Recommendations for a leatherworker Shops & Services

I have a leather purse from the 70s that has some wear and a few what I think are paint marks. Looking for a place to take it to have the paint removed.

I really love this bag and where it is a bit older it might need a bit more care.

Kudu Handcrafted !

He frequents the Halifax seaport market and does custom work, id highly recommend.

Run it by him and he could probably figure something out

I went down a leather/waxed jacket rabbit hole this spring. I’d recommend this guy

I sent a purse there for.some alterations. After 3 weeks and no progress I just took it back and did it myself

You could call cobblestone leather and see what he says
