Stepani’s Leather Creation

I was referred to this business by my friend, when I needed to have my wife’s expensive, but old leather bag to be cleaned. Mr. Stepani was very polite and professional. He asked my permission to clean the bag twice to make sure it looked the best.
He really did a great job. I was very impressed and would recommend this service to anyone.

Where can I start. Stepani is considered one of the best in BH and high-​end shoe stores recommend him all the time. In fact, he has Stephane Kelian repair parts from their heyday as a great shoemaker. Stephani does good work, but I can’t say he is trustworthy in many ways. He rarely finishes when he promises and even when he says no need to call, it will be done, it isn’t, even weeks after promised. If you live far from BH, this is no fun. Recently, I sunk 150.00 into a pair of shoes that he pronounced would last me years and years once he repaired them, but they broke within two weeks. Granted it was a new area and Stepani did a cursory repair for free, but he followed with the caveat that the repair was temporary and the shoes were disintegrating. This after telling me the exact opposite only a few weeks earlier. He really burnt me, whether out of ignorance, or intentionally. I fear it was the latter. So, buyer beware.
