Expert Leather Alterations and Leather Repairs

Since 1971 we have been designing and making leather clothing in London and over the years have gained a vast knowledge of the leather industry.

As well as making bespoke leather garments we provide a professional alteration and repair service both to the public and to many Designer Boutiques in Bond Street and Knightsbridge.

Repairs include replacing broken zips , shortening sleeves , replacing ripped or torn panels , relining garments including replacing pockets and labels so your garment is returned as new , If a panel need adding or changing we have a large selection of skins in stock to choose from.

Should your jacket or coat needs resizing our tailors on the premises will explain exactly how it can be adjusted , sometimes just shortening the sleeves can make a difference to the look of a jacket.

As we work exclusively on Leather Suede and Sheepskin we have a reputation for being the most experienced in London and regularly alter jackets from designer labels such as Gucci , and Ermenegildo Zegna to Ralf Lauren and Giorgio Armani.

All of the work is carried out on our premises in Chiltern Street , London W1.
Alterations normally take two week to complete . If you cannot visit us in Chiltern Street, send us your garment by post, explaining what is to be done .
