They’ve dyed my handbags, sized belts to perfection, and even added new lining inside of my purses. As far as shoes go, they can stretch your shoes to fit better, resole your favorite shoes, and change the color of any pair.
Anthony’s has been in business in Orange County for more than 65 years and they can work miracles. They specialize in shoe, boot, luggage and leather repairs.
