SoleHeeled offers convenient and affordable Valentino bag repairs by Australia’s best craftsmen, with free shipping to your door. This case study outlines how we recently repaired a customer’s Valentino bag.
The bag
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. When the customer reached out to us for a free diagnosis/quote, we offered to replace the missing rockstud with an entirely new one.
Rockstud replacement
We stock a variety of studs, both functional and decorative, and both generic and based on the designs of particular brands — this includes Valentino’s signature rockstuds, which we stock in a variety of sizes and colours. We were able to replace the missing rockstud by simply selecting a matching replacement piece and setting it into place with a special stud setting tool.

The twist lock on this Chanel bag was broken, leaving the bag unable to be closed and at risk of opening up during wear. We repaired the twist lock by re-attaching the loose part.
