The person at the counter told me to remove four inches, and I trusted their guidance. When I picked it up, it didn't fit at all because they had taken off too much. I was then told they would add the leather back and I could come pick it up, so I made another trip. When I arrived, nothing had been done, and the actual repair person told me he couldn't add the leather back after all. Later the story changed again, saying they could add only two inches, but that I would have to pay more. At that point, I decided to replace the belt entirely. There was inconsistent communication and no guarantee of good results, and I didn't want to keep driving back and forth. Based on my experience, I wouldn't trust their recommendations or their workmanship.

3/2/2026: DOH~I forgot RSR is closed MONDAYS--I wanted picking up two repaired tote bags!…read more 3/6/2026: I picked up my two repaired tote bags, i.e., both will last for no less than FIFTY YEARS OR MORE! Aside, after retrieving my two tote bags, I immediately began using the black tote bag for carrying purchased shopping items while the Gianni Versace shopping tote carried my personal items. Preface: Slavik, the owner of RSR, i.e., Roseville Shoe Repair replaced the main zipper for the Gianni Versace tote bag, re-sewed/reinforced the exterior seams, reinforced the interior silk compartment's lining seams, and replaced the interior tote's compartment zipper. In addition, Slavik replaced the black tote's warped, old zipper--replaced tote with a new zipper and sewed via attaching two new black leather tote handles due to the original handles were literally disintegrating. FYI and BTW: What are the reasons the inability throwing or recycling either tote bag away? Why waste money, energy, and time repairing two "worthless" tote bags, eh, Shirley? WELP . . . Because the Lancôme black tote bag was the tote bag my Mom gave me along with the largest Lancôme skin care and make-up collection in production for my birthday present seven years before she passed away, i.e., the black tote bag possesses tremendously endearing, sentimental value. Moreover, the Gianni Versace tote bag was a sample tote created from the Gianni Versace's Future Shopping Tote Bag Collection before Gianni passed away. Anyway, the tote's marketing premise was to be sold as an upscale, shopping tote but, the tote abruptly stopped its preproduction creative and manufacturing processes which was unfortunately never manufactured nor distributed due to Gianni's demise~so sad . . . Anyway, I received the Gianni Versace shopping tote bag as a birthday present from Samonnim, a Seoul, South Korean Designer Bag Owner I know who worked with Gianni Versace. Backstory: Samonnim was designing the shopping tote bag on behalf of Gianni Versace's Future Designer Of The Shopping Tote Bag Collection. Therefore, the Gianni Versace shopping tote bag also possesses an extremely high, sentimental, historical value as well as an awesome birthday gift from Samonnim's heart. Finally, Slavik: Thank you so very much for repairing the main compartment zipper for my Sven Leather Backpack Purse, the Lancôme black tote bag my deceased Mother gave me, and also, the Gianni Versace's Shopping Tote Bag which will never be designed nor replicated!!!! All bags you repaired for me are PRICELESS! Besides, I highly recommended all VA Mather/McClellan Hospital Primary Care Physicians and VA Employees have their orthopedic shoes, purses, etc., repaired at RSR, i.e., Roseville Shoe Repair.
