Unparalleled craftsmanship and repair work which eclipses quality of Leather Spa repair work in NYC at far more reasonable prices and often a swifter turnaround time no matter how lofty the requests nor volume of shoe repairs and and extent of work per pair. They are arguably the most skilled artisans in their niche, and this family business happens to be run by brothers with the most amiable temperaments whom are lovely to collaborate with to return your most prized possessions in handbags and shoes from Chanel to Manolo Blahnik to Hermes to Louis Vuitton to Prada and beyond—most reliable and most highly skilled artisans in the country as they successfully restore even the most difficult of projects to near new condition every single time. My mother, sister and I have worked exclusively with Rossi for decades. When we were into Louboutains, the proprietors and team at Rossi put red bottom protectors on the red bottoms to not compromise the aesthetic and famous red bottoms while allowing for shoes to have great protection whilst perhaps being worn dancing then walking down concrete pavement and cobblestone streets. No service I trust more for all repair needs.

The team is so nice and so welcoming to a new customer. Actually a customer returning after 30 years. Went to them in college. They do impeccable work at a fair price. This type of artisan craftsmanship is not cheap, but it is absolutely worth it to maintain shoes and leather goods. There are fewer and fewer craftsmen performing these types of repairs. My man just retired. We are lucky to have Rossi in the greater Philadelphia area.

Dropped my pair of scuffed up brown dress shoes here one afternoon. They said that they could have them ready in a short time, but I opted to pick them up the next day. Great experience, great prices. Very nice little shop! My wife and I will be using them again in the future!

.... Going here is like visiting an art gallery. This is a family owned business that has old- world pride in their craft, and service.They treat their customers and their customers' needs as if they were family , delivering quality workmanship and fair reasonable pricing.If I lived in another part of the country, I would mail my " leather needs" to them. ( They do mail services). Luckily, it is only a 45 minute drive- and so worth it... love the personal family-like customer treatment and treatment of renewal for all leather needs.
