Besides the great quality in leather you can also find second hand shoes, bags, gloves, belts,.. in this shop. You must wonder why I am promoting this unshitty leathershop.
Because not only are the prices very low, this Moroccan owner (I think) is so concerned with the quality, he often throws shitty stuff away. Or sells it in his shop for 'an apple and an egg'. How should you proceed. Listen very carefully I shall say this only once: go inside the shop, behind the first row of boots there's a gap where he keeps shoe related stuff. Then check for a bag, the shoes (or leather) that he doesn't like or that he has chosen to be not good enough, will be in this bag to eventually throw away. It is absolutely not his goal to give these things away.
Mostly I take a look in the bag and act like ' my nose is bleeding' (you should really look this one op). If he sees you doing this he will tell you that the stuff in the bag is bad en garbage en then you have to ask him polite if you can have it then. His reaction is never the same. I guess you just have to be lucky. I myself found some great shoes and bags in this bag. Often with a small defect and easily fixable. But It's very important to do this subtle, do not come by every week so that he doesn't get annoyed.
