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.

My first pick up they give me the bag back not even properly glued or painted fully. I brought it back and told them to try again! After picking it up a second time it was still not fully painted. You have to be kidding me, not going back a third time. Would not bring anything here ever again or recommend it to anyone. Avoid!!

I brought clogs in to be re-soled. thought it was a straightforward job. He did not attempt to…read morematch the color of the original soles at all, made them 1/2 inch thicker which completely changed the look of the shoe, cut the edges of the new soles so poorly so that there are still loose pieces of rubber coming out AND to top it off whatever he did to remove the old soles and attach new ones has left cuts, scrapes and scuffs on the wood, as well as glue residue on the grommets. Additionally, he opted to polish the shoe (didn't ask for that) and did such a sloppy job that there is polish all over the wood. All I wanted was new soles for my shoes and he managed to ruin them. Highly advise you go elsewhere, terrible craftsmanship and cost me $50

I reached out to several shops through Yelp's quote request blast system, including leather workers, dry cleaners, and tailors. These guys were the quickest to respond, quoting me a flat fee of $30 (paid upfront) with a 1-day turnaround. They even offered pickup and delivery, which made the whole process super convenient. The job was done the next day, complete with photos of the alteration. Their pricing was very competitive, especially considering other shops either weren't willing to take the job, quoted 2 week turn arounds. Definitely the most reasonable pricing. Best of all, they saved the rivets! The belt looks fantastic and fits perfectly now. Fast, professional, and friendly service--I highly recommend them.

UPDATE: Because I very, very badly wanted to avoid having to take Leather Spa to small claims court…read more- which should not be necessary and wastes everyone's time - I agreed to send them back for stretching despite having been adamant from the start about not wanting the boots stretched. 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.
