Love Leathers

I live in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. I had helped a friend move 12/2007 to Washington. He told me about Love Leathers. On our trip up, we stopped in. The staff were courtious, and real down to earth. I had looked on-line, and knew I wanted the 'Coburn' jacket. I tried a couple of them on, and found the perfect one. T-Bell said what it would cost to alter the sleeve's to fit. It was going to take a couple days. I paid, left, helped my friend, and came back a couple days later. My jacket wasn't ready, but it would be shipped free of charge. I call that service. It only took another day or so before my jacket arrived, back home. The Coburn jacket was perfect. Sleeve's nice. In the shipping box, they had sent along a thank you, the invoice, and a little leather toy, addressed for my wife. We both laughed and decided that she and I would go see those folks at Love Leather's again. I'm really pleased that I came here, and met those wonderful people.

This missive is in response to krhack- While I can certainly empathize with your frustration, it is simply not fair to take it out on the new (old) owner. It was not her businees that "did you wrong,' it was the other owners that owe you. They were the ones that sold you a bogus gift certificate. The new (old) owner was just the lease holder on the building who was faced with paying off a large debt, or going back in business to recover the good will that she previously had. To blame the new owner for your problem is like buying a set of tires form a tire store, when that store goes out of business, a different tire store move in, and expecting the new store to honor the guarantee of the last store. Same building, but different owners. Go after the old owners, not the new.

Walked through the door, and was greeted by staff with "There's cookies by the fridge, cold pop in there, and the coffee's fresh! Help yourself!" These folks are some of the nicest you could ever want to meet! They will go the extra mile for you!

Pros: Easy to get to, great service, plenty of parking

Love's Leathers (UBI: 602637550) which was purchased in September of 2006 by Monique Still and Billy Malone (Stillone Enterprises) IS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS having closed their doors on April 30, 2008. Wendy Love, the original proprietor of Love's Leather, still held the lease on the building located at 1912 NE 179th Street in Ridgefield, WA. Faced with paying off the lease (a very substantial amount) or returning to the building and starting over...she chose the later....HENCE, WENDY LOVES COMPANY (UBI: 602660758), FOUNDED ON MAY 1, 2008 IS BACK , AND WITH IT, A LARGE portion of the ORIGINAL LOVE TEAM including, Janet, Susan, Laura & Connie. Wendy Love's goal is to return the company that she grew and nurtured for 17 years to its former glory...her message of ministry before money & loving people of all colors, creeds, ages, sizes and shapes is a refreshing breath of fresh air in a world of data driven corporate greed. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE WHO HASN'T EXPERIENCED WENDY LOVE'S HOSPITALITY TO GO ON UP TO THE STORE...you will find yourself greeted by a doting sales crew who offers you free cookies, hot coffee and soda from the gate and will spend hours helping you find what you need. There are live local bands playing on Saturdays thru summer. Try a free game of pool on the complimentary pool table or just bring the kids and the dog and hang out. Even if you do not ride, you will be amazed at all the cool stuff that is available to the non-riding community. The motto "IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO, COME DO NOTHING WITH US" stands. See you all there. The new Phone number is 360-546-3114. Please call to get our new email address. ***Wendy Loves Company will be having a GRAND RE-OPENING CELEBRATION on June 29, 2008***

We have been good customers at Love Leathers. We bought a $100 gift certificate for our son for Christmas. When we went in to use it after the Holiday, they had a good run for the Holiday and their stock was very low. We were told to come in again later when they got their spring shipment in. We showed them the gift certificate and were assured that it was good for one year so there was no problem in waiting. We went in last week and bought over $400 worth of goods. When we went to use our gift certificate, we were told that they had different owners and they were not honoring the gift certificates. We were given a phone number the call the previous owner and said that she would make good on it. Yeah right! We have left numerous messages and tried to call many more times and we have gotten no response at all. Love Leather should have practice good business and honored our gift certificate and went after the previous owner themselves, but instead they left a good customer out of luck. I will never shop there again and I will tell everyone I know about their bad business practices. Love Leathers is a bad place to spend your money!
