This leather lining on this Celine Medium Triomphe shoulder bag has become discoloured with dye transfer stains. We cleaned and conditioned the lining before custom mixing a colour based on the existing and using that to recolour / refinish the leather.
The closure on this Chanel handbag had broken, with one of the pieces that locks into the other having snapped off. We replaced the broken hardware with a magnetic press stud.
This Prada tote had the edging around it top rim worn away, with the lining splitting from the body of the bag. We re-edged/re-waxed the affected area to seal up the lining and conceal the seam.
This vintage leather briefcase had been used for decades but the leather on the handles had worn off, leaving a rusty metallic handle visible. We re-covered the handles with new leather.
The plastic tubing on this Coach tote handbag had broken, leaving the handles essentially unusable and at risk of tearing. We replaced the existing handles with entirely new ones.
This Michael Kors Voyager tote bag had a loose strap that had come apart, making the bag unusable. We repaired the damaged strap and reinforced all four of the straps to help prevent this from happening again.
This Louis Vuitton Pochette Métis handbag’s latch had come apart entirely. We repaired the original latch, replacing the pins previously used to hold all the pieces with a pair of rivets that fixed everything into place.
The zipper on this Louis Vuitton messenger bag had started coming away from the bag. We removed the damaged zipper and replaced it with an entirely new one, retaining the original Louis Vuitton zipper pull.
This Lancel hobo bag had a clear oil-like sheen visible throughout the leather exterior of the bag. We cleaned and conditioned the leather before treating the leather with a degreaser to remove the sheen.
This Chanel Classic handbag had become scuffed and discoloured over time. We performed a full restoration, cleaning and conditioning the leather throughout the bag before recolouring and refinishing the leather.
