Wow, what a great store. With great staff! That one star review is a bit baffling to me (us)…read more
We have a leather sofa, with a rip. Internet searches, and YouTube videos, suggest going to an auto parts store for the repair kit. Well I have been driving past this Tandy Leather location for over 20 years. Never once was I curious about the store, beyond the Tandy name.
Well when Thuy got it in here mind to fix this sofa, and after watching many a YouTube video, I said, "Hey, what about the leather store on 377?" Thuy read the reviews, and was not optimistic. She decided to call first, and received from very helpful information from Sherry. We decided to go check it out in person.
First off, Wow! I can not get over all the options in this place. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn't this. Anything to do with leather is here. Leather of all sorts. Things to decorate leather with. Tools. Dyes. Even project kits, some very intricate.
We met Sherry, and she was super helpful. Helped us with repair ideas, gave us some scraps (to put behind the area needing repair), taught us about the special glues used to bond leather, then told us about dying and color matching. So helpful. Thuy thinks she is all set.
We also learned there are classes here too.
We enjoyed our visit very much. Glad the negative review did not keep us away.
If you know nothing about leather, or even if do and haven't been to this store, you should check this place out.
Bottom line: What a cool find, 20 years ago!
