THIS SITE IS A WORK-IN-PROGRESS. WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO ADD PRODUCTS AS SOON AS WE RECEIVE THEM AND HAVE CREATED THIS LINK AS AN ONGOING SECTION FOR GENERAL COMMENTS AND INFORMATION. WE REALIZE THAT SOME OF THE BELOW COMMENTS ARE A LITTLE LESS POLISHED THAN WHAT YOU MAY SEE ON OTHER BUSINESS SITES BUT AS A SMALLER COMPANY, WE CHOOSE TO BE TRUE TO OUR STYLE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND FOR  VISITING. WE HOPE THAT IT PROVES USEFUL IN SOME WAY.  

*I have said it before and I will continue to repeat myself. There are no secrets here. This operation is not trying to 'undersell' anyone. We are not a 'discount' outlet for leather. At the same time, I know that we are selling the best possible materials we can obtain at the best possible prices we can afford to sell them for. It's a real basic business concept that I hope our customers respect and agree with. I felt I had to make this post due to an increase in online and in-store comments regarding 'high prices'. Demitri 

*I am posting this as of May 2010. Some customers have mentioned that the 'auto-fill' form is not working properly. I will check email and respond to both addresses - 'demitri@leatherimpact.com' and 'leatherfacts@msn.com'. This is due to not filling in the 'text box' ABOVE the 'send' and 'reset' buttons. Please reenter the text exactly as it appears in the blank box, to the right of the white box. This is for security purposes. Thank you for your understanding. Demitri

*A QUICK NOTE - I wanted to say 'thank you,' to all of you out there...somewhere, who have taken the time to go online and make fair, positive, remarks about our little side-street operation. We have been in this business a long time, thanks to our loyal customers and I know that I preach daily, an attitude of respect, professionalism and gratitude for all of you who choose to (especially in these hard times) spend your hard-earned dollars with us. As I have said elsewhere in this site, I know I take none of you for granted and strive to sell you only the best materials I can. - Demitri

*PLEASE NOTE!!! AS OF TODAY (2/3/10), OUR EMAIL SERVER ISSUES HAVE BEEN RESOLVED. FEEL FREE TO SEND INQUIRIES TO EITHER DEMITRI@LEATHERIMPACT.COM OR LEATHERFACTS@MSN.COM. WE APOLOGIZE TO ALL OF THOSE WHO SENT EMAILS IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS THAT WENT UNANSWERED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND WE LOOK FOWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU ALL. - THE STAFF/LEATHERIMPACT, INC.

*This company has never claimed to be a 'cheap' source for leather and related materials. What we have always strived to be is a source for superior quality goods. A wise industry insider once stated that it was better to use synthetic materials than to use poor quality leather. We agree. As we state elsewhere and will keep repeating, these goods are the epitomy of 'you get what you pay for.' For those who conduct business with us, thank you for believing in our mission.

*Price lists do not make sense in this business. The nature of these goods and their complex cost structure creates fluctuation, especially with the 'exotics'. A price list would be inaccurate and misleading, ending in confusion and poor relations with our customers. Simply specify an item and ask 'how much', with a requested amount. Keep in mind that the quantity ordered usually will effect price although some items cannot be reduced in price unless purchased in very large quantities. We still feel that they are valuable and desireable items and want to present them here for our customers. Thank you for trusting in our straightforward pricing system. 

*Please do not ask for synthetic or 'faux' materials. We have a strong belief in the quote "a Jack of all trades, a Master of none." While these materials have their place, we do not want to be the company which provides them and operates in a manner that disregards the quote above. We try to stick to what we know...'Master' may be a strong term, but we strive to know what we are selling and think we know our products pretty well. Try us.  

 *I can't believe I'm bothering with this but...there is a 'review' site by the name of 'yelp.com'...nice name. A few years ago, a person supposedly came into our store and  left feeling unappreciated. While I do not mean to make light of this, I do not believe our operation deserves to be defined by one old, poor review. What bothers me is not that contradicting review but the other numerous positive reviews that have been posted since. Where are they? The site pulled them. I have no idea why. Customers took their time out to post nice comments about our shop. Thank you. I would  encourage all those who read this to never use that site. I would not use a site that manipulates its information and misleads its users. Demitri  

*Please do not ask what the 'cheapest' option would be...on any item. Apart from sounding ridiculous, it makes us feel 'cheap' and no one likes that feeling. We understand that a 'good deal' is an eternal desire for all of us, for any product or service...and believe that our prices are 'fair'. Thank you.
