Thank goodness for the old style shops and craftsmen that you can still find in the backstreets of Corfu town. There are numerous tiny shops where you can find someone, usually a lady but sometimes a man, sitting behind a sewing machine making alterations and creating new outfits.
I needed to get a leather strap sewn back on to a handbag, so I had to find a specialist with a heavy duty sewing machine. No problem! A simple enquiry at the heel bar led me to this amazing treasure trove of a workshop behind the Ethniki Bank and my bag was fixed on the spot for practically nothing.
