SoleHeeled offers convenient and affordable Chanel handbag repairs by Australia’s best craftsmen, with free shipping to your door. This case study outlines how we recently repaired a customer’s Chanel handbag.
The handbag
This Chanel Jumbo Classic White Caviar leather handbag was not only looking old and tired but also heavily discoloured, with a shade of yellow throughout, reflecting the accumulation of impurities and stains on the leather throughout the bag’s exterior. When this customer reached out to us for a free diagnosis/quote, we offered to clean and condition the leather before recolouring / refinishing it.
Leather cleaning and conditioning
Before recolouring the leather, we first cleaned and conditioned it. We clean the leather in order to remove any dirt and impurities on the surface of the bag. And we condition the leather in order to nourish it, making it more supple and thus more likely to fully absorb the new colour we’ll be applying to refinish the leather.
Leather colour restoration
We then carefully recolour the leather. We do this multiple times over the course of about a week, applying multiple coats and allowing the new colour a few days to rest in between each coat.
