Modern Leather Goods has been repairing handbags and accessories since 1944. Our mechanics are all old-world craftsmen with between 8 & 42 years of experience. Every mechanic is versed in all types of repairs but specializes in 1 or 2. This means you are getting the highest quality repair from the most knowledgeable repair person possible.
We started way back in 1944 repairing for the finest department stores of the time such as Macy's, Gimbels, B. Altman's, and Saks 5th Ave. By 1960 the demand for repairs had grown tremendously and Modern opened their doors to the general public.

Our repairs usually take a week to complete and that's if we cannot repair it for you while you wait. Even though we take in hundreds of repairs every week other companies can't figure out how we are able to turn it around so quickly while still providing the best quality. It's the way we run our lab and they can't figure it out. At Modern we only do repairs, we do not sell anything. This way our full focus is on the quality of your repair and nothing else.
