Tandy Leather Orem - 171 — Local services in Orem

Ventured out to Orem today to specifically look for gum tragacanth. I should've called in advance to see if they would have it, because when I got there, they didn't have any left and didn't even have it in the stock room - just my luck! It was a pretty decent leather goods store, as soon as you walk in you are welcomed by the lovely smell of leather! I was impressed to see they also had do-it-yourself kits of how to make a leather bag 💼 👜. All the holes are already pre-punched in the kit, so all you need to do is manually put it together. There was a cute little 🛒 shopping cart and some toys in it for the littles if you bring small kids 👧🏻 so they can entertain themselves while you explore the place. They had different kinds of leather cuts, colors, and varieties. They had different soft leather to choose from, whether you're planning on upholstering a piece of furniture, or your 🚗car seats💺! They also had pieces of (more) stiff leather. There was also a wall of chemical compounds to choose from to care for your leather goods. There was a friendly guy employee who helped me initially, super friendly and genuine. There was also an employee named Maya (who seemed to be the manager) who this employee asked about a question he needed help with. Maya wasn't as friendly at first in her interaction with me (no warm smile, or didn't act like she was happy to see us), but as soon as she found out I was a Yelper, she became more warm towards us...

If you are looking for a leather project, or just coming to get some tools and leather, or coming to learn this is the place. I go to many different places but this store is the best.

The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They are also helpful and will make suggestions fit for you.

It is wheelchair accessible and has parking. They have curbside pickup as well as instore purchases.

If you are concerned about masks, they wear one and make sure your safety is #1.

If you desire to educate yourself on leather, their website is an invaluable tool to find the proper leathers and uses for your projects. The store always has something new. I reccomend if you have a project, come loaded with questions.

Thank you for the Awesome staff...

I sent my boyfriend here with my leather bracelet because the snap was really loose, and it kept falling off. He went here while I was at work to get it fixed. They said aren’t supposed to do that kind of stuff, but they would show him how to use their tools to do so. The lady demonstrated how to do it, (and just fixed it herself), and handed the bracelet back to my boyfriend. They didn’t even charge him! And the new snap is keeping the bracelet secured. They were...
