I can buy leather cheaper, from websites or even from Amazon, but I went in the store looking for a…read moresupply I thought they would have. I wasn't acknowledged nor even glanced at, which is weird. This is in my neighborhood, and I visited the store to find something that wasn't leather related but was something they should've had in their stock. They have only a few of their kits that i can find at Hobby Lobby for cheaper. The leather selection is really good, and really expensive. I want to make a traveler's journal, but know not to go there. they have leather stamps, and paint, which is nice. On the websites I found the leather for shipping free, and alot less. There is apparently classes, or what not. I found alot of tools, and alot of things like leather lace, but nothing I was looking for. But, I would return for tools, and possibly 9 x 12 pieces of leather, but no one raised an eye at me. The price of the leather purse kit is outrageous. Really I'm not interested in this store.

Many of the pieces have funny or profound sayings on them that can give you a chuckle. Some of them they even print in house. The stock ebbs and flows, which is kind of nice since you can find some things that are a little unique. There's a nice a nice little assortment of KC Pride tshirts and other clothing options that you can browse through as well.

If you're at all familiar with the recent influx of KC pride t-shirts, I'd wager that you've seen…read moreNormal Human's wares. They've been selling in boutiques around town such as The Bunker, Westside Storey and MASH Handmade. Good news! They're going big time and have opened up their own retail space on Westport Road! The corner storefront is pretty large, and right now I'd say at least 75% of the space is dedicated to production. There are a ton of windows and thus natural light, and it's a clean and airy space that is a pleasure to be in. The merchandise is rather limited but well curated, and a number of other local brands are represented. Off the top of my head I can recall seeing products from local businesses Owl + Mouse, Sandlot Goods and Vintage Edison. This is, of course in addition to a full line of Normal Human's t-shirts for man, woman and child. They're brand new, in fact I don't think they even had a sign when I visited. As they navigate from wholesale to retail, I look forward to seeing what they come up with. I highly suggest a visit to Normal Human.

If you don't realize what a treasure it is to have such a shop nearby, try googling in major cities, much larger than KC, sometime, for luggage repair. You'll come up empty.

What a great and helpful little store. Bag and Baggage is a really great spot if you're in the…read moremarket for their namesake items and so much more. The shop has a large selection of backpacks, luggage, and important travel goods. It's a great place to grab an outlet converter or something else you'll surely need in a trip. Bag and Baggage also carries some really high quality leather portfolios for note taking, wallets, and other goods. Besides items in stock, Bag and Baggage also does custom luggage name tags. They were able to change the names on three pieces of luggage in a pretty fast fashion. The work looks great and will definitely last. The shop was also considerate enough to put the old tags in a ziploc bag for us to potentially reuse or keep. The workers at Bag and Baggage are also super sweet. They've helped my family out so many times and done such great custom work. They were also very helpful when we forgot a bag in the store and kept it until we could pick it up.

I was told I could pick them up in 3 days for a charge of about $18. I'm so impressed with the result! The toplifts look and feel sturdy. Even the scraped heels looks better after the damaged areas have been blackened to match the rest of the heels.

I was apprehensive with who might be able to do justice and not ruin them. I took a shot with GKH furniture repair and restoration. I'd seen the reviews, and I now can say the reviews weren't exaggerated. When I first called Greg last November he was honest about the time fragment it would take. I unfortunately called during the holidays, which was not good. I later called in March, amd he told me then, sort of leveling with me that this sort of work takes time, like 4-6 months. It wasn't a bad wait and I was patient. The saying goes, "all good things come to those who wait," and it's true if you want a master to handle your antiques. I've sanded, stained wood before, and it's no easy task. It's a time-consuming endeavor, and I also didn't trust myself restoring antique bookcases. In retrospect the price was reasonable for the result. I now have an admirable place to keep my Ulysses, and restored bookcases my ancestors would be proud of.

Not just finishes but structure has been made like new. This is a family heirloom, and we feel we will have the ability to hand this beautiful set down for generations to come. If you have something you care about, trust GKH to do the work well. They estimated the time it would require to complete the work and quoted us the exact price. They finished in half the estimated time for the price they quoted. We could not be more pleased that we made the decision to work with them!
