This old man was wearing, in the early days of reform and opening up, the kind of blue uniform in the factory, with a leather apron on his chest. Ten fingers, except for the middle finger of the left hand with a large rusty thimble. The rest of the fingers were wrapped around Bundy and bandages.

It seems that this handmade leather product is really a traditional handicraft.

The old man saw me and Big Wave. The eyes were locked on the LV bag in the big wave hand for the first time.

"Girl, do you want to mend your purse?"

Big Wave placed the Louis Vuitton messenger bag in his hand on the sewing machine.

"Uncle, do you see that I have such a big gap, can I still repair it?"

The old man put down the work in his hands. Pick up the LV bag with big waves. His eyes looked closely, and his hands kept groping for the breach.

Leaning less, the old man nodded confidently.

"It's a handmade bag. The material is the softest calfskin. I have the same leather here. I can use a little scrap to tinker with the inside of the bag.

The handmade pattern of the LV logo on it can also help you continue. Although the opening is large, it is not a big problem to repair.

Girl, you have to trust me. Just put the bag down, come and pick it up in two days, I promise to repair it for you, and you won't see any flaws with the naked eye. ”

The tone of the old man's speech. At first glance, there is goods in the stomach, and the confidence is sufficient.

Only a truly skilled craftsman can be so confident in his craft.

The big wave finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yuan Yuan is really amazing, and recommended such a good place to me.

Okay, sir, I'll put my bag here. How much does it cost to repair such a bag? Do you pay the full amount, or do you pay a partial deposit upfront? ”

Uncle said with a smile.

"Repairing this bag also uses only some cowhide offcuts. It doesn't cost a few bucks. If you pay for the handwork, you can give me 50 yuan.

When you come to pick up the bag in a few days, you can pay for it as well. ”

The big wave was a little surprising.

"How's that going to work? Uncle, it's only 50 yuan. I'd better give you the money first. You're not afraid that I won't come to pick up the bag, you've worked hard in vain!"

Everyone laughed. Place the big wavy bag on the counter behind you. I got busy with myself again.

Suddenly, the door rang again.

Walking into the handmade leather goods store, there are two people, a woman, a man, an old man and a young man.

The women are older. He is about fifty years old and has curly black hair.

Woman holding a basket of vegetables in her hand. As soon as I entered the house, I was gushing.

"Ahh The eggs were 3 pieces and 2 pounds two days ago. Today I went to the vegetable market and asked, and I found a 4 yuan 2 mao 8.

I went out with my son for such a big walk. It's that you can't afford to buy this when you see this, and you can't afford to buy it when you see that. In the end, I bought a Chinese cabbage and a pound of mung bean sprouts.

I'll fry a vinegared cabbage slices in a while, and then make a mixed bean sprouts. ”

It turned out that this woman was the old man's wife, the hostess of a handmade leather goods store.

They should have been followed by their son. He looks about 30 years old and is quite tall. He has long hair in a shawl, and he looks very shrewd.

This man saw me and Big Wave. His eyes swept over the extra LV bag on the counter.

"Ma'am, you're here to mend the LV bag, right?"

Big Wave nodded.

"A limited edition messenger bag that I accidentally scratched just now. ”

The man stepped forward. Pick up the LV bag on the shelf.

"Oops, this cut is not small, and it takes a little bit of work to repair it. It costs about 1,000 yuan. ”

“1000？”

The big wave was a little surprising.

"I have already negotiated the price with this old gentleman just now, isn't it fifty?"

The old man was a little embarrassed. hurriedly reprimanded his son.

"Put the bag down. Something that doesn't fight. Sky-high asking price. Didn't you smash our brand?"

The middle-aged man turned his back. His father muttered quietly.

"What do you old guy know? This bag costs more than 30,000 yuan. Those who can afford this luxury are rich people, and I want less than 1,000 yuan. 50 yuan, no wonder you have been poor all your life. ”

Da Bo and I immediately understood what this middle-aged man meant.

Big Wave has always been arrogant, and he is not a calculating person.

"Okay! 1000 is 1000. I believe in the master's craft. As long as I can repair my bag, the price is not a problem. ”

When the old man heard this, his face was full of crampedness, and even his hands trembling when he was doing handiwork.

"Well, how can this work? The price has been negotiated just now. Don't listen to me, little rabbit, full of nonsense!"

Big Wave hurriedly said.

"It's okay. Luxury goods are inherently more expensive than ordinary leather bags. Naturally, the price of repairs will also rise. ”

The uncle's son hurriedly stepped forward. Hippie smiled.

"The girl is right. If you can't fix it, you have to be especially careful. My father's craftsmanship is not surpassing the whole of Penang, even the whole of the three northeastern provinces.

Guaranteed to give you exactly the same repair as new. You can't see the slightest blemish with the naked eye. ”

Big Wave nodded in agreement.

The middle-aged man continued.

"Look, girl. Can you pay a deposit today? Just pay 200 yuan first. ”

The boss became more and more angry when he heard this, so he simply didn't interject, turned around and walked into the kitchen. I guess I went to cook with my wife.

Big Wave wanted to touch his wallet from his body.

"Oh! I've got my wallet in my purse. ”

The big wave stepped forward. Pick up your own Louis Vuitton from the counter.

Put all the contents of the purse on the sewing machine. There is a mobile phone wallet, an ID card, a small mirror. There are also a variety of cosmetics.

The middle-aged man watched. Take the opportunity to sell.

"Madam, look, your free shipping is repaired here with us, do you have no place to put these things?

Take a look at these handmade leather bags on our counter. It's all handmade by me and my father.

The materials are all fine calfskin and lambskin. It's no worse than the big-name luxury goods that come out of the counters. ”

"Really?"

Big Wave suddenly became interested.

Holding a wallet in one hand, he lingered at the counter.

"Oops! I didn't even look carefully when I entered the door. There are really a lot of styles of leather bags in your house. ”

Big Wave casually picked up a brown-red box square bag.

"This style is very much like the Hong Kong style of the 70s. ”

The middle-aged man nodded.

"This is what my father just made the other day. The material is made of high-quality cowhide. Every button on it, every rivet, is the best material. You look at this zipper, this hardware technology, no worse than big-name luxury goods. ”

Big Wave holds the brown-red box square bag in his hand. Look at it repeatedly.

"It feels really good, and the sewing lock here is too detailed. When I was studying in Yenching, some of the niche brand bags I bought didn't have such craftsmanship!"

The middle-aged man looked flattering.

"Our house is handmade. It's cheap. Like this bag in your hand, it only costs 300 yuan. The price is lower than that of A goods. ”

"So cheap!"

Big waves' eyes suddenly lit up. It's like finding a treasure.

"I want it!"

The middle-aged man saw that there was a rush in the store, and hurriedly continued to recommend.

She picked up a crocodile-patterned brown-black briefcase on top of the counter.

"Ma'am, look at this one again. This is pure crocodile leather, the latest style.

It is now popular to hold briefcases. Especially when a beautiful and capable lady like you holds it, it is remarkable that she has an aura. ”

Big Wave took this bag in his hand, and he couldn't put it down.

"Oh yes, this one looks good, too. This style is quite trendy. Your father is so good at knowing the current fashion styles. ”

The middle-aged man scratched his head embarrassedly.

"I made this bag myself. I've always loved it. So it was placed on top of the counter. ”

"Ahh ”

The middle-aged man smiled smugly.

"It's a traditional craft at home. Our family has been making leather products for generations.

It's a pity that modern people pay attention to brand and face. No one pays attention to traditional handmade crafts. ”

Leaning less, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly fell lonely. Muttering to himself.

"The leather products of our house are of good quality. It's really no worse than those big brands. It won't be bad for more than ten or twenty years on your back. Unfortunately, there is no business now. It's going to fall!"
