It was well worth the money as it would've been more expensive to buy all new belts! I will always bring my repairs here.

I had dropped off the shoes last Saturday and it was ready for pickup by Wed, but I couldn't make it back to the store till Saturday again. When I walked in, they were able to find my shoes fairly quickly. It was $35 to repair my shoes, reasonable price. This place also repairs jackets, belts, and purses. If I ever need to get something else repaired, I wouldn't mind coming back to this place. Keep up the great work Dean's Shoe Repair!!!

JBJ by Jill has the most stunning and unique pieces! After seeing her jewelry at a few local pop up…read moreevents around the holidays I had to visit her studio for a specific ring I had my eye on. To my pleasant surprise we got to meet Jill and she was so wonderful!! Her studio was welcoming and everything in it was stylish and special, I could have spent hours in there with her. She helped with styling the jewelry I was looking at and it was an extremely pleasant, no pressure, jewelry buying experience. I highly recommend shopping with her if you're looking for something special, or even just to add an everyday piece of jewelry. It is all amazing quality and you can't go wrong with anything in her studio - will definitely be sending my husband there for future gifts!

Grand Opening! JBJ…read moreCurated Goods For Life is a small new boutique that just opened in Downtown Walnut Creek! The warm and welcoming owner, Jill, is a local Walnut Creek jewelry designer who creates small-batch accessories and home goods. If you ever visited Elisa Wen in Danville, you would have found Jill's designs there. Now she has her own shop! Jill creates unique pieces of beautiful jewelry -- stunning necklaces, semi-precious rings, and bracelets and earrings that subtly bring on the bling! She only makes a handful of each design -- so you'll be one of only a few clients wearing them : ) Each one of her pieces are truly beautiful and unique, yet are affordable high-end treasures. Jessica, her experienced sales associate, is kind and friendly and represents the JBJ brand quite well. In addition to Jill's JBJ creations, you can find bags, purses, clutches, clothing, belts, and other goodies from brands that Jill has carefully curated. The shop features local designers like Walnut Creek-based designer, Cass; Orinda-based designer, Camino Brands; and Orinda-based designer, Ginger. She also carries Los Angeles-based designer, Mara. Jill also hosts small benefit events. She currently helps support a charity called The Nephrotic Syndrome Foundation. Check out the #jbjcuratedgoods hashtag on Instagram to keep up!

Orinda Shoe Service is the real deal. Torre is a stand-up guy, incredibly knowledgeable, and…read moreclearly has generational skill and experience as a cobbler. He specializes in high-end luxury shoes and leather goods, and you can immediately tell he truly cares about quality craftsmanship. I was in a bind with a brand-new pair of Louboutin oxfords that needed sole protection before a wedding, and Torre was able to turn them around the same day. The work was flawless, reasonably priced, and done with an incredible level of care and attention to detail. He also cleaned up a very dirty YSL wallet and somehow made it look practically brand new again. Beyond the craftsmanship, he's just a genuinely fun person to talk to and clearly passionate about what he does. Super happy I found this place!

It is hard to find a great upholstery shop. We last went to a European Master Craftsman years ago…read morein Lafayette but he retired. Lucky for us because 15 years ago he was 1-1/2 times more expensive than what we paid recently at a different shop for better quality material and similar craftsmanship. We found Tri-Valley Upholstery (TVU) in Pleasanton after searching and doing some research. My wife reached out via e-mail to inquire about the work we needed and later followed up with pictures. Tri-Valley gave us an estimate and we scheduled an appointment to bring in one chair for evaluation and finalized specifics. We met with Eduardo who was very helpful, energic and enthusiastic. We picked out the material, received a sample, approved the material and scheduled the project. TVU did a beautiful job on reupholstering 6 chairs with a really nice piece of leather. Seats are taunt, tucked perfectly around the chair backs and the bead is spot on. There was a real minor tweak on 3 chairs that TVU took care of quickly. Dropped the chairs off and the next morning they were completed. Eduardo and his team are talented, very responsive, knowledgeable and produce quality work to make customers happy. If you need something reupholstered, give Tri-Valley Upholstery a try. You won't be disappointed and they are priced well.

Unfortunately, the side rail…read moreon one side of the bed cracked when it was plopped down on too roughly and I didn't know who to go to to repair it - the original store (Crate and Barrel) was completely useless. Fortunately I found Tri Valley Upholstery. I send them pictures of the damaged rail and made a "reservation" to bring it in the following week to be worked on right away so as to have as brief a down downtime as possible. Ed at Tri Valley was great - I brought it in on a Tuesday and was able to pick it up on Thursday beautifully repaired for what I felt was a very reasonable price considering the work that had to be done and the excellent job they did. I highly recommend them!

The service is truly amazing. The owner of the store is so sweet. As you walk in she greets you then offers you coffee or tea and actually have conversation with you. You can't really get this kind of service everywhere. You can tell that she loves what she does and very familiar with the products she sells. I bought a couple of blazers. The moment I saw it I knew I wanted it. The material felt good on my skin. She said it is from Turkey. I also bought a beautiful necklace. The price is not cheap but not super expensive either. I think the items are well priced as the items look like good quality material. As you see in the photo I walked out wearing the blazer :).

Wardrobe boutique is one of my favorite stores in Walnut Creek!…read more I'm in Turkey about once a year and love to drop into Wardrobe to purchase items I can take back with me to wear in Turkey, because her shop is several steps above the local Alacati bazaar and she has absolutely fantastic taste! The owner is super sweet and I love looking at the new items she brings in every time I drop by. I also appreciate that if she has a wrapped version of the item I'm purchasing she offers that one, as I have allergies and it helps with wearability for me. All in all, I love supporting a local small business and I'll definitely keep coming back!

I sold a couple of coach handbags here and the pricing is fair: the shop gets 60% and I got 40% for the items I consigned/sold. It's a great place to make a few bucks on some things u would have donated to a thrift store for free. :)
