You've gotta love the specialty shop here. They have them for almost everything. I once saw a luggage repair shop here in Leblon or maybe Ipanema, now I could use it and I can't think of where it is - can anyone help me out with that one???

Hi. I think I remember seeing this type of store (conserto de malas) on Humberto de Campos, on the other side of Bartolomeu Mitre going towards Joao Lira. I think, not sure though. Good luck.

There is one that I've used many times before, but like many brazilians, don't know the address, and I'm not that great about remembering the exact location. :( But I can try to explain! Coming from Leblon on Ataulfo de Paiva, right when you get to Visconde de Piraja, there are "galerias" on each corner of Paul Redfem and Visconde. I think the luggage repair shop is inside the galeria on the left, must I'm not 100% positive... Hope this helps a little bit...
