I had gone to a different cobbler near PV mall a few days ago to check out how much it would cost to repair a broken handle on a nice leather handbag and a missing piece of a buckle on a pair of shoes.
The other place made me feel like they were doing me a favor by being there and quoted me prices that, while not outrageous, were definitely high and the work they said they'd need to do on them seemed way more intricate than it needed to be (they told me I had to special order some piece and that they'd have to replace BOTH buckles entirely even though only one small piece of one buckle was missing). They told me it would be about a week to have those both fixed. I had decided to give up on having either item fixed when I found Tony's.
It was like a breath of fresh air (well, leathery air) walking into Tony's spacious shop. The seating area is open and big, and Tony is right there behind the counter. I showed him both items and he told me what he'd need to do to fix them. Both jobs seemed MUCH simpler than the first place had made them out to be, AND the prices at Tony's were less than half that of the other place. It was $22 total to fix the piece on my bag and replace the missing piece of the shoe buckle and they were ready not even 24 hours later!
The only downside (if there is one) is that they close at 5:30pm, which makes it tough to get there after work. I will most definitely be bringing in any broken bags or shoes here in the future because it's cheap, fast, and friendly!
P.S. It's ****CASH ONLY****.
