Ayers Leather Shops:

Charlotte and Elrod founded Ayers Leather Shop, Inc. in Greenville, South Carolina, in 1950. Their daughter, Deb Ayers Agnew, grew up in the business, and after her graduation from college in 1971 joined her parents full time. Today Deb is CEO and head buyer. You will often find her on the floor helping a newcomer to Greenville, or on the phone with an old corporate client. Charlotte and Elrod, while semi-retired, lend a wealth of help and advice to Deb, the staff, and the customers of Ayers Leather Shops. The staff is extremely loyal and experienced, with the average employment at over 15 years. Compare that with the employees who don't know or don't care, that you find in department stores, chain stores and mall shops. The Ayers, their daughter, and everyone on the staff have traveled extensively. They have also built a rapport with business men and women from literally all over the world who regularly travel to Greenville. That experience gained directly, and through almost 50 years of close contact with international and domestic travelers, is available for your benefit.

We have tried to select luggage, leather goods, or gift items that are not so rare as to be unobtainable. However, high quality hand-crafted items are always in high demand and short supply. While we keep these items in stock and reorder in advance of anticipated needs, we urge you to order well in advance of holidays or special occasions. Shipping is normally within 48 hours of receipt of your order (Sundays and major holidays excluded). We will notify you if there will be any delay. We are also glad to notify you when your order is shipped, if requested when ordering. Please read about our refund policies, manufacturers' warranties and quality guarantees before ordering.

Luggage and Leather Goods:

Need something you don't see here? We stock thousands of luggage, leather goods, or gift items from hundreds of manufacturers. Be as specific as you can and we will respond with price and availability information. Want something, but don't know who makes it or even if it exists! Let us know, and we will be glad to help. After almost 50 years in the business, there just is not much that we haven't seen. If it is being made, we probably know where, and by whom.

Exception:
There are a few luggage and leather goods lines that we do not stock at Ayers Leather Shops. These are cheaply made and carried by discount stories, low end department stores, warehouse shopping clubs, etc. Our repair department does a brisk business putting this stuff back together.

If price is your main concern, then all the more reason to take advantage of our experience at Ayers Leather Shops. We will be glad to show you how to spend your money wisely on quality craftsmanship and materials, rather than on false discounts and fancy advertising campaigns. Don't forget quality doesn't mean expensive. You can find quality in all price ranges, if you know where to look - and we do.

Gifts:

We carry hundreds of gift items for all occasions. Give us a price range, occasion, some information about the recipient (age, gender, hobbies, business, interests, etc.) and we can suggest several items.

Need gifts for clients or employees? Seasonal or special occasions, let us help.

Note: For large or special orders for Christmas, please allow 4 weeks from the time you make your selection to the desired delivery date. International orders may take longer.
