U S Leather Works

Don’t let the name fool you, my new «leather» purse tore in two days because it is a thin, rubbery vinyl (or something like that, see pics.) It’s not worth the $ 25 I paid for it. Very misleading, as the gal who sold it to me didn’t say a word when I mentioned what a great deal it was to get a leather purse for such a deal. I couldn’t tell it wasn’t leather because the whole store smells like leather. It has the feel of soft leather, but not the durability by any means. I believe that it even had a tag indicating leather, but I nolonger have that tag. I called and spoke to the manager and was told that they «have a disclaimer», but she didn’t indicate where this disclaimer supposedly was. She didn’t care about my disappointment and made excuses. Not even an «I’m sorry you are disappointed with your item.» She did, however, ask what state I am from, for some odd reason. So, zero satisfaction from this buyer. Sometimes the old adage is true, «If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.» I won’t be shopping there again.

I’ve shopped this location and the one in Newport, Oregon, numerous times. I’ve bought two different jackets, some luggage and a duffel bag from them. The duffel bag is now in it’s 12^th year of service and has been around the world, dealing with airlines, three times, not to mention going back and forth across this country numerous other times. The jackets I ended up giving away to friends and the luggage was bought as gifts. I also bought a purse as a gift a few years back and it’s still going strong. I live in Louisiana now, but am making a trip back to Oregon to visit friends and family soon, and I plan on taking a day just to go buy myself a new jacket here. Good stuff, great prices!

This store is filled with bags, jackets and hats made of leather. No the high end leather but pieces of leather. I bought a briefcase and it has lasted a really long time. The leather is all one piece. They had a lot of luggage for cheap but not cheaply made. Leather works is worth a few minutes of your time if you are in town.
