Hardware
These Manolo Blahnik Lurum shoes were a little worse for wear after a wedding, with the leather soles visibly worn, the satin uppers stained, and one of the crystals was missing. We clean and re-dyed the satin to black, we replaced the missing crystal, and we repaired and protected the soles.
This Hermès Constance long wallet was in need of a refresh, with the hardware scratched and the leather stained and lacking its original lustre. We polished and re-plated the hardware and then changed the colour of the leather to a midnight blue.
This Chanel messenger bag was in need of a refresh, with the gold hardware looking discoloured, the piping and chain strap worn and the inner lining stained. We replaced the piping and leather chain strap, performed some leather restoration work and re-plated the hardware.
These Ferragamo Varina Ballet flats were well-looked after, but the gold hardware on the Vara bows had become heavily tarnished and discoloured. We polished and replated the hardware.
The strap connector hardware on this Dior Saddle bag had broken, leaving the strap loose. We replaced the hardware with entirely new Dior parts.
The lace tabs on these Air Jordan sneakers had come loose, leaving the shoes unwearable. We re-secured the original lace tabs to the uppers.
This vintage Ralph Lauren shoulder bag was in almost perfect shape for its age, but the gold badge on the front was scratched and discoloured. We polished and re-plated the badge, to buff out the scratches and restore its colour.
These Salvatore Ferragamo Gancini Moccasin shoes were in good shape, but the hardware on one shoe had broken, leaving the strap loose. We repaired the broken hardware and secured the strap in place.
This Fendi Peekaboo bag was looking a little worn, with the hardware discoloured and the leather’s patina producing an inconsistent colour around the bag. We cleaned, conditioned and custom recoloured the exterior leather as well as polished and re-plated the gold hardware.
This Gucci Double G leather belt was in great shape, but the gold belt buckle had tarnished slightly over time. We polished the buckle, to get it looking fresher.
