Can anyone recommend a good place for leather-goods repair in the city? East side preferred for convenience. My briefcase/shoulder bag has a broken handle and loose seam, and putting the money in the city (even though I live in GP, and suggestions there are welcome too) would be nice. |

I am looking for a place to repair my lederhosen (no, I'm not kidding, I just moved back here from Germany) after a rough Oktoberfest. Anywhere east or north side would work for me. |

The Leather Factory (not quite East Side per se) on Lafayette near the Downtown Main Post Office does leather repair. |

Nativegirl,
Thanks for the suggestion - close enough for me. I'll check them out the next time I ride downtown. |

The little leather shop downstairs next to the post office in Eastland Mall does really nice work..they repaired a pair of leather motorcycle pants for me after I did some crash damage to 'em..can't remember the name of the place, though. |

Pgn421, the place between Broadstone and Littlestone does great work and I can walk there. I live around the corner. I just had sport coat altered and their prices are pretty cheap. Although I did have a hard time understanding the older woman in there. |
