Q: I love your shopping blog and website, and I hope you will have the answer to this question.
We have some feather comforters that were bought years and years ago by my grandmother at a store near Prince Arthur in Montreal (Becker’s or Baker’s?). They were taken really good care of, but the decades have left their mark, and there are now some tears in the fabric, and the comforters can use some new down filling.
We’d like to fix them and keep them in the family, but we can’t seem to find a place in Montreal that would do the repairs! Any ideas?
A: If you had perused my web site www.smartshoppingmontreal.com and looked under Household, Duvets, you would have found 2 possibilities:
Ungava Duvet http://www.smartshoppingmontreal.com/store.php?s=18
Duvet Millenium http://www.smartshoppingmontreal.com/store.php?s=222
Q: I have an old RCMP pea coat that belonged to my father. I would like to get it cut down and restyled to fit me. Do you know of anybody in the city who could do this for me?
A: On my website, under the section called Repairmen, it mentions that Bellingham Cleaners and Tailors has seamstresses on the premises. http://www.smartshoppingmontreal.com/store.php?s=167
Another option is in my book, on page 162 which is subtitled: Seamstresses: You can call 514-514-1235 and ask for Maria.
Q: I dropped a piece of my china and it broke neatly into 4 pieces. Can you recommend somewhere to go for it to be fixed?

Q: I have a question for you. I got a beautiful wool coat that is a bit long on the sleeves and hem and wide at waist. I wish to have it altered by a skilled and willing tailor. Do you happen to know of such service in NDG? Your help is really appreciated.

Q: I have a wooden dining room armchair that needs to be repaired. Do you have a service man that can solve this problem?

At Cordonnerie Westmount, the skilled repairman has learned from an uncle, a master shoe repairman. He was taught how to fix vintage bags, rips from dog bites and broken heels. You can have your high heels raised or lowered here, purses can be repaired, bags, jackets and shoes can be re-dyed, and boots that are too wide can be put on a diet.
If you have really high end shoes – Louboutin, Jimmy Choos, Stuart Weitzman and Gucci, he can fix slippery leather soles on those fancy labels. They can be made safer and last longer when improved by making them non-slip.
Products for shoe maintenance can be found on the shelves, as well as those non-slip grips for traction on ice – this is Canada, after all.
