SoleHeeled offers convenient and affordable Gucci belt restorations by Australia’s best craftsmen, with free shipping to your door. This case study outlines how we recently restored a customer’s Gucci belt.
The belt
The leather strap on this Gucci belt was torn around the notches, leaving the belt unwearable. When the customer reached out to us for a free diagnosis/quote, we offered to replace the leather strap with an entirely new one.
Leather replacement
Unfortunately, the sort of tear on the leather part of this belt’s strap cannot be repaired — even if sealed up, it would remain a point of weakness in a part of the belt that regularly comes under a lot of pressure during wear. The best option here was to replace the leather part of the strap with an entirely new one. This involved using the original part as a template, selecting suitable replacement leather, and then crafting the new strap — being made from two pieces of leather, stitched and waxed along the edges, and notched as it was originally.
