SoleHeeled offers convenient and affordable Michael Kors bag repairs by Australia’s best craftsmen, with free shipping to your door. This case study outlines how we recently repaired a customer’s Michael Kors bag.
The bag
This Michael Kors bag was looking tired, with the exterior leather visibly worn and extensively discoloured. When the customer reached out for a free diagnosis/quote, we offered to clean and condition the leather throughout the exterior of the bag before recolouring / refinishing the leather to black.
Colour restoration
Before recolouring leather, it is crucial to thoroughly clean and prepare it; we otherwise risk having the new colour fade or rub off the leather during wear. We do this by thoroughly cleaning the leather, to remove any accumulated surface dirt / impurities, and then conditioning the leather, to nourish it and ensure it’s ready for the new colour. Once the leather is dry, we applied multiple coats of a specialist black pigment, allowing the leather to dry in between each coat to prevent cracking or clumping and ensure an even, smooth finish. We then used a finishing agent to seal in the new colour.
