friday, July 5th 5:45 I encountered a locked door (well inside the regular opening hours). This was the third time in a year that I went to Harvard Square in vain. Occasionally I need repairs. Leather World seems to be the only Rimowa option around Boston. A half dozen repairs were done okay, but not always on the first try. Often they leave glue residues inside and never make an effort to remove dents. I had repairs done in Frankfurt at the the airport and in Beijing with much better results.

This store has beautiful, high-quality luggage that I dream of being able to afford…read more Until then, it has plenty else that is useful: every kind of travel adapter you could possibly need for traveling to any country in world. Savvy-traveler items like a money belt; a clothesline for stringing up in your hotel room so you don't have to bring so damn many clothes or overpay for hotel laundry service; the world's best-engineered travel toiletry bottles (won't break or ooze open in your suitcase; you'll never need to buy another set after buying these). The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The last time I was there, a salesperson talked me out of buying a voltage converter so I could be prepared for every possible scenario on an upcoming trip, and told me that almost all electronics made within the last 5 years have built-in converters. Talking me out of buying things I don't need--now that's a store I'll go back to.

What a gem of a store!…read more It's a very curated vintage store. They have a really great collection of jewelry. I was particularly impressed with their ring selection. I have made two separate purchases so far and intend to come back again! Everything is super charming, like the drawer of "little guys" (photos attached!) For in store events they have a DJ playing records, you can shop, listen to music, and purchase a beverage to enjoy while you shop. The staff really care about what they do and it shows in the details.

Their selection is great, their staff is friendly, and the store lay-out is super logical. I ended up grabbing something from their jewelry selection--def worth a visit!

There is a small display of bags at the workplace on Beach St. in the Leather District near…read moreChinatown. I got a very nice handbag for less than half the cost of buying it over the internet. I'm pretty sure you could get most of the styles on the website as long as you have the model number if you don't like the bags on display, since this appears to be a small warehouse. The outlet is open from 8:30 to 3 Monday through Friday. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the market for a leather bag. They have some nice leather backpacks, too.

I think most of their inventory is mix of vintage and maybe some recycled vintage. It looked mostly vintage though. Prices are usually $30-$55 or so. It's not the cheapest but I think most vintage is usually not dirt cheap. Some of the dresses were really cute and I would have totally worn them!
