I love meeting people who regard their work as a serious, interesting endeavor, not merely a job. Lee Thompson of Lee's Tailoring is an incredibly gifted man who has been helping Santa Barbara folks look beautifully turned out for many years. He waxes rhapsodic about his new sewing machine and proudly describes how he takes a jacket apart, makes changes, and reassembles it to fit a client just right. The man is a perfectionist--as any great tailor should be.
After a horrible experience at one leather repair shop in town, I headed to Santa Barbara Luggage with a client's purse. This place is located in an old home on Chapala Street and is family-run by the Sorias. The family members are friendly, knowledgeable, and do great work. Within a few days I delivered my client her bag which looked like new.
