SoleHeeled offers convenient and affordable Gucci bag repairs by Australia’s best craftsmen, with free shipping to your door. This case study outlines how we recently repaired a customer’s Gucci bag.
The bag
The straps on this Gucci Monogram Tote were cracked and splitting, especially around the bases and the top of the straps where carried. When the customer reached out to us for a free diagnosis/quote, we offered to replace the straps with an entirely new pair that we crafted based on the design of the original straps.
Leather strap replacement
We carefully removed the original straps and selected a fresh piece of premium leather as similar as possible to the original straps. We then used the original straps as templates to craft new straps. This comprised two layers of leather that we stitched together with a contrasting white thread. We then finished the sides of the straps with a wax that helps to seal the otherwise exposed edges of the leather and used an edge paint to colour the edges black. We finally stitched the new straps into place on the body of the bag.

This Louis Vuitton Neverfull had seen better days, with the leather binding and strapping visibly worn and the monogram canvas around the bottom corners worn through. We replaced the leather parts and altered the bag to remove the damaged canvas.
