Blundstone Boot Repairs & Restoration

My 7 year old boots came back better than brand new with a goddamn free polish and buff that I absolutely should've been charged for ... it took about week and it was well worth it. Highly, highly recommend. And they're lovely folks, too! Thanks Evans. I appreciate your hard efforts.

Have had numerous pairs of shoes repaired and/or colour matched over many years and have always been very happy with the quality and service.

Evans did such a terrific job restoring my favourite well-worn boots, I barely recognised them because they looked brand new again! This place is first class, and super friendly service too! Happy customer!

Every pair of shoes I have taken to Evans are repaired perfectly. Travelling into Melbourne from country Victoria I'm notified when the goods are ready to be picked up. I am extremely satisfied with all aspects of their service including their wonderful repair & frontline staff.

We had wedding shoes arrive from the US and not the right color - Evans could not have been more helpful.

Strongly recommend Evans in the centre of the CBD in Melbourne for she Repairs! They did a superb job on a pair of vintage coach boots and we greatly appreciated the service, craftsmanship and appreciated the boots being placed into a lovely linen bag, which will be used for travel. Thank you for amazing service and for being open on the weekend for ease of pickup! 😃

The staff were amazing and went above and beyond for me, especially when I needed a rush order! I purchased brand new Amina Muaddi shoes that needed the sling backs adjusted and they now fit like a glove! Couldn’t be happier, thank you so much again!

Absolute best service, Milly was so lovely and honest about my boot repairs, and whether it was worth doing one pair I wasn’t sure about. They did fix my long suede leather boots with new heel-soles, boots look better than brand-new & at a very reasonable price. Can’t recommend highly enough, thank you!!

Lovely service, they freshened up my Christian Louboutin suede boots and did a great job. Will be back for any other repairs and maintenance on leather goods in the future 🤍

Amazing repair of my rm Williams boots to almost brand new . Great service and restored quickly . Very good quality

After a 'cobbler' in Ballarat took to my beloved Dr Marten boot and sole with superglue, and left them ruined, I was mortified.

But then I did some research and came upon Evans ... and thank heavens! 😇

The most wonderful service and communication... and pretty reasonable pricing given the state of things after the superglue!

Re-soled, refurbished and better than they've ever looked 🤩

Thanks team!!

Had a pair of Scarpa boots resoled. Amazing job and much better than the original. This is just high quality work.

Excellent service and craftsmanship - the best shoe repairs I have ever experienced! Rare gem - Ilive in Perth and bring my shoes over for repairs. The team are lovely 😊 thanks for your professionalism

Dropped off two pairs of shoes for sole protection and they were beautifully done. Super clean work and friendly service, I highly recommend

Shoes were mended perfectly & that shop!! What a delight to walk into! Like you’ve entered the old world!

Evan’s shoe and leather fix are extremely very
professional from their qualified tradesman and
produced first class results and top class performance. I rated Evan’s 10 out of 10 and I highly recommend to the public whom needs their
accessories fixing.Guarantee work satisfaction.

The repair shows amazing workmanship, looks brand new again, so excited to get my shoes back & wear them.
Then to top it all, there’s excellent customer service given by Isla, she certainly has a lot of knowledge. Super friendly and very professional, even remembered my name on my return.

I recently had my high-end shoes repaired at Evans Leather Repairs, and they did an exceptionally good job. Even the mirror finish on the black toe caps is outstanding!

I 100% trust and recommend Evans to restore your designer brands before opting to purchase new pair👌👏 🙌.

had a pair of SL Active Scarpa boots resoled . Can`t give a review till I get my boots back .

Friendly and knowledgeable staff, combined with fast and efficient turnaround made the whole encounter of my shoe repair, flawless. Thank you very much. Highly recommended.

Absolutely incredible so professional best workmanship I’ve ever seen on my Gucci shoes

My shoes feel and look like brand new again, absolutely stunning restoration.

Helpful, straightforward and kind service. I had a pair of suede shoes that needed the heels replaced and were fixed in two days. So happy with the work and to be able to keep my favourite shoes❤️

Such friendly staff who have assisted me with repairs on more than one occasion. Always trusted service and care with my shoes.

Excellent quality repairs and alterations - and really lovely staff. Possibly more expensive than other places but their work is immaculate. I’ve been going here for years and I wouldn’t take my shoes or leather goods anywhere else!

The shoes I dropped off were in good condition on top but the wooden sole had broken. These guys replaced the sole and made them look amazing again in 24 hours (promised like 10 days). Great friendly service and price was fair.

Phenomenal service and completely resurrected my favourite shoes!

Evans is absolutely the one and only for any restoration, clean, and any issue with shoes , bags ect . In my opinion they are magicians.
Lucky to have them in Melbourne great service and old school service.
Beautiful little shop also .

If you like the excitement of walking in new shoes, would recommend to wear your shoes first until it wears and tears a bit then have your soles protected.

These were brand new and I didn’t have knowledge that the soles be sanded and glued on like this. My heart dropped a bit when I saw the final results, I should’ve have to wear the shoes first. Would appreciate if I got told in the consultation how the soles gonna be sanded and glued.

The front desk staff who welcomed and took my shoes was very nice.

The staff who gave the shoes back was not nice and was giving attitude when I told her it was not my expectation for the shoes to be sanded. She said “what do want me to do?”

The exciting feeling of wearing new shoes kinda gone away by 50% haha.

Would recommend to come here when your new shoes have been worn a bit. As your soles will be sanded anyway. (From not a shoes expect, just someone loves fashion) The craftmanship is really good.

Go to Evans, even if for a visit. A tiny shop like something out of a fable.
They resoled my Scarpa mountain boots that I bought in 1988. They replaced the Vibram soles and cleaned and recoloured the leather. Exactly as long as they told me it would take. I can't say the boots look like new as they still bear the scars of their long life, but they are very close.
The cost was fair and less than half the cost of new boots that are not of the same quality. Quality craftmanship deserves fair recompense, and i would have Evans repair boots again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend Evans and the staff are delightful.

Before you throw away your favourite pair of shoes that has been with you through thick and thin, just give Evans a call and see what they can do.

They fixed the base of my leather skate shoes which were bound for the after life.

Worth it.
Thanks Evans!

needed an emergency heel tips repair and had been to Evans in the past to pick up shoes for my sister. I was so pleased they could do the repair while I waited. I was in Melbourne for the day from regional victoria.Thankyou

Evan, may his soul rest in peace, would be embarrassed to return a pair of dress shoes which were booked in for rejuvenation and a polish in the condition I received them today. Honestly I could have done better job myself. The shoes continue to have surfaces scuff marks and light scratches which I expected to be polished away. Terribly disappointing.

Wonderful work replacing a protective sole on my favourite pair of shoes - highly recommend.

The staff are friendly and the service is very good.
Remember that this is not a "Mr Minit" franchise, so you will be paying a premium for anything they do.
They did a very good job on the soles of my Prada shoes, however $100 does not represent value for money in this case.

Evans was highly recommended to me by a shoe store in Melbourne. Their craftsperson did a wonderful job - beautifully brought back a much enjoyed pair of shoes to (new) life again. I would visit Evans if I ever have another show issue again. Friendly, professional, prompt, and with expert service - a treasure in the city

Service was efficient and friendly. Got my boots back in a couple of days!

I am interstate and was a little hesitant to post my Louboutin heels into Evans to be resoled and tip replaced. I had multiple questions and the team at Evans were so accommodating in answering all my concerns. Final result, craftmanship and customer service is amazing, highly recommended.

Amazing how a some professional TLC the team here restore shoes, bags etc. Had my purse fixed and it was perfect! Thank you Evans for giving my fav purse some life

Beautiful workmanship & excellent service. This is the only place in Melbourne to take designer shoes for repairs.

Very happy with the repair to my Louboutin boots. The new red rubber soles are so seamless. Thank you especially to Zoe for her extra care and attention she gave me as a first time user of the postal repair service.

Great customer service understanding custom design to make shoe exciting to wear and practical.

Had my tabis soled here and was impressed with the work done on the half-sole. Hence, when prompted during collection if I wanted to also get the heel done to protect it, was quite open to it.

Was told that a 1.8mm rubber sole would be applied on top of the heel which I was happy with. However upon collection, I noticed that the entire heel was ripped out and replaced with a thick rubber sole instead. (In my pictures the tan coloured shoes is the original heel, while the black one is the replaced heel.)

I was quite taken aback as I was expecting the original heel to be there but it was gone. I was told that the cobbler must have decided that it was a better option to replace the whole heel.

I didn’t receive a call to let me know that the plan has changed and it sounded like there was lack of understanding by the front-of-house sales and what the cobbler was actually doing.

I’m no shoe professional and would have liked to understand why the entire heel was being taken off (as they were quite new) before irreversible actions were taken on the shoes, which was contrary to what the sales-person at the counter had told me. At least it would have given me a chance to decide if I wanted to go ahead with it or not.

I have had other positive experiences with Evans and am not trying to write them off. But moving forward it would be great if customers were informed if there was a change in plans as to what was going to be done.

For other customers, my advice is to let them know if you’d like to be contacted if there is a change.

On a positive note, when the half-sole was starting to come apart only after 3 wears, Evans promptly had them replaced and repaired again which I was very happy with :-)

I brought my Louboutins and Dolce & Gabbana heels for the tip replacement and for the soles to be done. They did such an amazing job making sure the heel tips and the soles were a match. They even fixed the leather on my shoes without me asking. Really appreciated their attention to detail and will continue to bring my shoes to them.

Service was excellent, and turn around time was fantastic! Less than two days for sole and heel protectors, and waterproofing, really happy with how they look!

It’s such a pleasure to find a shoe repair shop that not only cares but is able to bring your shots back to new. It's a pleasure dealing with Evans. Highly recommend them.

I’m so grateful that artisans like this still exist, who will lovingly restore your treasured bags and shoes. While they are conveniently located in Melbourne for me, I noticed a number of items are sent to them from all over Australia. Luke did a great job fixing my much loved Burberry bag salvaging it from an untimely demise. Thank you so very much.

Excellent service and great job in restoration of suede shoes, highly recommend

Expert advice and service for shoe maintenance and repairs. Highly recommend.

I checked reviews before deciding. They did an excellent job on the shoe soles, with hardly any visible seams. The service was fast, and I got my favorite pair of shoes back.

Customer service is excellent with a quick turnaround. I took my Louboutin’s to another place and they ground down the heel cap spike. Evans was able to fix this and now I have good quality heel caps on my shoes. Will definitely use them again

I collect PreLoved desiner shoes and sometimes they need a little tlc. The team at Evans took the time to chat with me about my needs, and gave me practical advice. My shoes came back looking fab!! Such a pleasure to work with them.

I recently entrusted my Tom Ford boots to Evans for a repair, and I was thoroughly impressed with the experience from start to finish. The team was not only remarkably polite, but they also showcased a level of craftsmanship that is truly exceptional. They meticulously stretched my boots, achieving a perfect fit, and restored the broken zipper to its original condition, both in appearance and function.

The attention to detail was nothing short of brilliant. They went above and beyond, taking the time to carefully clean and polish my boots, leaving them in immaculate condition. The transformation was so impressive that my boots looked as good as new.

Evans is a rare find in today's world, where quality and service are often compromised. I highly recommend them for their outstanding service and unwavering dedication to excellence. My experience with them has been nothing less than stellar.

As a birthday surprise, I sent off two pairs of my partner’s much beloved and worn boots to Evans for sole replacement and leather restoration: a 20 year old pair of Doc Martens with split soles, and a pair of kid leather Prada boots with previously ‘repaired’ soles (by another service) that had completely disintegrated. These boots were facing an imminent end, but couldn’t be parted with (I think we’ve all been there!).
With no shoe repair businesses worth their salt present in the Territory, I utilised the very efficient online order / parcel post & return service offered by Evans, in Melbourne.
The whole process took about 5 weeks and, though it was a significant cost (for two pairs of boots requiring intensive care & repair), if my partner could get even another 10 years of wearing her favourite boots, it was most definitely worth it!
While not a faithful sole restoration (both Doc Martens and Prada boots originally had ‘signature’ moulded soles), the Vibram soles are an effective and practical solution, enabling an extra lifetime of wear. And my partner absolutely LOVED the result - the Docs were immediately put back on with a smile from ear to ear!
Thank you to Zoe and Milly at Evans for the efficient service and timely updates. I highly recommend Evans Leather Repair for perpetuating the love!

The friendly and knowledgeable staff at Evans restored my YSL sling back kitten heels to perfection.
New heel tips and pointy toe resole have made them look brand new.
I highly recommend Evans

Excellent work, so happy with my resoled shoes and zipper in wallet. Great job, thankyou.

I had my wedding shoes cleaned at Evans, I was asked to pay the full amount prior to pick up. I called one day before to check that the shoes were ready as I received no text to confirm pickup as they said they would. They weren't ready when I arrived, I have previously gone back and fourth twice at this point and was offered no compensation for their mistake.

While Evans did an undeniably good job repairing two pairs of heels I left with them, it was absolutely not worth the price paid nor the incredibly rude staff. Can find the same quality work elsewhere in the CBD - at reasonable prices and with staff who don’t speak to you like you’re inconveniencing them with your presence.

Above and beyond! I came in looking to freshen up a pair of boots. Evans resoled both shoes with high quality leather, and even helped reduce the appearance of some stains. The shoes look brand new, and totally gorgeous!

The team at Evans are fantastic. I have taken many shoes for repairs to them from puppy damage to recently fixing the soles of my louboutin's and giving them a slight toe stretch and now they fite perfectly!

The ONLY place to go for the care of leather shoes and bags. Top class

Grant service, good staff. Our go to place for shoe repairs, adding grippy soles, etc.

Amazing service and quality workmanship. Recommended by RM Williams. I will only trust Evans for my shoes/boots repairs. 10/10.

Thanks to the team at Evans my Christian Louboutin knee high riding boots are as good as new. They’re vintage - not high st fashion and look forward to showing them off for years to come. Thanks Zoe and team

Evans repaired the soles of my very sentimental 17 year old pair of Han Wag hiking boots. The experience was amazing! I arranged a 3-way postage box and the quality of work done was better than new. Walking in them after many years brought the memories of past travels flooding back.

Friendly, efficient and knowledgeable service. Excellent repairs to boots.

They patiently explained the process of what was required to essentially rebuild my favourite pair of boots, and really did an exceptional job.

They look essentially like new :)

Thank you for the exceptional service and compassion. I recently came to the store whilst visiting Melbourne and was greeted by a fellow English Gentleman! I explained that the heel on my Dr.Marten Chelsea Boots had blown out and he immediately said he would help! After 10 mins he came back and had completely mended the damage and didn’t ask for any money and said he just wanted to help me out as I was wearing the boots that day. This kind of good intention is what stood out to me and I’m very grateful.

Kind Regards,

Got a topy sole for a new pair of shoes, asked if I could get it done by the next day as I needed them for a function and they did. Very impressed.

I was visiting from Perth and realized I had left it quite late to bring my Louboutin boots to be soled but they promised them for the next day
and promises kept
Very happy with the results and service

I have been going to Evans shoe repairs for well over 35 years and while they are definitely not the cheapest they are the best in the business. Always great advice and great workmanship.

Great and fast service! My shoes are going to last forever with this care!

Outstanding major repair on my English shoes of a legendary name, I get the feeling that the soles will be more durable than the previous repairs in London as the soles are German leather.
The finish is superior to the factory repairs in London .

I found Evans on line. I live in Brisbane and they are based in Melbourne. The whole experience was so easy. I emailed them and they responded . We corresponded back and forth with queries. All were answered promptly. They shipped a box to me with all address labels and packaging for my shoes. Once they completed my shoes, they shipped it back to me in a very well packaged box. The shoes were back to new, and they went above and beyond to what I expected. Would go back there in a second for any future repairs.

I took my two favourite pairs of boots to Evans to be repaired and they did such a phenomenal job. Definitely recommend these guys!!

Happy with entire process. I appreciated that they took care of everything and made the process of getting damaged shoes to them. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Went there with a pair of boots perfect in every way - the kind of investment pair you know you're going to be wearing for years and years - but for the colour, which was too light for my liking. The person at the counter (sorry, I didn't catch her name) informed me of the (admittedly pricey) cost for dyeing the leather, but took the time to explain cheaper, DIY options. I didn't feel confident I could pull it off so I decided to bite the bullet, but I appreciate I wasn't pressured to go for the expensive option. During the process Evans texted me a picture to make sure this is what I wanted, so I was kept in the loop. I just came back from collecting the boots and couldn't be happier - the colour is just what I wanted and it has a lovely, natural-looking patina (see before and after). Quality work, totally worth it! thank you to all involved :)

No matter what shape your shoes are in, Evans always makes them look like they have just left the shop when you bought them. I cannot recommend their services enough.

My only recommendation would be that they would clean the shoes as well. The repairs were pricey but the job was exemplary. It was only disappointing to have the shoes returned not polished. They were patent leather so it wouldn’t take much. Just that next level of service.

Evans Leather Repairs did excellent work on my damaged Christian Louboutin shoes. The red soles are well repaired & ready for action! Communication was very good & repair done promptly. Cost was reasonable considering the work they needed.

There was not a single clue that my shoes had been chewed by my naughty puppy. Will definitely be returning. What beautiful craftsmanship and expertise in leather work. I won't go anywhere else! Thank you Evans!

I’ve had several favourite bags and shoes renewed, re-sprayed, stretched or otherwise altered by Evans over the years. Jenny knows exactly what I want as soon as I begin explaining and I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention lavished on my precious items. They come back like new! Evans are the best and I recommend them wholeheartedly!

Impeccable workmanship on shoe re-sole - friendly service - quick turnaround (24 hrs)

From the beginning of my association with Evans, I found them to be very helpful and responsive to any questions I had about my shoes being fixed. Nothing was ever too much trouble and they always had time to answer any question or help me with any problem I might have been having, like getting my shoes down to them in Melbourne. I highly recommend Evans to anyone needing quality repairs to their shoes. I look forward to dealing with them again sometime in the near future.

I highly recommend Evans repair. I've use their services twice to repair my beloved shoes. I find the people lovely to deal with and the work exceptionally done.

Evans Leather repairs and restores shoes with high quality materials, excellent and highly skilled input, delivered on time, at reasonable prices. BAG

I’ve been taking my beloved shoes to Evans for a long time. Great service, top shoe care products and repairs are spot on! Highly recommended.

I took a few items into Evans including 2 designer sneakers that had so much wear and tare I had stopped wearing them. When I received the sneakers back they looked like I just purchased them from the store! I was beyond amazed! I also had a pair of Chanel wedding shoes I had bought to wear at my wedding at the end of the month but the shoe strap was giving me excruciating pain & I couldn’t figure out why as the shoes fit perfectly and the strap wasn’t too tight! As soon as I took them into Evans they assessed the problem and told me that they need to loosen the strap to allow me to have that give as the strap was sitting too low on my foot - mind you they’re saying so it was a little risky as glue stains cannot be cleaned off the satin!
When I received my shoes and put my feet into them I couldn’t stop crying from happiness! I thought I was going to have to change my shoes as they were so uncomfortable & with the wedding so close it was very distressing, but Evans made it work & I’m forever grateful!

My shoes were re-coloured, as one had faded in the store window prior to purchase. The end result is beautiful. I was kept in the loop via text concerning how the job was progressing. All up, a very satisfactory outcome. I recommend Evans.

So impressed with the quality of my shoe restoration. Lovely staff too!

Huge thank you!! The shoes I ordered for an event on Friday arrived in less than 24 hours! And they are so perfect!

Have a pair of very comfortable well made shoes. The original soles were more suited to soft surfaces and less than daily walking. These old crepe rubber soles that had seen the end and needed replacing.

The replacement soles, while expensive, are terrific and the workmanship in replacing the soles was top notch (see photo). I do believe I will get another handful of years out of these shoes and the will continue to get move comfortable with time :-)

I had another experience from another place. So my bag wasn’t 100% either was I.
But from the moment from emailing my quote I felt confident it would get fixed properly.
They know their stuff.
Drop off I was felt even more better, and when I picked my bag up she (haha) looked brand new
I’m so happy and I was literally thinking the bag was not repairable.
I will now be going to Evans for all my bag needs!!!
Anyone that has handbag or shoes or leather issues/cleaning this is your go to!!!
Thankyou Evans again, you will definitely see me again!!!!

Needed some walking boots repaired (new stitching, patches for splits in leather) but could not find a local repairer in our patch (regional Victoria).
Evans were quick to respond to our inquiry, did the work promptly when we posted the boots to Melbourne, and did a good job. Top marks for friendly service and quality workmanship. Thank you!

I cannot recommend Evans highly enough. They replaced a defective zip on a boot, matching the other perfectly and using the original zip pull. Evans is more expensive than other shoe repair places in town, but for good reason. If they can't do it, it can't be done.

Excellent customer service, fast turnaround, shoes restored to as good as new!

Shoe: Visvim FBT Undercover x Fragment Design.
Great customer service starting with an initial face to face consultation and evaluation. Clear presentation of costs and production timeline.
I was updated with progress made throughout the entire restoration project lifecycle until finish. Thanks again to Tanya.

Highly recommend .Excellent customer service. Been a customer for 45 years .
Had my wedding shoes covered with material to match my wedding dress . Great "cobblers "

One of my favourite 2 year old Doc Martens boots developed a split in the leather upper - Evans mended it so invisibly that I now can’t see which side was damaged. Beautiful work - thanks.

I bring my luxury shoes here (4-5 pairs already) and am always really happy with the outcome. Their quality is seamless! Their prices are more expensive than the average cobbler, but worth it for items I've already paid a lot of money for in the first place.

Have been having my shoes repaired here forever. Great service and such a cute little shop.

Great service and quality
Quite quick -4 day turnaround
Both shoes repaired and look brand new

Great service and professional finish. Definitely will come back for my shoes and bags repair.

Did not purchase anything but their advice on how to clean my Suede shoes was excellent. Highly recommend.

So good to have genuine good old service with a smile. Work on shoes and boots are excellent.

Evans did a really nice job of applying good quality sole protectors and also building up the heel and front of my shoes where they had worn down from wear. The shoes look new again. Very helpful and pleasant staff and fast service. You get what you pay for.

Thanks so much for the excellent job done on my aged Baxter boots. My feet and I look forward to another 20 years of comfort.

Over 30 years ago, as a teenager I inherited a custom made pair of cowboy boots from my father..
I've worn them continuously on countless adventures and misadventures and loved them dearly.. But they were dirty, really dirty and showed their age.
As a prime example of the merit of buying quality once I figured they deserved to be restored properly and professionally. Enthused by words such as, cleaned, nourished and restored I agreed to most every option and paid over $1000..(!!)
While dirty and scuffed the boots carried a patena that told a story. Retaining the character was specifically discussed, with reference in particular to the top of the boots that were beautifully uneven but natural and not as worn.
I'll skip the bit about it taking over 5 weeks longer than told and the weekly request for updates. Then told they were posted and seemingly lost in the post. (tracking code registered as delivered but didn't turn up until over a week later).
So when they finally arrived I was beside myself with excitement and relief that they weren't lost in transit..
When I opened them I pretty much just wanted to have a bit of a cry.
I feel like I've sent an antique timber table off for beeswax and oil restoration and they've said..
Here you go we painted it Brown.

A thick layer of matt baby-poo brown to be exact...
Instead of telling the story of life it looks like a pair of cheap and nasty probably fake leather boots..

I don't even know what to say to them. I actually wonder whether it was deliberate punishment for 'harassing' them with weekly requests for updates after the due date ..

I had a bit of trouble finding a before shot, but what do you think, $1000 to change this to that?

There's a picture of the inside of the boot where you can see the beautiful original fawn tones of the leather...

UPDATE - To be fair they are trying to contact me, but I just don't know what to say to them.

I'm not saying don't use this company, they're clearly good at some things. Just make sure you have your expectations matched to what they can and can't do. We did discuss the patina and character of the leather before hand so I'm confused about the comments on dying now. I was under the impression the dying before after would look more like the jacket on their website examples.

My disappointment is that it looks more like thick paint that what I imagine as 'dye'. Up close it barely looks like real leather. I thought nourished and hydrated would improve the leather from within and dyeing would be a rich polish like finish. It just isn't.

The boots were dilapidated, and maybe in trying to make them look 'new' an ugly masking approach was taken. But we talked in detail about the boots, I never expected to look new, I just wanted them to last longer and look more presentable, faults and all.

Had they checked in with me at points along the way and given me input on options we might have had a different outcome. Because the outcome does not reflect the original discussions we had.

I won't address the delays (got the email trail) as that is a secondary issue, but suffice to say it was substantially longer than every indication along the way.

UPDATE 2
Discussion have progressed and Jenny is genuinely intent to make good. The boots have been sent back after long discussions and recap of what was actually expected. I can commend them on their positive attitude towards the issue and lack of defensive mindset.
I'm changing my rating from 1 to 3 in anticipation of a good second attempt.

FINAL UPDATE - To their credit they took them back and did a solid job of restoring them to the way that was discussed and expected. It was a traumatic experience, but they do have the skills. I'd jut make sure that your wants and expectations are outlined precisely in the first instance.

Fabulous service.
All staff I dealt with really knew about shoe repairs.
The actual repair (full resolve) was extremely well done - real craftsmanship.
I feel very confident about the quality repair and excellent staff.
Worth the money.

Great service cost effective solution and I get my favourite boots back with expert care!

This shop has a beautiful old world feel inside the Royal Arcade and the finishing on repairs is sublime. They gave me a better heel than new and cleaned up a roughly attached topy while they were at it!

As usual, excellent and very prompt service from Evans, and high quality materials used. One other thing I like about Evans is that if you ask for advice on shoe care, it’s always very helpful.

A step back into old world tradition and service. Dearer than other shoe repairers possibly but the work is exceptional and they use genuine Vibram products. The front desk is very welcoming and knowledgeable and you can trace the progress of your repair on your customary electronic device. Plus, you get a genuine "Evans" shoe bag (cloth) to carry your favourites home in.

I wen to Evans few years ago and looking for toe plate service, but the lady seemed has no idea what toe plates are. I visit their website today and very happy they can provide the service now. What impressed me most was there were hundreds of shoe laces choices.

I can’t recommend these guys enough!
Excellent service and knowledgeable, friendly staff.
They brought my favourite shoes back from the brink of destruction and are now basically like new. Will bring all shoe repair work to them from here on in.

I like how Evans underpromised and overdelivered. I gave them two pairs of shoes to work on and this is how they turned out:

1. Favourite Studded Leather Boots:

Very impressed with how they've managed to turn my absolutely worn-down, wine-stained and ripped leather boots into a very presentable pair of staple boots. The dents in the leather were initially very noticeable and ugly, but they've managed to reduce it to such an extent that unless you pick the shoes up and know where to look, you can barely detect it. They've done some amazing re-sole work too. I don't know what my feet are made of, but I've managed to wear the heel and front soles down completely. The rubber soles are such a treat to walk in.

2. Leather Stilettos:

Rubber soles and cleanly re-done heels. It looked sharp and sturdy. Anyone who's ever worn a pair of stilettos will know that you need grip and good padding, or you might as well not walk. I cannot wait to deck these out again now that it's getting warmer.

I needed these done ASAP when I went in last Sunday--no later than Thursday evening. Sarah promised me Thursday morning. Guess what time I got my shoes back? Tuesday evening.

Bottom line: you will be forking out a bit of money. Can't lie about this--my two jobs were not in any way economical, but you will be pleasantly surprised with the results. I'm not a reviews sort of person, but I respect businesses that don't promise customers the world or try to say things to make them feel better but delivers better than what you expect in actual quality.

Evans do quality work - they can generally be relied upon to give good service. However, their prices are exorbitant. $35 to have my stilettos re-healed? Most other shoe repair shops charge about $20. I recently asked for a quote to have my handbag handles replaced - they quoted $300 (almost as much as the cost of the whole bag) for leather handles. I went elsewhere and was quoted $50 for leather handles. The salespeople are very friendly and nice so I dislike having to give them this less than glowing review.

Did a perfectly fine job at applying a new protective sole to leather shoes but outrageously expensive at $65. Shop around as on a simple job you can get the same quality work for half the price elsewhere in the CBD.

Complex job was well done, simple jobs over charged and messed up 😑 They stained the base of my boots, had to bring them back. The fact that I had to point it out, bring them back and recollect them was disappointing, as I expected attention to detail given the reputation and price.

They did a really good job on my beloved flats that needed a lot of love. But the simple job of my boots could've been done better elsewhere for half the price and half the hassles! Although they have removed the stain I am concerned about how the spot treatment will impact the way the boots wear and age...

I am glad I brought my flats here but wish I had of brought my boots elsewhere

Could not recommend more highly after nearly 60 years of being a customer.

Very warm, helpful and kind service 😊

Finding the right matching laces for my favourite yet quite ordinary shoes was an adventure that led me from one shoe store to another and another...disappointment slowly solidifying into resignation. Until today.

Best service. Also, I could not have imagined my shoes turning out so well. Thank you!

Very happy with the re-heel and re-sole of my Louboutins!

Went there for protective sole for my new leather shoes. Price was reasonable and quality of work is fantastic. Wish I found this place earlier the staff are also very friendly.

I've been taking my leather shoes to Evan's to be re-soled for years. I'm always super impressed with the quality of the work.

Evans done a fabulous job of dying my white leather wedding shoes which had accidentally became marked before the big day. Really fast turn around and lovely customer service - thank you!

High quality workmanship. Fast and friendly service. Had my shoe hand stitched after the sides’ lines snapped (personally valuable pair of shoes). Used a multilayered thread very close to original; barely notice any difference!. Also best value compared to nearby shoe repairers. Highly recommend for similar jobs for sure.

Needed a quick repair on some boots while on a layover. The folks were very helpful and did the fix in a very short time. Even offered me coffee from the shop next door. Enjoyed visiting with Mr. Evans, who started the shop 63 years ago.

I don't normally write reviews but this place was just AMAZING - I completely trashed a pair of suede shoes but thought I'd bring them here just in case there was something they could do (after a friend's recommendation) and they look brand new again!! 10/10 - will definitely be back!

Took my boots in to be dyed from brown to black. I was a little hesitant as they were expensive boots & I was worried the dyeing process would compromise the quality of the leather or the colour wouldn't be quite right. Lovely staff, prompt service (texted me the NEXT DAY to say they were finished !!) and I am SO happy with the result. Not only is the colour perfect, but the process has actually improved the leather. It's like I have a brand new pair of boots 😊 Would highly recommend this service - thank you !!

Friendly and knowledgeable staff that have beautiful products for cleaning shoes. Haven't tried any of their services, but would trust them.

Came past here for a shoe polish, lady was very helpful and also ended up buying a leather conditioner and horse hair brush. Staff are very knowledgable and give great advice in looking after your expensive shoes / leather items.

Had my diamante sandals fixed ( no other shoe maker would touch)
they ended up looking brand new again.

They have ruined my boots. I paid almost $100 for a half heelblock and half sole replacement (which I've since learnt is a complete rip-off). Recently the sole of my boots have started pulling away and it turns out Evans "ground through the stitching" that holds my boots together in order to apply the new half sole. I am no shoe repairer and even I know that is a shoddy job. Never ever ever again.

Evans Restoration in the Royal Arcade does have a justifiable reputation for quality in craftsmanship but this can be more than offset by poor customer service by the staff generally. The service could be improved by ensuring that the customer has an itemised list of the tasks to be performed on the leather goods and their associated price. In the absence of this list, my leather boots were subject to dyeing process which I had not wanted but had been charged for in the total quote. Mr. Evans has a particular asthetic and attention to excellence that is to be commended but he did not follow my instructions on the restoration of my boots and did what he thought ought to be done from his perspective. He did not engage with me directly until it became clear that I was unlikely to collect the boots as they were unacceptable in their dyed form. It was evident that Mr. Evans did not hold my view of the best approach to restoring my boots in high esteem and had taken it upon himself to do what in his view was the most aesthetic work. A clash of cultural values perhaps but more troubling was the poor manners of Mr. Evans and the staff where customers are made to feel less important than the leather goods. Hmmmm....

High quality service and workmanship.

Impeccable craftsman/womanship. Great service. Streamlined processes via technologies. Offers freight tracked returns.

My two pairs of RM Williams are 15 years old and you guys made them new again. The leather restoration and new soles will give these life for another 15. Thank you 🤩

Amazing service,

Evans are informative, provide a value for money solution and met the time frame provided. Garry

I am so thrilled with how well my two bags were rejuvenated at Evans. I was so disappointed when a beautiful red Prada bag which I had taken to another major bag repairer in Melbourne CBD, came back a completely different colour. The incredible team at Evans restored it to its original colour and condition. They have also brought a max Mara bag back to look like new. I feel I have two new bags again, at a considerably lower price than trying to replace them. Well worth the investment in repairing and restoring them. I’m sorry I didn’t take photos before hand to place in this review. But thank you to the Evans team - lovely people to deal with.

Polished and shined and ready to dance the night away!

The best in town. Attention to detail absolutely unparalleled. Accept no substitute.

Quality repair, quick & professional service.

Great job at fixing my bag. Will definitely use them again.

I have a 70s leather jacket that needed a couple of repairs to the leather, cleaning and a new lining. The workmanship is AMAZING, worth every cent!

I have a multi string necklace that had been strung with leather that had worn out. A job not for the jeweller but for a business with expertise such as Evans. So happy with the care and detail.

Friendly staff Amazing family history of an iconic business in a stunning arcade.
Jobs are done very quickly & a great job done

Very pleased with the restoration of my vintage leather case. Friendly staff commited to a high level restoration and they delivered. Some minor isues which they immediateley addressed. I recommend this business.

Just wanted to mention how great Millie's customer service was today. Always great to be served by someone so positive who clearly enjoys their job :)

The service is impeccable nothing was too hard and very fast service , thank you for the top tier service. I will always be back ! Highly recommend it too all CBD community- friendly staff and all about precision 👞

I left an antique shagreen leather étui or necessaire to be treated for oil stains. Evans Leather did an excellent job of minimising the stains over a three-week period. A few faint traces were visible when I brought it home, but since then they've continued to fade. I hope before long it will be pretty clear. Many thanks for an excellent job.

I had an emergency situation where a coloured paper bag I was carrying had stained my brand new Gucci fabric bag when I was walking in the rain
Evan’s came to the rescue and completely removed the stain and then waterproofed the bag so it wouldn’t happen again
A disaster avoided thank you Evan’s !

Took a pair of mens sandals in for new soles, and they are better now than when they were new ! Quick turnaround time and friendly service.

Had a multicolor Alma bag that was severely mis-shapen so took it into Evans whilst I was in Melb to see if it could be fixed. Was absolutely amazed with what they did, they completely fixed it. The team there are absolute magicians big thank you to MC and the rest of the Evan’s team

Very good work at a fair price given the time it would take to complete something that is purely handmade.

I handed over one of my old vintage designer bags, and i was so impressed with how they bought life back into the old girl.

Highly recommend. ✨✨✨✨✨

Good repair and friendly service

Great service, good quality work.

Evans exceeded my expectations when they repaired the hardware on my coach bag. I went to two other bag repairers before Evans and Evans were the only ones able to fix the rivets that secured the d ring to the side of my bag. I highly recommend them. Communication also excellent. Thank you.

Not cheap, but that's because they do the work properly.

Great communication with friendly and speedy service from the team. Was so impressed to have a repair quoted and completed on a beautiful bag my friend hadn’t used in 5 years. Now she can use it for years to come once I surprise her with it soon. Would absolutely recommend Evans for any item you love to extend its life once again.

Fantastic service and quality, train return to central Victoria was worth it.
Will spread the news.Definatly 5 star ⭐✨
Wonderful polite and charming reception on entering your lovely premise.

Five star customer service and first class workmanship. I took two Prada Gaufre bags for refurbishment after struggling to find new bags that I loved as much. One of them had been coloured the wrong colour by another company so this one was needing a serious overhaul. The other was black and just needed a refurbish.

The bags have come back looking so good. The attention to detail is incredible, especially given the difficulty of this style of bag with the leather ruching.

Add to that I arrived at one minute to close time. The team member was starting to shut down the store. I was so sad that I thought I was going to have to make time the next day to come in the city but she opened up and sorted me out without any bad or mean vibes - she was full of absolute grace.

Thanks Evans for all your lovey work and customer service.

The greatest cobblers that have ever cobbled!

First time using Evans, long time following their work! Got the straps of a bag shortened, found floor staff very knowledgeable and helpful and the work on the bag ended up great (although yet to fully test bag on a full day use). Didn't take long (wasn't in a rush), recommend everyone feel confident to discuss price before purchase service.

Perfect.

Great customer service, with knowledgeable and personable staff!!! Quick turnaround with job completed in a quick and efficient manner!

Evans are incredible - the attention to detail and pride in their craft is second to none - thank you!

Amazing service. Could
Highly recommend this business is incredible. My handbag looks like a new product. Bravo team

Exceptional service and quality! Turnaround time was less than 24 hours! So happy that I have found them! Highly recommend 🙌🏻

Beautiful craftsmanship and skill to refurb your precious pieces. It’s not quick and cheap, it’s fair and it’s done very well. The wait is worth it.

Could have done it better. Very disappointed with lack of communication but the quality of the work is outstanding. My first time using their service. My LV Sandals are looking like new again. I have few more Sandals need to get more attention or new love. And I definitely will come back. Thank

Evan’s is situated in the iconic Royal Arcade in the hear of Melbourne - the front of house customer care approach to service is impeccable as well as the follow up email to confirm your order is in progress and letting you know pick up is ready!

Highly recommended!

Exceptional workmanship. Nice people

Impressive building

Very satisfied with the service given, the attention to details and the craftsmanship done on my Ferragamo mules which will prolong its reliable use. The scuffs gone ,restored and colour matched and protected soles were done. Thank you 💕

Incredible repair on a Loewe raffia bag. Looks like new again. Service and attention to detail was 10/10. Definitely recommend

Wow! What an incredible result. Two of my treasured leather bags (Kompanero and Campomaggi) have a new lease of life. Evans repaired zips and buckles then cleaned and gave the leather some love. The results are stunning.

Amazing service!

Absolutely brilliant leather restoration service. My favourite 11 years old soft leather jacket had lost patches of colour and was looking worn and sad! The Evan’s craftspeople have recoloured and revitalised the jacket and repaired the zip.
Highly recommend this company!

Great find , I have used this service many times and have been very happy with the results. Happy to recommend

Communication was fantastic through every step of the restoration process, no measures were taken without first discussing it with me. I really appreciated this. However, I trusted in the team and knew my vintage handbag was in safe hands. Very happy with the final product which I look forward to enjoying for many years to come.

I’m not going to say this is a cheap process, but’s it’s an awful lot cheaper than replacing the item and the quality of the repairs is very impressive. They’ve done two of my bags and about to do another and it’s been well worth it. Definitely recommended.

Sent my bag here for repairs on the straps and to have the leather conditioned. Extremely disappointed to note that the bonding on the edges of the straps is already coming off and looks hacked and messy. The bag was conditioned with black residual left over the hardware everywhere. Also received the bag back and due to how it was poorly packed had punctured the internal lining.

Super expensive for a really sub par service.

Most helpful and efficient. A much loved handbag has been repaired. Many thanks

Extremely overpriced for the quality and service.

I took my bag in to fix some tiny rivets, but the workmanship was average at best—they used mismatched rivets. I was given a one-month timeline, but when the time was up, I had to call Evans myself to check the status. They didn’t notify me of the delay, and I had to track down my bag on my own.

Outstanding service and quality product.

It has been a great experience from start to finish. My Jacket came back after a zipper replacement and the results a excellent. Can’t thank the team at Evans enough.

Very impressed with the service here! Jamie has been amazing. They also did an great job with the repair work. Thank you - I will be returning here in future for all my repair needs!

Highly recommend their craftsmanship as you can see my before and after photos I didn’t want to get rid of my luxury handbag but I found the best. I’ll be recommending you to everyone reasonable pricing reasonable timeframe. I wish I could give you more than five stars.
Thank you
EVANS

I finally found someone that I'm happy with in every way this people are polite, pleasent, professional and they know what they are talking about
Job they done is best one I seen in long time so if you need that type of work do not look any further
I'm certainly going back when I need them again

Superb service and tailored approach to your individual needs.

Had a topy put on my oxfords they used quality materials and did a great job. Will definitely be back.

Amazing work. its as if I hadn't accidentally misread the sizing of the belt I bought and was way too big

Excellent service, excellent quality.

Not cheap, but you really get what you pay for, and the point is, it’s worth. Extremely quality work. Alteration looks as per original. Great customer service.

Great work on my pink bag, studs did not match but were silver in colour, friendly staff, although a little expensive. I think they do quality work and are professional

Fantastic service I had a gold glomesh purse that needed new lining, good communication between customer and purse looks and feels immaculate.

I had a leather satchel work bag which was scuffed up and had some hardware problems. For the hardware that wasn't repairable, they were able to replace with similar pieces at a very reasonable price. The restoration of the bag was wonderful and well worth the price tag!

Mu favourite jacket had a tiny bit of stitching come undone, in a very visible spot. I stupidly cut the lining and thought about trying to mend it, but the very soft leather would have certainly been mangled by my attempt.

Evans responded to my email quickly, gave a quote and sent me a postage paid box. After assessing the repair in person, I received an invoice, paid it and 3-4 weeks later received my jacket back, good as new (including my damage to the lining)!

The service isn't cheap but it's top quality, well worth it for an item that I love.

Evans recently repaired my RM Williams. They did a great job and the service was excellent

Well informed about progress on my "job" and a pleasure to deal with front of house staff.

Not all women’s handbags have brass “feet” to keep the leather base off the floor but they should. I first used Evans in 2019 to install brass feet on a favourite navy handbag and it cost $200. On 20 January 2024 I took in my favourite emerald green Michael Kors leather tote bag for the same job and was quoted $350. I was pretty taken aback by the price increase but they said they had to use leather to cover the brass screw heads. I didn’t get an option otherwise but presumed for the price it would look wonderful. On 9 February I finally got the text they were ready to collect. My husband took one look and said I’d been ripped off. The black leather strips have been glued on and look amateurishly done. In business, there’s a trifecta of good, cheap or fast. These guys aren’t cheap, aren’t fast and the workmanship on my bag was not great.

To experience service like this gives me hope! Having flown down to Melbourne, a leather skirt was repaired and ready the day after dropping it in. And it’s is better than when I first bought it! Great service from the beautiful lady on the floor. Thanks a million.

Outstanding service

Quality and service

Excellent service!

Brilliant- my Valentino belt is perfect - thank you

Great service & communication. My bag was beautifully restored as per my instructions and returned to me in a gorgeous box keeping my bag safe & secure. Thank you Evans.

Friendly Staff, who knew exacty what was required to restore my handbag. The external colour was perfectly matched to a signature yellow, and the inside lining was restored to pristine condition. I am so pleased and can not reccommend highly enough.

Things take forever! I asked for some black vibram half soles, given one week eta, 4 weeks later, wrong soles used.
Expensive for no apparent reasons, certainly not paying for quality of outcome

A lovely ambience and great location for this shop where you are instantly aware that craft is at work here. These are people who know their trade, and apply it conscientiously. I find this increasingly rare in our hire and fire society, so any establishment such as this requires patronage, if for nothing else, to maintain quality of workmanship. This is because the service provided and the level of work is far beyond normal satisfaction.

This is a business that prioritizes customer service and quality work

Repair looked brand new. Like nothing was ever broken. Excellent work, great team, and great service attitude. Will always be my first choice for repairs.

I live in Perth, Western Australia and required a complex restoration to a vintage leather box that belonged to my late father that has enormous sentimental value. I exhausted all avenues within Perth to undertake the restorative work and realised Evans was my best option.

I travelled to Melbourne and spoke with the Evans team about the work that needed to be done. The advice was brilliant, and I could not be happier with the quality of the final product. The customer service was also exceptional, and I have no hesitations whatsoever in recommending Evans to anybody who has leather goods that require repair or restoration.

Great service and quick turn around for repairs.

The result was amazing everything I tried just wouldn’t remove my lipstick on my Christian Dior bag it looks like I had just bought it when the repair was done I would recommend EVANS for any repair

Both the girls are so helpful, offering advice on any item. Service was speedy. Over delivered on getting the 1/2 soles done so quickly:)

Dear Zoe,

I apologise for not replying earlier.

The jacket is magnificent, the workmanship is extroadinary and I am so happy that something I treasure has been
remade, so to speak, as new.

I must congratulate you and your staff on an excellent job, not only in the workmanship, but in the professionalism
your business has shown through keeping a client informed of the jacket progress.

I will advocate your business to others and show them the jacket, which speaks for itself as a remarkable item of craftmanship with care and attention to detail to make it ' original '.

Best of wishes to you and the staff.

My beautiful red handbag broke when I overloaded it. The hardwear gave - a stud pulling through, with 2 cuts through the leather and a large graze. That and the wear of me hauling it around the world with me - it's my favourite.

The repair is spectacular. It looks new (ish). The hardwear was perfectly matched, the tears repaired with only the tiniest scar in one instance (really unnoticeable) and the bag cleaned.

Was it cheap - no. Was the customer service/experience good - it was fantastic. Was my $3,000 bag restored beautifully - it absolutely was. Was it worth it - hell yes!

I cannot recommend Zoe and the team highly enough.

We just received our Louis Vuitton suit case after a major repair & we are over the moon.
It looks like new & it was money well spent.
I will definitely be using this company again should I need anything repaired.

Excellent and easy to use. Quality was very good. Would recommend.

Took a jacket in for some simple seam repairs- staff were nice but I couldn't believe the estimate I was given, so left it for a formal quote. A few days later they confirmed, $450.00. Took the jacket back and found a local place, who did the same work plus some inside pocket fixing for $90.00, and it's a great job. Evans are nice people, and handy to my workplace, but I won't bother trying them again.

Really amazing place. Artisan leatherwork, reasonably priced and amazing service (Zoe is awesome). Highly recommend for any leather stuff that is special to you because these guys treat it with love.

Thank you to the fabulous team at Evans for the wonderful service and for restoring my Chanel backpack. Your magnificent workmanship and attention to detail went beyond what I thought was possible. My bag looks as beautiful as it looked when I bought it. Again thanks Lyn Parche

Prompt and professional service using quality materials. You get sms and email notification from start to end of transaction. You'll also get a photo of the completed work when your item is ready for collection. Highly recommended.

Really impressed by the service and expertise here. Don't take your things elsewhere to save a few $ and risk having your goods ruined. These guys are amazing and do a beautiful job.

Top quality repair and restoration/revitalisation on loved premium bags. Expensive, but worth it to have the bags back to their former glory. Excellent communication, turn around time and customer service. Very professional. Will always return to their business.

Cannot praise the Evan's team highly enough! They restored my vintage leather jacket to new! I couldn't believe how great it looks. Thank you so very much. You're the best!

The customer service at Evans has been good. They were responsive, fielded my questions, and were flexible about options fixing my bag. The whole process (enquiry, to sending my bag over, having it examined, deciding on the work to be done, and having it returned) took over a month so if urgent repair is needed it should be requested at the outset. I was really impressed with the quality when my bag was returned to me. My bag had a strap broken and they crafted a new strap which was identical to the old one. I am now able to use my beloved bag again! Therefore I highly recommend their service.

I can't tell you how happy I am with the service I received at Evans. They have just re-dyed a Balenciaga bag I bought a number of years ago and it looks almost brand new.

Brought in a much loved and rare Gucci bag I’ve had for a long time that was in need of rejuvenation after almost daily use for 5-6 years. The interior fabric lining was rather stained (a rogue strawberry) and the exterior piping and base of the bag were beginning to wear and fray. Minor scratches and marks to the leather generally. I’d taken the bag to Gucci who had quoted $890 to recondition the bag inside and out and replace the interior in full which was to take 3-4 months for the work to be done at their workshops in Italy (COVID still prolonging lead times). I’m sure Gucci would’ve done a good job but I looked locally to see what I could get done here. Royal Bag Spa quoted $740 and a 6 week turnaround. Then I went to Evans, recommended by a friend. The staff there are very pleasant and informative; they were able to offer a quote of $450 for the work and a turnaround of 7 days! They explained that the interior would be washed with a special solution, rather than replaced, and that should remove most of the staining. If not we could look to get it replaced for additional charge. I picked up my bag a week later and the bag looks like the day I bought it! No scratches, piping repaired beautifully, and new wax borders applied to the handles. The interior was looking a lot better, though some of the more stubborn stains remained, but I was prepared for that being the case and was glad to accept the bag as it was. They had also waterproofed the bag which has a 6 month guarantee. All in all, great service, remarkably quick work, and exceptionally friendly and personable staff in a very handsome shop full of tradition and excellence. Will definitely be going back for all my leather work. Thank you to the team at Evans!

Top notch quality / customer service & overall experience - These guys have to be the best in Melbourne for sure!

Old school principles around customer service & quality of their product & care - Yes it may be a higher investment than other repairers, but it reflects itself in the overall experience received.

I will never go anywhere else!

A M A Z I N G! Got my sole fixed in no time and good as new. The staff is professional and friendly. I am glad that I found this wonderful local legend.

They fixed the magnet on my handbag. No where else in Melbourne could fix it, thank goodness for evans.

They are amazing.

I can’t recommend Evans enough !! I had leather Vachetta trim replaced on my vintage LV bag & it looks like new . The communication was faultless & so simple . The process from postage interstate to receiving my bag took just over a week . Recommend Evans 100%

Jenny was very helpful and puts a lot of effort into achieving the best results...I’m very happy with the beautiful job she did with my Gucci 👢 🙏🏼😊

Amazing service and super efficient.

Thanks Jenny for the repair to my 10+ year old Fendi handbag - it looks almost as good as new.

Very prompt service and good value compared to buying a new one.

Lost hope with some Versace hi tops I’ve had for a while and Evans completely rejuvenated them for a great price and extremely efficient service!

Very Helpul, great service and fantastic overall workmanship.

We had my leather coat altered and were extremely happy with the result. The owner was very professional a family run business which we cannot recommend highly enough. Good in depth knowledge of their craft.

Wow: what a fabulous experience! Congratulations to Jenny and the team at Evans. The sad story was I'd fallen out of love with a beautiful, rugged leather jacket I bought a few years back while on a ski trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Loved the jacket, but back home the cotton lining - well, it just felt, meh. And so the jacket languished. Fast forward to now, and Evans replaced the lining with a slinky dark chocolate brown satin, and with a real attention to detail around the seams and pockets and so forth. Love rekindled!! Thank you, Evans!!

Excellent service!

I was on the point of throwing out a very good bag because the strap was broken and nobody local would or could repair it.
I contacted Evans and was delighted when they said it could be repaired. I posted my bag and received excellent service. Not only was the repair excellent but the communication and assistance was speedy and very good.
A very prompt and professional customer service. I would certainly use them again and recommend them to anyone. Thank you Rvans!

Thank you for mending my rare special edition Dr Martens. Your service is impeccable and staff are so lovely. 10/10

Every time I've used Evans I've been so glad I did. The workmanship is superb, the attention to detail, and the attention they give to you as a customer! There's none better in Melbourne!

I’ve now taken three Chanel handbags to the team at Evan’s and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I only wish I had take a before picture to show the state of the leather and the workmanship the have done. This image is after and the bag looks brand new (as do the others)!
The staff are also very knowledgeable and explain how to take better care of your leather products.
Thank you team!

Excellent and friendly service. A pleasure to do business with.

Upfront and honest about what it would take to restore leather bag. Professional, outstanding customer service by Tanya - even followed up with a call on quote. Will not hesitate to recommend or return to get leather repaired or restored

Great service, great workmanship. Glad I found this place.

Amazing Staff & Amazing Service !!
Highly recommend.

Great service and very efficient. Superb craftsmanship will definitely come back.

Elegant and welcoming store stocked with quality products. The staff are down to earth and were very willing to share their knowledge with me. Left the store with all my needs met feeling rather satisfied.

I took a pair of RM Williams classic craftsman to get a Vibram sole put on it. Completed in 2 days. The customer service is what you would expect. Professional.

After a not so good experience Evans support team go in touch and resolved things quick smart. If this was the experience from the beginning this would be a 5 star review. I would have given a 3.5 but couldn't so 4 it is.

Thanks team for resolving things as you did.

better than new. Very happy with professional service and prompt work. The workmanship on the repair is better than the original. highly recommended

Quality of work to fix a satchel was first rate

ALL GOOD!!!

Everything was easy and professional. I had my arms shortened by 8cm on my leather jacket and it is perfect.

Great knowledgeable service shown by the staff. Repairs done quickly and within the time frames provided on paving the order.

Very professional service for leather repair.

My three year old Balenciaga City Bag was looking worse for wear. The stitching had frayed on the handles and the lovely blue colour had faded. I dropped off my bag to Evans and picked it up under 4 weeks later. It has been restored to its beautiful blue colour and the stitching has been repaired perfectly. It also has been carefully cleaned. My bag looks brand new. I would highly recommend and trust Evans for any designer leather goods that need repair. Pricing is at a premium but is justified by the high quality of their work and friendly service. Thank you Evans !

Repair of tear in Leather Jacket was done very well and quicker than originally quoted. Not cheap

Brilliant service and great job!

I have used Evans in order to get quality leather repairs for many years and have received consistent quality workmanship. My mother used Evans before me.

I myself have been in customer service over 18 years and learnt from these guys on how to provide great personalised service to customers. Much appreciated.

A tad pricey compared to other places nearby, however the quality was amazing. Very friendly staff and you can feel safe having your more expensive items left behind for servicing/repair. Service was really fast, they told me it could take up to a week but got the text notification 3 days later.

First class service!

Did a great job on an ugly stain on my suede jacket. Expectations were low but you can now barely tell at all. If its a nice item, the price of service is worthwhile - on the expensive side of things but you absolutely get what you pay for.

Very friendly knowledgeable staff member- happy to recommend to potential customers. Sue E 👵🏻🌺

Excellent customer services. You will get email and text updating on the progress of your service. Quality of the work is great too. I had protective soles and water proof done on my leather ballet flats. They look fantastic!!! Highly recommended

I’m so thrilled I took my water logged louboutin wallet to Evans. They restored it to as new condition. I was worried about it, but they did such a magnificent job!! And the service was first class throughout, and finished a week earlier than quoted. Would highly recommend for all works to designer goods, so impressed.

Great old-fashioned, professional and friendly service. Nothing is too much trouble! Thank you to all at Evans. It is also a wonderful experience to visit your shop and see the old world charm of the spiral staircase and the beautifully-crafted cabinetry.

Excellent repair, even though tricky, and professional and friendly customer service.

Excellent, fast and professional turn around. Don’t waste your time or money going anywhere else!

I was very happy with my experience at Evans. Upon bringing in my absolutely destroyed pouch to be restored, I had a lovely chat with Jenny I believe, who was very knowledgeable. The service I received was excellent.

I knew it was going to be expensive as per other reviews and the state of my pouch, but it was definitely a lot more than expected. I knew I could easily buy a new one, but this had been a gift that I didn't want to just replace.

In all honesty I couldn't remember the exact colour when I initially received it, so was happy for Evans to re-dye as they saw fit. It is slightly different to the original (funny how you remember after it's all been done) but I expected this and am still over the moon with the colour, it has a much fuller colour and depth to the original which was more of a marbled look.

I had just bought an LV belt that i loove and heard about the quality work and how the customers treasured the work of Evans. So i went to get some extra holes for my belt as it was slightly too big, although customer service was great, the holes made on my belt was not in line with the original holes of LV which did make me quite upset, couldn't really do anything though as they had already been done.

I took and old leather jacket for reconditioning, the service and knowledge and result were all exceptional. Beautifully reconditioned without affecting the character of the jacket.
I couldn't recommend them enough.

Had my pair of Crockett and jones soles repaired and fitted with metal tips - pretty awesome job - much better value than a complete factory re-last. Nice to see Evans using the JR soles - pretty high quality materials and the finishing looks great.

The service was very friendly and efficient and speedy and I have already recommended Evans to my son.

Exceptional service, the sort of place that makes you look forward to when you'll have to go back.

Was thoroughly impressed with the end to end service at Evans. Very friendly staff, competent and fast turn around. I'd highly recommend using them. They seem honest and understand quality craftsmanship. I'll be back sooner than later.

Quality work, quality service. Can't ask for more. Thank you Evans!
I brought in a Dainese motorcycle jacket for repair to replace the main zipper. Job was botched by another provider.

Helpful and friendly repairs.

Old fashioned service and old fashioned (and therefore, detailed) attention to workmanship. Top address but reasonable prices. There are many famous cities in the world that don't have such a handy place to give life back to ones treasured leathergoods.

Evans were lovely to deal with and fixed my bag up perfectly :)

Workmanship is outstanding. The front of store team at Evans were fabulous and nothing was too much trouble.
Not cheap but I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for 👍👍

Excellent service and premium customer experience. Would highly recommend.

The quality of craftsmanship at Evans is unequalled. Be prepared to pay for this level of quality. A loved leather bag I'd previously had repaired destroyed the handle. Evans repaired it to the original state with a stronger handle.

True masters at their craft!

An incredible institution. The expertise is second to none. I was completely overjoyed when l found out that Evan’s could fix my old glomesh bag handed down by my mother. Is there anything they can’t fix??

Professional and friendly staff in a wonderful little shop did great work. It was clear they knew what they were talking about

Great customer service!

Shoddy quality and no responsibility.
I had rubber heals installed and they developed a squeaking sound. Went to the store and they would not repair. Only lasted 3 months.

I have since been contacted by the shop and they have resolved the issue. I will put this down to one bad staff member rather than the whole store. I will be happy to go back.

High quality products with a focus on getting to know the customers personal needs, only main criticism is it's on the pricey side.

I had them fix the strap on a leather messenger bag. Amazing quality of work and they turned it around in less than a week. The shoulder strap is stronger than when I first bought it and I know it's going to last me a very long time. STRONGLY recommend them if you need anything fixed!

Great service 😊

Amazing quality service and restoration of my wife's handbag - absolutely like a new handbag again, from a very neglected state. The photos speak for themselves. Very highly recommended

Always professional and kind 🙌

A fantastic little shop for all your leather-related needs. Prompt customer service and quality workmanship.

Great workmanship and attentive service.

Called me afterwards to see if I was happy with their work - very friendly and helpful.

Def'ly go there again for any future leather repairs.

Evans is one of the few remaining places in Melbourne that does specialty work in leather repairs. I have used their services several times now and high quality workmanship is what you should expect. They have the expertise to accomplish a wide range of jobs. Unfortunately their customer service can be a little hit and miss. Staff seem to lose track of items and a few times I have made the trip into the city only for my items not to be ready on the specified date. Make sure you call ahead.

felt a bit like I went back in time coming into this place such a quaint and traditional shop and they did some amazing repair work on my satchel to. also received some good advice about keeping it in good condition. Nice to see places like this still exist.

I brought a jacket in to Evans after a shop recommended them to fix some tears in the leather. The old man I talked to said he would make patches under the jackets lining so they would be less noticeable. I was pleased with the end result, patches were seamless and the only remnants of the tears were a few scars on the leather.Price was reasonable but not cheap, definitely worth getting a quote though.

great repairs

I had the leather strap for my handbag remade at Evans a couple of weeks ago. Friendly service and as always great attention to detail. Very pleased its usable again!

I've had my sandals for 2 years and i absolutely love them so i was devastated when the sole came off. I got my friend to drop them off at Evans and they only took a few days - they were replaced by rubber non-slip soles. They are as good as new! Thanks Evan!

Thank you Mr. Evans for restoring my favorite leather jacket. The price was well worth it. Thank You!

I have used Evans' services a few times over the years and my experiences have been good and bad. While they do a great job and there is no doubt that their focus is on the quality of the work, they falter with customer service.

Evans would benefit from giving their customers greater transparency with a price guide. You can easily feel like you are being taken for a ride when the price for a difficult task on once occasion is then the same amount quoted for a simple job on the next.

It's also a good idea to call ahead and check if your items are ready on the day they have specified for pick up, as in my experience they do not notify you if there is a delay.

Evans need to loose the attitude and stop inferring that if you question why something costs what it does you or your items are cheap.

Amazing Restoration. Probably one of the best in town, highly recommended. BUT, price is expensive. Quality is always there at it's best.
