Got a suitcase in need of repair? Is your umbrella all bent out of shape? Get them fixed here!
Head to the Matuna section of town (basically between Centro/San Diego & Getsemaní) and check out where the Davivienda Bank ATM is on Calle Palmera (see “Cajero Davivienda” marked with a yellow star on map below; the Calle de la Moneda apartments are represented by the red marker).
“Talabartería Luis” is a father/son team who will fix your luggage, briefcase, purse, & assorted leatherwork. Right next to them is someone who can repair your broken umbrella. Everything is done efficiently and at a reasonable price. They can all likely fix more than what is listed as well, or point you to someone who can if they can’t. It’s no throwaway society here!
