Luis is hands down one of the best leather specialists in the country! He regularly repairs $30,000+ Hermes bags etc. A true master at his craft. He did some work on a couple of extremely vintage dress shoes of mine and the results were spectacular! My advice is pay him what he wants and you'll be happy you did, as I was and I'm extremely hard to please. Can't wait to come back with more projects for him. Awesome work Luis...thx a billon!!
