The Leather Store

Hm, I didn’t realize they act as a clearinghouse for imperfect stuff – everything I saw looked fine. Definitely a good spot to check out for luggage, laptop bags, travel-​related stuff, etc.

I went here to look for a congratulatory gift when my wife found her current job (first one in America). Figuring that the Leather Store would have a bunch of day planners, in I went to peruse their stock.
Variety? Plenty of it. But what they don’t advertise is that they’re a clearing house for discontinued or lightly damaged goods. If you’re a bargain shopper, this can be a place with good potential. But as a guy who was looking for something specific and nice to last at least a decade, this wasn’t it.
Honestly, I was horrified when I bought a folio only to discover that 1) the calendar inserts were from 2006 and 2) that you couldn’t order replacements since Tumi discontinued that style of binding. Yeah, non starter man.
At least they accepted the refund without much of a fuss (just dour looks and pouting). Only reason they got a star back.
