Waterman's Leather

Massive thank you to the lovely owner, he is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and has a fantastic selection of bags. All the stock is new and never used but could also be vintage, a bag lovers dream! I am absolutely delighted with my new bag. 10/10 would recommend!

I went into the shop last month to buy my husband a credit card holder. It's an amazing shop, full of lovely leather items and the smell is amazing. The owner was really friendly and helpful. I chose a very nice holder and he surprised me being kind with the price. I'm definitely going back.

I contacted Patrick as I had previously visited Rye and needed help fixing my handbag. I brought the bag with me on my visit today and he was able to fix the handle within an hour of dropping it off. So pleased with the service, top notch and highly recommended.

Bought the most beautiful handbag from here whilst on a day trip to Rye, and there were so many others I had my eye on too! Can’t wait to visit again, so much more worth buying from here than from bigger stores. Patrick was also so warm and friendly, such a lovely person!!! ❤️

Today I bought at an exceptionally good (reduced price) cabin bag for a trip to Spain on Tuesday. The shop owner even offered for me to borrow it for the trip and return it afterwards which was unbelievably kind and generous but I chose to buy the bag. I couldn’t have wished for better service and I’m thrilled with my purchase. It renews your faith in humanity when you come across genuinely sincere and obliging people like this gentleman. Thank you. You made my day !

So grateful for a great service when my new belt needed a couple more holes punched. Such a friendly owner - and the shop was packed with a great selection of leather goods.

What a lovely man so helpful and friendly , he managed to fix my strap for my well loved handbag the turn around was amazing to just 2 days, highly recommend and he also stocks some amazing items
