Leather & Sewing Supply Depot

take a deep breath before going in, relax, don’t fight the pace inside and you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for… if what you’re looking for is leather or fabric related. thanks for all the help

This place is great! They had literally everything I needed for my leather projects, and helped me find them despite the fact that I didn’t know what half the things I needed were called. They even let me try out a couple tools before I purchased. Sure it’s a little disorganized, but thankfully they know where everything is AND it’s all priced affordably. Can’t wait to go back!

Leather pieces and scraps in many different colors, very useful. I like repairing and making stuff, and this will be a good place to get leather supplies.

I was here with my friends to buy leather to make some handmade stuffs.
It’s a very small, suffocated, dark and disorganize store with lots of sewing supplies. I felt like we were doing some illegal business when I first stepped in. It was almost their closing time so it wasn’t busy.
The service was on and off. One staff helped us at first and she seemed clueless about the products and she needed to seek answers from another staff she worked with. However, she was very nice and helped us to find the supply we wanted with no complaints or attitude.
Another staff was uneasy to tell. He was friendly at this point, then he sounded rude at another point. But he answered all of our questions. He was nice to not asking us to leave when they were closed. (We were the last customers)
I have to say the staffs here are very honest. The guy, his name is Adam I think, honestly gave us the measurement and the price for our supplies. (Some can just make up the measurements and increase the price).The staffs here aren’t trying hard to convince you to buy their stuffs. They give you the price, if you don’t like it then it’s fine. I don’t really like when someone try to sweet talk me and push me to buy their products.
Well, I think they might have a long, tough day that day. It’s understandable:) I gave them 3 stars for their efficient and their willing– to– help service.

crowded, dark, disorganized — awful!
This is probably a treasure trove for people in the know, so I’m going to suggest that it is not for the faint of heart or the dabbler. If you are a really committed creator of ??? its probably worth getting to know the place and developing a relationship with the propietors.

I came across this place quite by accident when I was wandering Chinatown on a recent trip to Toronto. I walked downstairs and my jaw dropped at the prices. I pay easily 4 to 5 times more for the same items at home– some even more.
This place is amazing! I stocked up on a bunch of stuff I’ll need for some upcoming projects, and got fun ideas for even more projects.
The saleslady who was helping me was very knowledgable and sweet, and she was very patient explaining some items to me that I hadn’t worked with before.
I can’t wait until my next visit! This may be my new favourite store.

Eight-​fifty a.m. on a Monday, the door is open and a rushed and grizzled man in his sixties helps me find two pieces of brown leather in their «leather scraps» box, and I’ve got exactly what I need for new pocket and sleeve liners — for $ 10.15. Plus a lust for all the ribbons, fabric and tailoring supplies piled up in an orderly mess, floor to ceiling. This place is great.

Incredible service and kindness when I was dollar short in cash. Holy cow they were nice and helped me find what I needed. Ten stars.

I was referred here by a tailor when I brought in my (fake) leather jacket because a snap had gone missing and was told this place would have hundreds of snaps and I’d get it fixed for 3 or 5 bucks. I wasn’t really holding him to the price because that seemed stupidly low, but I rushed here and came in RIGHT a 6 — closing time.
The door was still open and they were still helping customers. I figured I’d get an eyeroll and rude service for coming in when they were supposed to close, but he took my jacket, fixed it in a minute and a half flat, and lo and behold — 3 bucks! Didn’t have to go any time without my jacket and I was willing to pay 20 bucks to have it fixed!

I come here for all my zippers, leather bits and anything I need to sew with. Very cheap and full of variety, but it can be overwhelming when you first walk in.

Pretty bad experience here. went to get some simple supplies, needles, thread, etc. sales associate was extremely condescending and rude. She totally ignored what I said I needed and suggested some useless stuff. Even though she didn’t know what she was talking about she continued to ignore my needs and give completely incorrect advice. Apparently had no clue that upholstery fabric is different from regular fabric. At least she found the needles I was looking for. Very disorganized store with a mediocre selection at best.
Went across the street to world sewing centres after and breathed a sigh of relief. Won’t be returning.
