I have taking my shoes, purses, watches and clothing to these guys for about 12 years. Never disappointed. No credit cards, just cash but it's worth it. Sometimes the repair or "spiffing up" of a favorite purse or shoes estimate seemed high, but when he handed it back to me it was just like new. When you have favorites, don't toss them, take them to Vlad! If you're short, don't wear your clothes out of proportion, take them to Yuri!
