The French Re-Weavers

DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS — DISHONEST BUSINESS OWNER.
I am having the exact same experience as Marilynne e’s Unilocal review. In my case, the owner stated she mailed my $ 800 sweater back to me, then she said that they had it and she would mail it to me. I offered to drive to San Jose to pick up the sweater and she said she will be closed. It’s a mess. It’s clear the owner has absolutely no idea. Do not patronize this business. Horrible.

Note that there seem to be 2 Unilocal entries for this business. I’m entering this review in both.
My husband’s almost-​new expensive navy blazer acquired a moth hole — the first moth hole we’ve ever had to deal with! Was really not looking forward to discarding it, so decided to try a reweaver.
The first outfit I took the jacket to said that the jacket had to be patched, but the single-​color fabric meant the job would be very difficult and would not come out well.
Went to the French Re-​weavers next. As their site says, they either re-​weave small holes or put in a fabric patch for larger holes She said she would have to insert a fabric patch, but it would look good when she was done. I was worried, but since my alternative was to throw out the jacket, I gave it in.
It was ready 3 weeks later, and looks great! Even in strong daylight, you have to look hard to see the almost-​invisible demarcation where the patch was inserted. If you didn’t know it was there, you’d never see it.
We are delighted — saved an expensive blazer!
PS: The only downside is that the owner’s English isn’t great, so you are likely to find her eccentric-​sounding on the phone, you may even think she is being rude, though once I met her in person, I realized she was just not very fluent.

September 17 2014 they got my Louis Vuitton shawl. October, Mary called, ‘it would be hard to fix’ and I said ok, try. Today Mary denies having the shawl or receiving it, very evasive, refused to give her last name, although she read my phone number to me from a receipt, continues to deny having it or being responsible. ‘I don’t give my name’. Finally Mary said Louis picks up from P.O. Box, claims her name is Pacheco, responds to Portuguese, hung up as soon as I said she’d need to compensate me for lost shawl. This is not good. Small Claims court? She refused to give her address also.

Not so good for me. Had a pair of pants I caught on a door handle trying to be polite and gentlemanly. Sent off and they took months to get back and I ended up paying $ 150 for pants that I «always» have to wear a jacket with. Worst re-​weaving I have seen. Perhaps they did their best and should have told me that it wasn’t worth the money to effect such a jagged rough repair.

I put a good tear in my expensive, Saks suit pants when I fell down some stairs due to exhaustion. I had originally taken the pants to a well know French re-​weaver in Chicago, but the person that I spoke with in person had a bad attitude and the sample that I was shown just didn’t look good, so I decided to send my suit pants out to «The French Re-​Weavers in Cali for a shot at fixing them. I’m a very picky, hard to please, demanding person and I have to tell you that their repairs to my pants are top shelf, excellent. If you weren’t really searching for the repairs, you would not see them. Very skillful work and I’m very happy with the results. These folks are reasonably priced and worth the trouble to send them out to Cali.

A co-​worker recommended the French Re-​Weavers back in the early 90s, and I have always remembered her great reviewed. So when I got a huge run in my beloved pashmina gifted to me from my BIL, I looked them up. It was so easy to send them my piece. Upon receipt, Mary called me and gave me a quote, which I agreed to. She said she knew it seemed pricey but she felt the resulting piece would be beautiful.
Mary mailed my pashmina to the address I provided and when I opened the package it was like I was looking at a brand new pashmina. It had been lovingly repaired and wrapped in tissue paper, and I just couldn’t be happier with their work. So should you damage something that is near and dear to your heart, don’t hesitate — send it on to the French Re-​Weavers! You won’t be disappointed!

I ripped a three inch hole in the knee in a pair of pants of an expensive suit. I was about to throw the whole suit a way, very upset. But read a Unilocal review about the French Re– Weavers. I mailed my pants in, and they called me back and told me how difficult and perhaps impossible a repair would be. She suggested that she’d remove the cuffs to get more material. I authorized a $ 150 repair, knowing that it could look terrible. But I was in no mood to buy another expensive suit, which at today’s prices would be $ 1400. I got the pants back today— wonderful repair, and I’ve got a functional suit. With out Unilocal helping me locate these folks, I would have thrown away an expensive suit. I will definitely use these folks again. (It was all done by phone and mailing in my pants!)

Reasonably priced and professional results, especially when you are saving a beloved cashmere sweater!
