::Beautifully repaired a pair of leather work boots with sentimental value. Thank you!

::My SuperDry back-pack's main zip broke. I called around a couple of recommended places and was quoted $80 and a two week wait. When Lesvos was recommended I gave them a call. I popped in after work. They assessed it. They didn't have a long enough waterproof zip, but I wasn't bothered. I went with a standard black one to match the bag. I asked how much and how long to fix. They said "when do you want it?, we can have it ready for you tomorrow." - Cost $40. Sweet! I got the bag back the next day. It's hardly noticable that the zip was changed. The thread has been sown into the existing holes. Some not quite but this is minor. Its been several months and it's still going strong. I was very impressed. Would recommend and use again for sure.

::I recently flew with an international airline which somehow snapped a wheel off my high end Samsonite suitcase which was entirely inconvenient during my trip to Australia. Ever tried towing a 3 legged suitcase? On returning home to Hamilton, I phoned the Auckland agent for Samonsite which was unable to assist with any repairs, so made contact with the NZ importers of the cases. They suggested that I contact Babu at Lesvos in Wellington. A quick phone call and the email of a photograph of the broken wheel and instantly help was on the way. Within 24 hours of the initial phone call a courier arrived at the front door with not only a replacement wheel, but also a spare to go with it. Babu and his team immediately provided exceptional, good old fashioned 'service' to a standard that a large number of other NZ companies and businesses, large or small, should use as a benchmark. Thank you I Babu. I really appreciated your quick response especially as I'm due to travel again soon. Lessons Shoe & Bag repairs - HIGH RECOMMENDED M Brown Hamilton 1 Feb 2018

::I presented them my (very expensive) Dainese motorcycle race suit and extra spine protector - the idea being they were to stitch the spine protector into the race suit. I said "are you sure you can do this? It's a pretty specialist job?" - "oh, yes sir. We do this sort of thing all the time..." What a crock. So instead of unstitching the lining and attaching the spine protector within it, they literally just stitched the spine prtector THROUGH THE OUTSIDE OF THE LEATHER, with no thought or regard as to what that would do to the crash resistance of the race suit (I mean, it's only the key function of a motorcycle race suit and all that). Not only that, but they seem to have used a cheap cotton thread (!) to attach a spine protector through buffalo hide. Hmmmn. Suffice to say, that within 6 months, th thread (visible on the OUTSIDE of the suit) is fraying. Basically, they were cheap. And they despite their assurances, they did a cheap and poor job. When I picked it up I wasn't happy - but now that it's done...well, it's done. These guys are probably OK to rivet a new handle on your suitcase, but anything requiring proper custom work or brains - AVOID.
