Custom made shoes and Bags in Bangkok
 
Does anyone knows where to get very good quality custom-made shoes and bags from exotic skin, crocodile, etc in Bangkok? Planning a trip to Bangkok in January for 10 nights. Please let me know if you have any suggestion. Thanks.

There is a leather shop in River City Mall, near the Royal Orchid Sheraton. Can't think of the name of it, but a friend has had at least one or two pairs of boots made there. Stingray was one of the skins. They do bags as well.

There is a shop in the Mall in front of the Marriott Resort and spa on the upper level that has what you want. I think I recall they do custom work. Beautiful products. If you live in the US check the customs list carfully. It would be a shame to spend alot of money and have it confascated.

In Bangkok where Soi 19 meets Sukhumvit there is a place called Siam Bootery.

Here is one place in Pattaya that has been around for a while.
