Lemi’s Studio

Frank is great! I’ve been going to him for a little over a year. I’m in the middle of having 16 patterns made and within 24 hours, 4 were complete. It’s unfortunate to see these bad reviews. Sometimes things happen i guess but to me hes been great.

I agree with the other review! If I could give them 0 stars, I would! The prices are high, they are not timely, they recently destroyed hundreds of dollars worth of my patterns, the quality is terrible, and the owner blamed all of those things on me. He accused me of lying to him and said that I was rude when I was just asking for him to make the situation correct.
I was told my order was ready on Monday, so I was surprised when I called on Tuesday (to inform that I’d be picking it up on Wednesday) that he said it wouldn’t be done by then. I went on Wednesday and his workers were all bustling around trying to finish my order. I was livid, and ended up leaving without the order because I was so upset (about the order not being ready, the quality of the garments, and the fact that they destroyed all my patterns). I told them as I left that I would be in at 8am Thursday to pick it up. When I arrived at 8:15, they still weren’t done. He allegedly didn’t know I was coming (even though I specifically told them when I was coming as I left yesterday). Then got angry when I asked about my patterns and began yelling at me about how it was my fault and that I was lying about asking him to save the patterns.
I will NEVER do business with this place ever again. And unfortunately, I’m concerned that my account will never do business with ME again because of the delay in shipment and the quality of the garments.
Also, they smoke a lot of pot in this business. The employees are all high constantly (which explains the unprofessional conduct and his inability to recall the conversations he has with clients). If you do end up doing business with them — put EVERYTHING in writing.

I wish I could give this business zero stars. We hired the owner, Frank Richards, to cut and sew our product line. It took him 4 weeks to do the work instead of his quoted 2 weeks. I would have easily let that slide (since production rarely ever goes as planned), except that he didn’t follow any of the pattern specifications and ruined all of our materials. We asked him to fix it several times and he ignores our emails and letters. He also will not refund our deposit and has our orignal sample and all of the ruined materials. It has also come to my attention that he may not have the necessary licenses to operate in California.
