Places To Get A Belt Fixed?

[brotherother]

Hi,

 

Does anyone know of a place in Chiang Mai to get a belt fixed, specifically replacing the buckle?

 

TIA

Leather Craft.

Sridonchai Rd. on the same side as Suriwongs Book Store but closer to the SE corner of the moat.

I will be having some work done on one of my good belts soon.

I've just passed by and it looks like a nice little workshop.

Wish you better luck than I had.

 

My best belt buckle broke.  Could not find anyone to fix it.  Went to many places that were recommended.  No one was interested.

 

Bought a new good quality one from a leather goods shop.  About second week of having or I put it on for the 3rd time and the buckle fell apart.

 

Took it back to the shop and they refused to fix it, give me a new one, or give me a refund. 

 

Told me once it's left the shop they won't do anything. So annoyed.

How was that a good quality one?

Brand new beautiful belts are for sale by the hundreds at most markets. I have never  heard of having a belt repaired. However, if you have a beautiful  buckle and you  wanted it put on a new belt any street cobbler could do it.

Bummer on the replacement mate ... it doesn't sound like you bought a "new good quality one" seeing as it broke a few weeks after you bought it.

Robinsons are more expensive as a local go to, but sell decent quality range from which to choose on a lot of clothing and accessories, and if there's a problem they'll be far more likely to replace/exchange.

If there are any bootery's as Thai's often call them - shoemakers, (don't know CM that well) they might be a go to for repairs and new belts.

Done it a few times myself. First I bought a new belt. Replaced my old buckle with the new one. Did the same with the leather. It looks brand new now. Easy.

Saw a booth with hand made leather goods including belts at Jin Jai market.
