Fleeing war-torn Europe for the United States after World War II, Deno Velis brought with him only two things: a strong work ethic, and the shoemaking skills taught to him by his uncle. After saving and sacrificing to open his own shop, he founded Deno’s of Highland Park in 1960.

Since 1960, Deno and his family have nurtured Deno’s into a regional and national legend in leather care and repair. In the 1990’s, the next generation of family became the new stewards of this Highland Park landmark. Highland Park, a small, highly-affluent suburb within Dallas, has presented Deno’s the opportunity and challenges of satisfying the shoe and handbag repair needs of the well-heeled. (Yes, we did say that!) And, since 1960, Deno’s of Highland Park has been providing superior workmanship using the finest materials for generations of our discriminating clients. We perform many repairs other shops won’t touch, even developing ways to fix the “unfixable.” Repairing and restoring the finest luxury brands and leather heirlooms is our business!

Whether repairing a favorite pair of shoes, polishing or refinishing a handbag, restoring a wallet, or replacing a zipper on an overnight bag, we have built our reputation one satisfied client at a time. We would love to add you to our list of thousands of happy Deno’s of Highland Park customers!
