A recent dramatic rescue of a Valentino purse...along with comments from the Rodeo Drive Valentino Boutique.

“A Rodeo Valentino boutique's heatbroken client brought into their store what was a brand new purse that she had recently purchased from them. This beautiful lambskin bag with contrasting quilted stitching and studded accents was completely destroyed (or so they all thought) by a very large, hand sanitizer spill that had stained large purple rings inside and out. The client was going to throw it away until they recommended Margaret’s Cleaners. As they had learned over the years, if there was any chance of successful cleaning or repairs of high end garments, leathers or suedes, Margaret’s is the only place to go.

Margaret’s did not disappoint them! When it was delivered back to the store the employees raved!

Here are some of the comments we heard....“Blown away”... “An amazing save”... “Truly astonishing”... “Looks new again”... “As though damage never happened”..."Absolutely spectacular work!"

Margaret’s is hands down, THE BEST!"

UPS just delivered my second Prada handbag to be cleaned by your business. I can't tell you how impressed I am by the beautiful results! The woman that called to tell me it was being shipped was so helpful and thorough. She was delightful and really went out of her way with customer service.

Though I live the majority of the time in Denver, I will always make a point of using your business whenever I am staying at our second home in La Jolla.
Thank you! — Jan B., New York

No one in Tucson could clean my bag and have any confidence in the results. I found Margaret's on the internet. Thank you for the wonderful job that you did on my handbag. It looks better than new! I'm giving your information to my local dry cleaner as they are very interested in being able to refer clients to you who have similar problems as mine. — Elizabeth P., Tucson, AZ

While at Neiman Marcus in San Diego, a wonderful sales girl recommened your store. Thank you for you exemplary workmanship. It's a pleasure for me as a client! — Cindy E.

I was not able to find someone locally [to fix my purse]. I did an internet search and based on your website and prompt response to my email, determined that your company was probably the best! I was very pleased with how everything was handled. In today's world, it is wonderful to find a company with "old world" values. Thank you so much! — Jayne E., Cincinnati, Ohio

You have restored two of my purses, one a vintage 1948 purse, to pristine condition. I just wanted to say thank you! — Sheila G.
