I was quoted $120 per strap end, which seemed wildly overpriced. . Thankfully, I decided to get a second opinion and went to Mike's Shoe Repair on Topanga & Dumetz. I'm so glad I did! Mike charged $20 per side, and the quality of the work is outstanding. The repair is so clean it looks like the damage never even happened. If you're considering Savignar, I'd strongly recommend shopping around first. I felt taken advantage of as though he saw an expensive brand and I'd spend anything. As for Mike's, it's a hidden gem, honest service, fair pricing, and excellent craftsmanship. Highly recommend supporting businesses that are fair... brand or not. Very disappointed as I know Savinar to be in the community a long time but maybe will pay unreasonable charges.

I was just going to pick up some tools and materials to see what I come up with. I walked out empty handed, but my mind was swimming with possibilities after speaking with Wayne. He's a true craftsman with a wealth of knowledge he openly shares. He told me to bring my design, offered to help me get the pieces I need and show me how to do it. Who does that? I really appreciate him taking the time to briefly explain the craft, showing me examples, and providing straight answers for my project. That shaves off expensive trial and error investments. Despite his business having low search-ability with a dated website website, I learned that he's quite in demand and his classes fill up quick. I'm sold and look forward to bringing in my blueprints.

Wayne was GREAT! Walked in one day and showed him a picture…read moreof what I needed to be repaired in leather. He gave me a fair price and an approximate window when he would be available for the work. True to his word, he called me a while later to let me know it was my turn. Once he laid eyes on the suitcase, he talked me through the different ways in which he could attempt the repair. I greatly appreciated this and felt very confident in his abilities because of this. The repair of the suitcase handle, replacement really, was done so well you can't even tell any repair was done. A Master craftsman in my opinion.

I don't live in the area, so I went to pick it up when I had another reason to be in the area, which was 2 1/2 weeks later. When I got to the shop, I waited 5 minutes before the same man acknowledged my presence. Then it took him 15-20 minutes to bring my suitcase to me. I suspect he was replacing the zipper pulls while I was waiting, which I could have done when I 1st dropped it off. The zipper pulls appear to be OK. I mean, what's the big deal. He didn't say thank you. He just handed me the suitcase, checked to be sure I had prepaid and walked away.

I tried to dab with water but after drying it ended up being discolored and had a crunchy texture where the beer soaked in.

Gary is the owner and runs his leather repair/design business from his home (see my pics, he let me know it was okay to take pics too- just FYI). Told him what I needed and scheduled an appointment, as he was able to see me right away. Gary is VERY detailed oriented, experienced and you can tell that he is an expert at his craft. As he explained every detail about the adjustment(s) about my belt, discussed my options and I was impressed by his precise measurements. Business is located in a nice neighborhood, I felt safe. Gary is knowledgeable, friendly and top-notch expert at what he does and would definitely trust him with any leather repair or design work that I would need in the future. Thank you, Gary (Barini Leather) for your five-star worthy service and craftsmanship.

Even though the store was busy (it was Friday after Thanksgiving), Vanessa consistently came back to help me as, together, we navigated to find my perfect pair of jeans.

With Vanessa's help, I spent significantly less time at the store than I usually do and walked away with a fabulous pair of jeans and an awesome top. Overall, excellent customer service.

The next day we go to return the items, because they were both too big (either too long, waist size was wrong or color not accepted) and the woman "manager" told us that the only returns they do is for store credit or an exchange, and accused of of "stretching" them out. They didn't have our sizes in store and so we wanted the refund to our original card so we can purchase another pairs in the future online. She refused to do the return so we took our items and left. I contacted customer service and explained the situation. She was finally able to contact the store near where we live after two weeks and confirmed WITH the manager at the Arden mall (Sacramento) that we will be in to return the items. She called us four days ago to confirm accepting the return EXACTLY HOW IT SAYS ON THE RECEIPT , which is to the original firm of payment. We go today to the Arden location and Regis tried to give us the same excuse that we can only give store credit or exchange. I told him that we already contacted customer service and they spoke to the manager at this location and she said we can. He denied, and said that the manager said YESTERDAY that they can only do exchanges or store credit, so I called customer service. Alejandra L. , the woman I spoke with on the phone and e-mail was very helpful. Liz, the supervisor, I spoke to on the phone today was very helpful & she spoke to Regis and told him to give me my refund to the card I used and he did! It just blows my mind that it took damn near two weeks to get this finally resolved and it took over 5 people to make one return!! I would never buy from this store ever again due to this experience and I think it's something to consider before making such a big purchase like these $100+ jeans!!!

The pricing was fair, the work was outstanding, and when I wasn't 100% thrilled with the chain I had ordered, we had a full discussion to get to the bottom of the issue. Simple fix, just a bit too shiny and needed a bit more antiquing. Malila said, We want you to be happy and not just okay with your purchase.
