Will Leather Goods

yes, me too, was really surprised to see MADE IN CHINA when I took home my shoes and put them on. WTF. I am a liitle befuddled about that. So, I also bought a «parachute» large tote bag… now I want to call them and question where it was made before I continue to rave about this store. Beautiful goods fill the store but before you make your purchase and concern yourself about where it was made (if you care)…ASK.

A nice shop with high-​end goods, but Target-​level customer service. I love many of the items; they’ve great messengers and backpacks! Still, if you’re looking for Nordstrom or Filson– style returns or customer service, look elsewhere. After dropping a few hundred over the summer, I attempted to return a brand-​new, in-​bag item with receipt and the CC I purchased it with. Was told to come back later for a supervisor, so had to drive all the way back after work again. I was told «yes, it’s brand new and we carry it, but it’s been over 30 days so I can’t do anything, but call customer service.» I was then asked to call customer service, who said what the last three people did: we don’t know if we can return that (unused item with receipt) because it’s been over 30 days. They asked me to fill out an online form. Were I attempting to return last year’s camera model to Target without a receipt, I’d expect this lack of professionalism. I don’t have a good excuse for Will here; however, they’ve still many handsome products.

Wonderful place, visiting from California and had a great conversation with Gaia, really cool person, super helpful and just the definition of hospitality and customer service. Shout out to the homie Thor (yes that’s his real name and its badass.) for being just as awesome and helpful to my girlfriend. Great products+great people= great business. Hope this helps fellow shoppers!

I actually came here on my last Portland trip and was recommended this place from a fellow Unilocaler. They have an awesome assortment of leather goods. I did buy a sturdy belt from here. The dollar was good and with no tax it was a win win situation.

I’ve treaded on leather around downtown, old town, the Pearl and Knob Hill checking out all the stores with leather wallets. There are lots and lots of great leather selections! I was looking for a wallet that fits all my plastic. Did not want fat leather that would bulge – that would not fit my jeans pocket. I found a perfect bi-​fold, Italian leather wallet, not too thick, soft, smooth, smelled like leather which was vegetable tanned, nothing toxic. Sweet! For $ 110, not bad, most shops were around $ 100 or more. Stop in Will’s (got lots of leather goods for all) and see Gypsy who helped me hand pick my leather.

This shop looks good, smells good, but disappointed me. Nearly all the items are tagged with a handsome «Will Leather» label, «USA,» but look carefully inside the clutches, wallets, purses, bags because you’ll find the wee «Made in China» tag. So really, I don’t care that the stuff might be designed in Eugene, Oregon. It’s made overseas and is absurdly overpriced.

A pretty underwhelming affair from Will Leather goods. This spot claims OREGON and PORTLAND and EUGENE so hard but a majority of everything they make, sell and represent is manufactured overseas. Not sure how people can support this brand when they are quite obviously misleading their customers. At least the shop LOOKS nice.

I love Will Leather Goods although have to mention how disappointed I am to see a «Made in China» tag on their smaller items. Sad, I don’t see how this can be local & sustainable.
I’m sure the image of Will Leather is nice, but I can buy a Made in China item anywhere. If rather purchase something made locally.

Each time I’ve made a return visit to Portland, the neighborhoods have changed. Mississippi Avenue is a case in point, as is the Pearl. I can’t remember what used to be between Powell’s and the Ace Hotel, but now there’s a yupscale shopping promenade. Welcome to the higher rent district.
Will Leather Goods is out of Eugene and I’ve purchased a backpack or 2 (including a Give Will donation) and had always thought that this Company was part of the funky design vibe that makes this part of Oregon so cool. After wandering through both sides of the new Will Leather Goods Store (one on each side of the walkway), It’s clear that they’ve «evolved» and probably with a sizable infusion of investor cash.
I continue to love Will’s stuff and they offer a huge variety of leather/​fabric goods. But I’ll have to say that all the fancy schmancy touches left me a bit uncomfortable and wanting to go back to their website where Will and I first met under less pretentious circumstances. Sometimes a good friend can grow up too fast… or maybe forget where’s they’re from…

I have purchased the last bag for the rest of my life.. . I purchased a bag at Will Leather Goods last year and it is my favorite bag. Extremely durable and looks great. I think this will probably last for decades and it will probably look better with age. I have referred several people to this store and I am back in Portland tomorrow to get go shopping again. Great job on making a great product.

In town for a long weekend to visit a good friend. I was looking for a cool messenger bag for work stuff and he insisted I shop here. Wow! Amazing craftsmanship! The store has great pieces and the helpful, un-​pushy sales people helped me find just what I was looking for. The woman helping me even brought out my new bag fresh from the stock room. I added a really chunky woven leather bracelet to complete my purchase. I can’t wait to use it!

Great style and fashion, super friendly staff, very chic shops, but major quality issues. I’ve owned two bags from them: a leather messenger bag, and a leather/​canvas rucksack. The messenger bag had pretty poor quality leather and stitching on the strap that caused constant stretching and resizing (on 4^th additional hole on this one). This unintentional resizing would undo the stitching leading to repairs. The rucksack’s straps became quickly frayed and also had stitching come loose with only a one month trip across Europe! Thankfully, the shop was very understanding and swapped it out with a new one, but this is also starting to show problems and will likely be returned.
As an Oregonian, I really like their style and want to support a local company. However, they need to work on quality control and make sure the prices they demand are warranted. They are priced as a premium brand but need more work to earn it.

Ahh great store. Love love love Jackie! She was so helpful and knew everything about the products. I’ve had my bags for two weeks now, this is the real deal. I haven’t found anything this high in quality without adding several more zeros to the back of the prices at department stores.

Great quality leather goods with a lifetime warranty! Can’t ask for a better deal! Purses are fashionable and the home goods add subtle flair to living spaces. Shopping at Will’s is definitely a treat!

Really nice people and knowledgeable, combined with a beautiful product line: really cool! I came in to browse and check out the leather bags, but their shoe line is adorable as well. And across the small walkway of Union Way, at the other store location, they have nice Christmas gift ideas, or another occasion such as Father’s Day. They have all kinds of ideas of covering products, from an iPhone (of course :0) to a ballpoint pen.
I really like!

Great products, service, and coffee! Definitely worth checking joy when visiting Portland.

I’ve carried the larger McQueen Tote for a couple years as my work bag, it’s held up pretty well, one of the straps broke and I wasn’t going to bother sending it to be repaired (it’s an old bag) so I decided to cut off the handle and just use the shoulder strap.
While we were walking around, I had stopped in, honestly I had no intention on buying, I certainly did not need a new purse, but they were having a 30% off sale and with the perk of no sales tax in Oregon, it was easily justified as «something I deserved». Don’t ask. So I walked out with a beautiful gray McQueen Tote. He treated the leather for me and registered it as well.

soooo. there are so many nice leather goods here. and all say oregon on it. the leather is from oregon i guess. there are very nice bags, belts, wallets, you name it and they’re all there. pretty pricey but they look like really nice quality. the store is in this little nook that is actually a hipster-​like mall. THE ONLY THING IS that the wallet i bought from them says MADE IN CHINA. what is going on???
