Bayou Belts LLC

Outstanding craftsmanship with alligator belts made for husband and son. Owner committed to the best products and details. Great shoe repairs too.

I have been a customer for about 5 years and have never been disappointed! Great service at reasonable prices. I have had high end boots and shoes repaired here and would recommend to anyone wanting great workmanship in a very timely manner! I will be a customer for as long as they are in business!

While I was in high school my dad bought me an alligator belt and I’m not kidding when I tell you that I wear that thing all the time. If you see me in anything other gym clothes, a suit or pajamas, chances are I’m wearing that belt. Finally, after 15 years of continuous wear, the belt started to come apart. The leather on the back was all warped and stretched out and was separating from the alligator skin. The holes were all stretched out from me getting fatter as I got older. The loop had fallen off. I took it to Bayou Belts to see if it could be repaired. The owner told me that he could take it apart, clip the leather and reshape it, fix the loop and clean it but it wouldn’t be perfect because there was so much wear on it. He also said it would be fairly expensive. I’m looking around at his store and he’s got belts starting at about $ 500, so I’m thinking I’d be willing to spend about $ 150 to get this one decent looking. He calculates the cost and it’s like $ 25. Of course I tell him to go ahead with the repair. A few days later he calls me up to let me know that it’s finished. I’m not expecting that much, not for $ 25. I get there and the belt looks almost brand new. It feels and smells brand new. The alligator skin is polished and looking great! The leather on the back is flawless. I can’t believe how incredible it looks for only $ 25 worth of repair. If your belt is looking janky, I can’t recommend this place enough!

Great service! I had a belt resized (one of those belts that are sold with a generic size, and are supposed to be cut to the size of the wearer). It took about 10 minutes and 21 $.

Another great job on a pair of shark skin boots where he put on a set of vibram sole savers that are holding up very well 4 months later. Continue to highly recommend.

Being a very petite lady (almost 5’0), I have trouble with strap lengths on many bags. The sales clerk at Saks suggested I look into having it adjusted. I did a quick search, this place popped up and was in the neighborhood so, I said what the heck I’ll give it a try.
So glad I came here. The guy was super friendly and thoroughly explained everything to me. Affordable and quick (next day TA). Will definitively use them again. Satisfied customer.

I had my favorite boots repaired and they did a wonderful job. I highly recommend them as they did excellent work, had great prices, and very fast service!

great service and owner.

Given time and sufficient effort, you finally break-​in your boots so they become a part of you. Paradise on Earth! However, eventually either the heels or the soles need replacing. What to do? That decision ranks right up there with whom would you trust with your hair. Bayou Belts is where I go when those beloved boots need some tender care. I’ve been using them for years. Prices are reasonable and I have always come away very satisfied with the quality of his work.

This was some of the best work repair work and customer service that I have experienced in New Orleans. I dropped off my leather gear repair and within hours I received a call that it was ready for pick up. The work was done professionally and looks FANTASTIC! I would highly recommend. And the dog greeter was just an added bonus…

I lhave had several shoes repaired and have had very successful dealings with Bayou Belts. They have also sewn a belt clip on a phone case for me and it worked perfectly.
