Robbi’s Custom Leather Goods

Robbi is awesome! Super nice lady runs her own shop and has millions of different types and colors of leather in her shop to match with anything one might need repairing. Super cool lady who does exceptional work for reasonable prices! My wife found some leather boots at a yard sale and we brought them to Robbi to modify so they’d fit perfectly. Very nice job done!

I did not spend much money on my purse in the first place, but it did take me about 3 weeks of searching to find the right purse for me. So I really like my purse. About 3 months in, the handle broke. I stopped in to Robbi’s and she was very nice. She said she was pretty busy right now, but if I had a few minutes she would stitch the strap back on. Heck yeah I’ll wait! She did a fast, friendly and awesome job. Very happy with the price as well. Hopefully my purse won’t do it again, but if so — I will be back.

Robbi did an excellent job repairing one of my pink purses. She wasn’t actually in when I got there – (I originally brought the purse and a pair of shoes in need of repair to the Hampton Shoe Repair place across the street, and they told me to take the purse to Robbi’s!) – I called her cell number on the door. Turns out she was picking up her granddaughter. Since her place and the shoe place isn’t exactly close to my apartment, she told me I could drop the purse off at the shoe repair place and she’d pick it up from them. Great! I get the impression they work well together (shoe repair & Robbi’s) especially with redirecting customers who may be in need of a repair they can’t do but they other place is capable of. That’s always pretty awesome and convenient for the customer.
So she worked on my purse for a week or so. I told her there was no deadline I needed it by, just maybe by the end of the month if it was possible. I figured she was working on other projects with stricter deadlines and I was really in no hurry. She called me up a week or so later and tried to coordinate with when my shoes would be ready so I would only have to make one trip – again, awesome customer service there!
She called me to tell me she was having a hard time matching the leather color to my purse. My purse is a sort of pastel pink color and it’s not even real leather… it’s cheap vinyl. I bought it literally direct from China by means of a friend who lives over there, so my purse was pretty low quality, hence why the side strap broke. I told her no big deal, just try to get it as close as possible. Since it was on the side it wouldn’t be noticeable. She told me she strives to get everything as perfect as possible and that’s definitely admirable. It didn’t worry me that it was a shade darker, mostly because my purse has a little dangly thing on the side which can cover it up if needed.
Honestly, the purse looks great and more importantly, I can now use it again! I was so sad when I discovered the strap was broken. So yay! She brought my purse back from the dead! I brought her a real leather vintage purse from the 70s which had a broken strap too so she’s working on fixing that and conditioning the leather. All in all, it was about $ 20 to fix the one purse and about $ 20 for the other, I think. Not bad at all, really. For the level of customer service and repairs you’re getting, I’d say she’s worth paying a visit to if you have any leather issues or even non leather. She seems to like working on purses and she’s even made a lot of her own custom purses which is cool!
Definitely go to Robbi’s, you won’t be sorry! :)

Robbi is all things leather! An expert & extraordinary crafter at best. Thanks Robbi

I used to try and fix my purses or leather briefcases when the threads popped. What was I thinking? So happy when Robbi’s Leather Goods moved to South Hampton. She had been on Delmar in U. City for years. Yesterday I took in one of my vintage suede coats. She will get that beauty looking like its 1960 again.
You have to check this place out. Robbie has leather everywhere. You can look around and you will find just the color you need. Its right there! Take in your coats, bags, hats, shoes, belts, etc… She can do wonders. She is working on a pair of red cowboy boats that someones dog chewed the back off. Cant wait to see how she rebuilds this. She can also revamp and restyle that old pimp leather jacket you have into something hot!
