Preston's Shoe Repair

Preston's is Old School Chico all the way....such a wonderful experience from a true and friendly expert....! He made me some watch straps out of my daughter's old leather backpack and I will always come back for any other leather related job!

I only knew about Preston's because I used to work nearby his shop, and he was outside so often making friendly conversation. I bought a used leather bag recently, and I loved the overall look of it, but some of the leather pattern on the front had been scrubbed off and it had clearly not been conditioned or maintained in years, if ever. I talked to Preston about these concerns, and not only did he HAND PAINT the pattern back on, but he also deep conditioned the bag, masterfully covered up water stains on the side, and took off the strap where the stitching was weak and hand stitched it back on to a stronger area. This bag will likely last me decades now thanks to his hard work, and he only charged me my initial quote of $35 even though he ended up doing a lot more work than we initially talked about. Definitely leave this guy a top, his work is so valuable and downtown Chico is lucky to have him.
