I had a beautiful designer tote bag that needed replacement straps, I couldn’t bear to part with it so this company repaired it for me. I am SO happy with the repair thank you. The customer service was fantastic and my bag was repaired in less than 5 days

Amazing service from Avy and his team. They are such great people. I am so happy that my favourite leather jacket was revived. My light pink 'All Saints' leather jacket was soiled from the hand gel and the only way to save it is to dye it into another colour. I must say it was the best decision and the jacket looks better than before. I had quite a few compliments recently when I wore it. I would definitely recommend their service and if you want to restore or dye your leather jacket, that's the place to go to. Thank you so much.

It's a real pleasure to be able to share my experience of Woodlandleathers online. Despite their super busy schedule, Avy and his team always made time to answer my questions, provide a level of customer service that is hard to find in this day and age, and most importantly get the work done. Work done to a high level, within excellent time frames and at a very reasonable cost. Based on my experience I can't recommend Woodlandleathers enough! Thank you once again! Jeremy

I purchased a Woodlands Leather jacket some years ago and really loved the soft supple leather and also the jacket design and comfort. I had a lot of use from wearing it until I caught it on thorns and ripped a few tears. By then it was looking a little sorry in a few places. I contacted Woodlands leather and they said send it to us and we will repair it. Received Jacket back and it now has a new lease of life. They did a really nice job repairing it. Highly recommend their leather Jackets and also their repair service. Thank you Avy
