I completely agree with Chris M's review of Tom Taylor's. I have been to their classy, stylish store in NM and also shopped online. The customer service is awesome and the owners are helpful & friendly, but not pushy or overbearing. My recent purchase of a classic bag by Designer/Artist Abbie Caplin is absolutely gorgeous! I wanted a particular two tone handbag for the fall and winters months in FL and with Abbie's talent & experience, I got it. Kim Spiers (one of the owners) worked with me for days on the colors, size and design. I am not an easy person to please but I must say, I was thrilled with the outcome. I have also purchased jewlery and belts from them in the past. The quality and workmanship that goes into their products is like none other. If you are ever fortunate to visit the beautiful area of Santa Fe, New Mexico, be sure to stop in their store. Kim & Philip will definitely take care of you and you won't be disappointed!! read more

My husband purchased a belt with a sterling/stone inlay buckle for my birthday over two years ago. Not only is the buffalo belt-part very high quality, but the craftsmanship on the buckle, keepers, and tip are exquisite! I believe the name of the buckles is "Mudd". I can't speak highly enough of Tom Taylor Belts and Buckles! The man who assisted us in selecting the belt/buckle combo was very knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. After we looked at Tom Taylor, my husband and I waited to make the purchase so that we could comparison shop. We spoke with several other merchants. As far as quality products and courteous service, we both thought that Tom Taylor was the best. I still wear the belt just about every day I wear jeans. Thank you, Tom Taylor! -Mary Ann read more

I purchased a gorgeous haircalf bag in November 2012 which was my "go-to" for that winter season. By February of 2014 when we returned to Santa Fe, it had begun to show signs of wear that didn't seem normal. They replaced the bag with one of my choice at the same price point with their apologies. The owners and the staff are all warm, friendly and knowledgeable. I have purchased two additional bags which are beautifully designed and very unusual and a lizard belt and sterling belt buckle for my husband. On another note, even though the name and facade have a masculine feel, Tom Taylor has wonderful items for women so open that door and go on in. You'll be glad you did. I am! read more

I visit my mother at least once a year in Santa Fe and this is a store that I usually frequent. This past year my husband commissioned me to buy him a bison belt. When I entered the store, I was welcomed and asked what I was searching for. I was shown several bison belts and a shark belt thrown in for fun. The staff even tried on the belt for me and I ended up with the shark belt which was beautiful, unusual and I knew my husband would love it. There is no pressure to buy, they are willing to show you anything you want to see and are very helpful. Looking forward to our next visit...I love to touch the merchandise, the online store, while lovely just doesn't cut it. read more

Visited Tom Taylor Belts and Buckles when vacationing in Santa Fe last fall. We had seen their beautiful belts and I wanted my husband to have one. The staff could not have been nicer or more accommodating! We spent a great deal of time agonizing over which belt, buckle, tip etc. and were so pleased with the final result. So pleased that our friends who introduced us to Tom Taylor bought my husband another belt in a different color and I bought an additional tip and surprised him at Christmas with a new look. He now has the luxury changing the belt suit his needs. We are hooked on the product quality and fabulous customer service! read more

Quality, professionalism and going the extra mile only partly describe the products and staff at Tom Taylor Belts and Buckles both in person and over the telephone. I purshased my first belt while visiting the Sante Fe store over ten years ago. I have since purchased belts and buckles, with the wonderful assistance of their qualified and honest sales staff over the telephone and on line. All products are of the highest quality and just as described in their online catalogue. If one is looking for an original belt or buckle, Tom Taylor is the first and last place to look! read more

Tom Taylor gave me the best customer service experience! I was shopping for a sting ray purse and made several trips to their store. They were never pushy and even offered to order a different style for me out of the many styles they had. They spent a lot of time with me and allowed me, my own, unhurried decision. I would highly recommend them for their knowledge and professionalism. They know their products and their sting ray line will last forever and are hard to find! Will definitely be back! read more

I bought a belt here in the 1980s shortly after the store opened and when Tom Taylor was alive. This year I was back in Santa Fe and revisited the store to buy new leathers for this buckle and others. Had a wonderful chat with the owner/staff and they were most helpful and patient and followed up by email. There's no hard sell in this store, unlike so many on the Plaza. Store takes pride in their wares and their service. Altogether a lovely experience and memory of Santa Fe. read more

I have been purchasing an occasional belt & buckle at Tom Taylor Belts for at least fifteen years. I know very little about belts & buckles other than every Tom Taylor belt & buckle that I own is beautiful in its own unique way. Its very common when wearing a Tom Taylor belt & buckle someone pays me a compliment on its beauty. When in Santa Fe its one of the first stores I visit. Also I'm always able to find a nice gift for my girlfriend. Dennis Grapevine, Texas read more

I brought in a belt buckle purchased from an artist selling on the Plaza and was looking for a simple bridle leather belt for this piece. They were able to help me find a belt that showed off my work of art and fit me perfectly. Being familiar with artists in Santa Fe and at the Palace of the Governors, they were also able to tell more more about the piece I just purchased. I purchased a modest belt and was treated like I was buying a heckuva lot more than that. read more

All my life I've been at "WAR" when buckling up my belt, instead of squishing (Tom Taylor's new management provides a helpful illustration of right and wrong). As a result the exquisite lizard-skin belt I bought there some time back had started to develop fault lines prematurely. On my recent visit to Santa Fé the elegant Kim Spiers got her talented elves to restore it beautifully, free of charge. Now that's service! Great store. Geoff, Paris read more

I saw a purse I liked in the store, but it was too big for me. The woman waiting on me, Abbey, told me they could make it any size I wanted. We selected the dimensions, type of leather, color of exterior and lining and hardware. Abbey gave me a price, I paid a deposit and was given an estimated date of delivery. When the purse was ready it was actually $100 LESS than quoted! I love the purse, it's comfortable , convenient and looks great. read more

Over the years I have purchased 5 belts, some custom made. I have always experienced friendly, knowledgeable assistance. The quality of their belts is excellent. I have looked elsewhere in Santa Fe but have found that their belts are fairly priced and worth it. Even if not shopping, when I visit Santa Fe, I always stop in to admire the craftsmanship of the buckles. Great location in La Fonda Hotel when walking around town. read more

I purchased several belts from previous ownership. Needed belts shortened and purchased one new belt; owner Kim could have very easily sold me another buckle yet she only sold (had the tip made to match existing buckle) me a new tip and suggested I swap the buckle part out when needed. They altered two belts without charging. GREAT SERVICE and honest!!! I will absolutely continue to do business with Tom Taylor. read more

I first bought a custom belt and buckle in 2006. Wore it so much that the belt had to be replaced. Conducted the entire repair process online and couldn't be happier with both the service and the result. It was a custom-made belt and they were able to match it through their stable of craftspeople. Their selection and product quality are superior to anything I've found, not to mention incredibly unique. read more

One of the best stops in the US for Southwestern buckles, bags and accessories for men and women. Courteous service and the merchandise is consistent with high quality Native American and local Craftsmen in Santa Fe. For MADE IN USA, this is a must stop when visiting Santa Fe. The goods are unique and distinctive. I've received many a compliment for my belts, buckles and bags from Tom Taylor! read more

Tom Taylor has an incredible and unique selection of gorgeous belts and buckles. It's truly a joy to shop at their store, although I'm also thrilled that I can buy online as well. It's one of the first places I pop into whenever I'm in Santa Fe. In fact, I rarely buy belts and buckles anywhere else. Great quality and great artisanship. I can't wait for my next shopping spree! read more

I've purchased a bunch of belts, a bunch of buckles and even some cuff links. I always have a tough time deciding which ones to wear as I love 'em all. We had some trouble with some custom made stuff and Kim stood behind the work all the way. The final products were great. 'Not much reason to go to any other store if you want classic southwestern items at a fair price. read more

My girlfriend visited this store while she was there and bought me a buckle as a present last year, and I bought another one this year.. Their service is terrific and their buckles are just great, quality is top notch and good quality silver to boot. I wouldn't hesitate buying anything from them, I have also bought belts from them and have never been disappointed. read more
