I drove up from Portland Maine to find green scrap leather and found that and more! Churchill was very welcoming and very helpful. The amount of scrap leather he had was mind blowing. I dug deep into boxes to make sure I didn’t miss anything and he was very accommodating, helping me pull the large boxes out to get to the back and bottom of each one. The variety of leather and colors made it super easy to find what I was looking for and also gave me new ideas for projects! Will absolutely be returning for more!

I love this place! We received an old trunk from some friends who were moving and I had no idea how to restore it until I found their website. We also purchased new handles, nails, etc from their website. Cannot endorse this store enough!

Ordered leather handles, nails, and post fasteners to repair my antique trunk. Outstanding quality, prompt service, and very reasonable prices. They also worked with me to consolidate two orders to qualify for their free shipping. Thanks for great service and great products!! Highly recommend

Spoke with the owner about an antique trunk that I’m restoring, he was very knowledgeable about everything I questioned him about. He sold me the hardware I need an went through the installation process step by step for me. Enjoy my visit to his shop and will go back again when I need anything or any advice!R WhitneyCasco, Me

I ordered a 5lb lot of scraps in hopes of having workable stropping leather.The finish of the leather was beautiful and workable. The pieces were generous and exciting to see.Being a newbie to specs for leather a better idea how to gage thickness or weight would help. Maybe when better versed it will not be as difficult for me. Fast service nice people.

Great customer service, fast shipping. Ive ordered quite a few pieces some types i adore, and when they were not quite what i was expecting they kindly returned them and reimbursed me as soon as i sent them back. I will be doing more business with Brettuns. I like that they give hides a second chance and some are from small farms.. thank you

The trunk replacement parts I ordered were exactly as described and very high quality. I was a little skeptical of ordering a key that would actually work on such an old trunk lock but it worked perfectly, I was beyond amazed!! The shipping was incredibly quick too!! Also appreciated all the helpful information on your website about restoring trunks. Would TOTALLY order from you again.

I got a second-hand (or 3rd or 4th-hand) dresser with 1 key to the built-in Secretary drop front. With it came the comment dont lose the key!After refurbishing the pierce I knew I needed a spare. Skeleton key #21 was perfect. Exactly as described. I really appreciated the exact measurements -barrel length and I.D., tab length, width, and thickness- on your website.Indie is doing a great job!

I was very satisfied with my order of canvas and trunk corners. The corners fit perfectly and makes the trunk look great. The canvas was larger than expected and i am excited to see how the trunk will look with all new canvas on it.

Review №26

My son had an old steamer trunk that needed work. After a quick search I found Brettuns Village. They had the exact lock that I needed and shipped it to me in 2 days. What really set them apart from other vendors is the way they reacted to my follow-up question. The steamer trunk has one missing metal corner bracket. When I asked about it (I included a photo) the owner went to his warehouse to see if he could find one that matched. The owner.... Brettuns has fabulous customer service.

This knowledgeable and friemdly company provides some of the best service I have ever experienced.Their suggestions are precisely on point, save a bundle of money, and when they dont have exactly what you need they probably have the reference material that will allow them to look it up and send you a picture. At least that was what they did for me when they didnt have exactly the key that I needed. I was more than impressed, I was blown away.The quality of their leather handles is better than the originals. I cannot recommend them sufficiently.

Great site with friendly, fast and helpful ideas. Products shipped fast, exactly what was described on their site. When I discovered something Id done was going to be a problem to install/use their product, they were fast in responding to my questions with multiple ways to solve the problem. Great folks, humorous to boot. Thanks!

Review №32

We searched the Internet for a sturdy replacement handle for a hard drum case. Virtually all handles we saw would require us to remove the riveted D-rings from the case and then re-rivet the new handle. We were delighted to find your handle that clips on to the existing D-rings. It is sturdy and works perfectly. Thank you!

Review №33

I ordered the Brass Plated Stay1 . It arrived quickly and works well. I am using it to hold up the lid of an old wooden trunk. I am not perfectly refinishing the trunk, I just wanted some added safety. The web site has everything I need if I do decide to refinish one of my old trunks.

Review №34

Brettuns Village was really great to me after purchasing a few items...(which was my first time shopping from here). At checkout, I did not realize I had not changed my address which sent my package to a location I no longer reside. A couple of days later, they inquired and verified that I had not received my order. Unlike some other companies, they wanted to make sure I got what I payed for...and as a consumer I very much appreciate that. I feel I was taken care of very well and for that I will always shop here for needs. Thank you for your honesty and making me number 1 among all others!

Not only was the how-to page helpful to me on restoring our old steamer trunk, but the handles I ordered fit perfectly.

I have purchased trunk restoration items from Brettuns on several occasions, and have always been completely satisfied! They have a large selection of products, and are reasonably priced. Shipping is free and always quick. In addition I have asked them several questions (via email) about restoring trunks, and Churchill has always responded with excellent advice and in a timely manner.

While I made a minor purchase, I was very pleased with Brettuns Village. The item was accurately described, the purchase was easy, the shipping immediate, the communication great and the follow-up convinced me they really did care. Next time I need something like this, I will go to Brettuns Village first.

Granddads Refinishing, LLC is a furniture restoration co. in NJ. Instead of ordering trunk handles from a more national company I tried Brettuns Village. Beautiful product! The price is well below reasonable and I got the product in a few days. Im only sorry that we dont have occasion to restore trunks more often.

I own the Kingsley Armoury and we have ordered leather from a number of suppliers. Being in Canada the exchange rate can cause a challenge, but bang for buck, Brettuns is always one of my first places I look for materials. Dont forget to look at their hardware too.

Review №46

After inheriting an old steamer trunk from my recently passed father, I consulted with Brettuns about restoring it. Brettuns was incredibly helpful when explaining the trunks value (both materially and emotionally) as well as explaining the work ahead should I elect to undertake the project myself.This was a much more difficult job then I anticipated. It would have been impossible without Brettuns advice at every step of the process, as was their website. I did follow their advice and bought the tools and parts I needed from them.. Delivery was fast and accurate. They were Indispensable and I am very thankful to everyone there. Their generosity is something rare in this day and age.

Few people visit this place. Its not set up for shopping, as one might be used to. They sell some leather tools, All American made and high-quality, and leather. Also, trunk restoration tools and parts. If you happen to be in the area drop in. Theyre very friendly and you get to meet the dog, who is a complete sweetheart. A week after my visit, I called from my home in Michigan and placed an order for two sides of leather. They arrived in 2 days. their return policy is, if you dont like what you got, send it back, but I wont be sending these back. If you are a leather crafter, and happen to be near Lewiston, pop in. The prices are more than reasonable on their leather.
