I very much regret ignoring the review of Anna Gonzales because of how many positive reviews they have and the Chanel propaganda video they've got circulating TikTok. I left MLG with 4 pairs of shoes to be soled. 3 of the 4 were pairs brand new and ALL of the pairs were only meant to be soled. One of those pairs were brand new Hermes sandals worn a total of 2 times. When I picked them up from MLG they had very sloppily painted the heel of both shoes. YES, painted over Hermes leather (see image below). When I asked why the man behind the counter became extremely defensive and began shouting "I don't know, I wasn't here!". I asked him to grab the person who was and he reluctantly did so. The man told me that they painted the heels because the heel was severely was damaged which would have been impossible because the shoes were brand new. And, again, the agreed upon service was to have the shoes soled. So even if that was the case, I didn't pay them to fix heel damage. Rather than immediately offering a refund for such sloppy work. They offered an attempt at fixing it which I immediately knew was a bad idea (shoutout to Anna). Mostly because the other shoes didn't look great, they just had darker soles which are more forgiving on sloppy work. What I believe happened is that they damaged the shoes and covered up for it by painting and sanding the leather heel of my Hermes sandals - I'm truly devastated. Please please please beware of these leather scammer. Vince's Village Cobbler in Soho is where people recommended I take the destroyed sandals and the very first thing Vince's said to me was....why did they paint over the leather? We NEVER paint over leather. Vince's is going to try and salvage what they can and it is worth mentioning that they're one of the few NYC cobblers that actually have a FIVE STAR Google review score. I called MLG to request that they compensate me for the damage but they said all I would get is a refund. I asked to speak with the owner and they told me to call back Monday because he was gone for the weekend. I keep calling and they don't answer because they have caller ID. Oh, and one last thing, it took them a MONTH to do this. When I called to check on the status of the shoes...they said, oh the shoe guy comes in tomorrow. So he should be able to get to them. If I hadn't called, my shoes would still be there. All that to say, these people are trash and so is their work.

I can't believe I hadn't reviewed this place! These guys took incredible care of my beloved leather jacket that tore at one of the pockets. I asked them to put in a new zippered pocket while they were at it and they did it perfectly. Two years later, I get another tear, walk in, they fixed it for me within 20 minutes! 🤯 Highly recommended!

Modern Leather used to be the epitome for repairing luxury handbags. No more. I sent in a Bottega Veneta Cervo Hobo to have the magnet repaired, and what I got back today was a bag whose inside lining was opened (to do the repair, I get it) and when it was sewn back up? The machine caught the lining on the other side and it’s now puckered leather and no longer fits the dimension of the bag. I can only hope it stretches over time. This is the second incident of bad repair work done here - no longer. DO NOT USE MODERN LEATHER, they are no longer a reputable shop for luxury bag repair, or any leather repair. Shoddy, shoddy work.

I came in wanting to get my zipper fixed for my Prada bag because it started to discolor and made it a little difficult to zip. However , he was so honest with me and gave me some at home tips because the color to match my zipper would’ve been very difficult and the zipper was working fine! I appreciate the honest folks and they’ve been around for over 70 years!

Depends, I paid 60 for a zip replacement and fixing a rip. But if you call them they will tell you over the phone. plus the wait time was only 15 mins.
I have a Mc Klein Hubbard leather briefcase and a zipper is spoiled. Can anyone say if this shop can replace the zipper?

I would expect you'll find this to be done by a tailor who speciailizes in or has a lot of experience with stitching leather, silk, and cashmere. If I had a recommendation I would give you one. And, if Modern Leather does this, you won't find your coat in better hands.
