"Better than new"…read more I had a fantastic experience with Luggage & Leather Depot on the good ol' Hamden Road. I was dashing out to a meeting a week or so ago. Grabbed the trusty messenger bag con laptop, and bang! - strap broke, and everything spilled onto the floor. I collected everything, checked to see what had happened, and proceeded to be late to my meeting. When I arrived back home, the first thing I did was try to locate a leather repair shop, and the depot was at the top of the list, and less than a mile from me. I called, and the gent said that they would likely be able to fix it, so I took a walk over, and dropped off the bag. In less than 3 days, Mr. Kim called to inform me that he'd completed the repair. Again, I walked over to retrieve my Mark & Graham bag for a grand total of $38. Not only did I just save a few hundred dollars by not having to buy a new bag, but the repair was as advertised - "better than new" - with new leather, and an added metal bar for strength. I can't recommend this business highly enough. I'm looking forward to my next interaction - think I'll buy something new there next time. See you in town!

Mr. Kim restored my suitcase to "better than new" as he likes to say…read more After a 2-week long trip across Southeast Asia, my brand new luggage took a beating. Broken zippers. Popped stitches. It was definitely in need of repair. Mr. Kim was able to get the repairs done in a little over a week and the repair work was so seamless that I could barely tell what had been fixed. The only telltale sign is that he added a new, stronger zipper to replace the broken one which actually made it much easier for me to open and close the interior compartment. The $45 I spent in repairs was a worthwhile investment to ensure I would have many more years of adventures to come with my fabulous ruby red suitcase!

I'm updating my review because they earned it today. For some time I haven't enjoyed going to this…read morelocation, but do it because it's convenient. Their sales staff can be pushy, and one person in particular is their biggest offender. Not only pushy but illogically suggesting products that are outside the scope of your search. If I say that I'm looking for a backpack, why are you showing me bags with wheels? I will refer to this person as the nuisance. This update is about my visit today. Went in because one of my suitcase's wheels was not rolling smoothly. Unfortunately the nuisance caught me on the way in. Told me that I'd have to send it in. She said it was a serious fix and they didn't have the parts. I told her I just needed to take the wheel off and clean it at a minimum. That would probably fix the problem. The nuisance tells me that is not an option and that the bag would have to be mailed away at my expense since it's too complex. I stand my ground and insist that they at least help me remove the wheel. Another sales associate comes to my rescue. Tiffany goes into the back and returns with a spare. Magic. She proceeds to remove the entire wheel module to do a swap out with the new one she magically found. While Tiffany is putting the new wheel module onto the bag, I look at the old one. There is a single screw holding the wheel in place. I take a screwdriver sitting on the counter and remove the screw. The wheel pops out and it's entangled in hair and dirt. I clean it off and put the wheel and screw back in place. Took me about 2 minutes. I'm shocked by how lazy the nuisance is, or maybe I'm just that good. Tiffany then changed the other side to match, so I now have new wheels and their housings. Whole thing took about 20 minutes, and is a part of their job. If you drop by here for a simple repair, stick to your guns and pray that Tiffany finds you and not the nuisance. The nuisance is just after the quick sale, whereas Tiffany is a go-getter and embraces the customer service aspect of her job. That's how you keep customers. Well done Tiffany!

Then they abruptly hung up before I could ask a few more questions & I had to call back to ask. I then decided that I'd give them a shot & order from them. No response for days after the order was placed. My advice is to order from Amazon & then take it to an airport store to get monogrammed. Amazon is a licensed dealer & MUCH faster. They don't treat you badly either

The wheel broke on the large bag, and the cushioned handle started to fall apart on the small one. These seemed like manufacturer defects, so we brought them to Samsonite and they charged us to ship the large bag. Then they called and let us know the problems *weren't* covered and couldn't be repaired. They said they could only ship the bag back or recycle it. They said we should get our money back for the shipping because the store should have warned us. We called the store and they refused to refund the $20 in shipping they charged, despite what the repair office said. We won't be buying Samsonite again. Quality and customer service are both crap.

The man in the store, standing behind the counter, seemed uninterested in helping us. Didn't mention any Labor Day sale or anything.

Not bad, but also not positive experience either.

If you have some of their pieces, this is an affordable option to increase your inventory. No military discounts are offered but they did have some in store promotions displayed throughout the store. The store was clean, well lighted and organized. Sometimes you can enter a store and if not organized, make you want to leave. Just me? Monogramming is available in store and can be done while you wait. If not, you can walk about and continue shopping and return to pick up your purchases. It seemed to be a 15 minute wait and there are a variety of fonts and colors to choose from, up to 3-4 letters on certain items. They even have fragrances! The samples on display have fragrance only or you can opt for a gift set. normally stores have gift sets around the holidays but things were well stocked. From wallets, umbrellas, luggage and purses, this location had quality selections. These items are at a higher price point but the warranty and level of service that go along with the Tumi name are top notch. I definitely plan to return and peruse their inventory. I would recommend to friends and frequent here. The customer service was fantastic and Jimmy did an outstanding job helping me select garment bags and educating me on the features.
