These Valentino Rockstud pumps had fallen victim to a naughty dog, which had chewed through much of the leather around the back of one of the shoes. We restored the shoes by replacing the damaged leather along the insoles and around the footbeds and heel blocks.
One end of the strap on this Valentino Rockstud Calfskin Tote bag had torn right off, leaving the bag unwearable. We repaired and reattached the torn strap.
One of the leather straps on these Valentino shoes had torn, leaving the shoe unwearable. We repaired the strap, rejoining the torn leather, with a thin leather patch underneath for reinforcement.
These Valentino Patent Rockstud Pumps were looking worn, with the patent leather around the heel blocks torn and peeling, and the leather soles wearing down quickly with no protection. We re-covered the heel blocks with new leather, repaired the leather soles, and installed a pair of protective rubber soles.
These Valentino Rockstud pumps were in need of repair, with soles and heels showing signs of wear. We replaced the heel tips and repaired the heel blocks as well as installed a pair of thin rubber sole protectors for improved longevity and traction.
The unique elegance of this Valentino Garavani Rockstud tote is defined almost entirely by the rockstuds (pyramid shaped studs) lining the sides of the bag and its straps. But as sometimes happens on Valentinos shoes and bags, one of the rockstuds on this bag had come apart and gone missing. We replaced the missing rockstud with an entirely new one.
The heels and soles on these Valentino Rockstud Ankle Strap Pumps were heavily worn, with the heel tips missing, the leather around the heel blocks torn and hanging loose, and the soles worn right through at the toes. We replaced the heel tips, repaired the heel blocks and repaired the soles before installing a pair of rubber sole protectors.
These Valentino Rockstud Ankle Strap sandals were looking great, except for one of the heel blocks, which had been chewed up by a puppy. We re-covered the heel blocks with entirely new leather and replaced the rubber heel caps.
This Valentino Daphne studded leather handbag became essentially unusable when the strap connector (aka strap mount) tore, leaving the strap with nothing to hook into. We crafted a replacement strap connector from a fresh piece of leather and stitched that into place, along the original stitching lines.
The canvas strap on this Valentino Garavani belt bag had torn away. We repaired the strap, carefully re-securing it to the body of the bag.
