The strap on this Guess backpack had begun to tear and split apart. We repaired the straps by re-glueing the loose leather and shortening the straps slightly.
One of the strap clips on this Marc Jacobs Snapshot camera bag was broken. We replaced the two clips on either end of the bag’s shoulder strap with entirely new clips.
The zipper on this Wanderers Travel Co backpack had become unusable, with the runner detached and the zipper teeth missing and damaged. We repaired the zipper by installing a ‘runner stop’.
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.
