SoleHeeled offers convenient and affordable Chanel bag repairs by Australia’s best craftsmen, with free shipping to your door. This case study outlines how we recently changed the colour of a customer’s Chanel bag.
The bag
This Chanel Wild Stitch Flap bag was looking a little tired after years of continuous wear, leaving an otherwise exquisite bag looking like a mere shadow of its former self. When the customer reached out to us for a free diagnosis/quote, we offered to clean and condition the leather throughout the bag before recolouring / refinishing the leather to an entirely new colour of the customer’s choosing.
Cleaning, conditioning and recolouring
Before attempting to colour the leather, we thoroughly cleaned the leather to remove any accumulated dirt and other impurities (e.g. oils) on the surface and then conditioned the leather to nourish it. We then proceeded to carefully paint the leather by hand and finally used a specialist finisher to leave the bag with a satin finish.
