Re: [MBZ] Leather shop/repair

2015-10-05 Thread G Mann via Mercedes 
Nearly 40 years ago, I did a lot of business at a foreign car specialty
parts house that had a "lifetime warranty". The parts were always a bit
more expensive and the line I always got from the owner was "well, it has a
lifetime warranty"..

One day, after laying a couple thousand dollars on the counter I ask him..
"Exactly what does it mean when you say 'Lifetime Warranty' " ... His
reply, with a straight face and a stern look, no hesitation, was :

" If you ever bring it back, I'll kill you" . We laughed.. but I've
never forgotten it because it seems to be the true meaning behind the
"warranty" clause.

I was told by my SWMBO that Coach has a lifetime warranty.  Send it to the
fctory and they will repair it free of charge.

Incidentally, my Steiner binoculars went south and the company (in Fort
Collins) repaired it for free.

Was probably lifetime when Wilton bought his wife's. Rumor has it that lifetime
is ten years or so. 
Looks like it's a year on new purses now.

Full service repair and some custom leatherwork.  I used to take 
boots there, some 300 miles each way for me.  Good folks.  Family run.


Bells in Beatrice, NE is out of business, or i'd recommend that too.

Probably is a good shop in Red Wing MN, but since I've only been 
there on Sundays, I don't know for sure.


I'd bet Max can find ya a good shop in Italia too.  But that means a 
long trip...hard to do over the phone.



BTW, mention of SWMBO's purse reminds me:  My SWMBO has a Coach 
leather purse purchased in 1972 in prep for her 2-to-3-week visit 
with me in Thailand while I was flying BUFF missions to Vietnam. 
The trim around the top is getting slightly worn, and she asked me 
yesterday to try to find where she might get some repairs done to 
it.  It's her favorite purse, and she'd like to keep it "on the 
road."  It still looks good; just needs some additional TLC around 
tope edge, much like our MB's.


I checked Coach site and found lots of em at $495 ea. (paid $40 in 
'72) but no comment about repairs; did get a customer care # she'll 
try tomorrow.


Anybody know good leather repair shop for such repairs, in case 
Coach can't, or won't, handle it?

Gucci has several repair shops in the U.S. Their average charge for repairs is 
around $100 last I heard. Don't know if they repair anything besides Gucci.
