hi....personally i'd say (along with many others) avoid le prevo like the plague though unfortunately i still have to use them for some hardware because to do otherwise is to simply throw money away....i have however shifted 90 percent of my purchases over to other companies since the recent well publicised 'amicably settled' fiasco....and the amount of leather, dye, hardware that i get through now means le prevo are losing many thousands from me alone per year.
if you want leather, knowlege and speedy service then its quite simple....
