The straps on this Chanel Classic Quilted Jumbo Backpack were no longer sitting correctly, due to the leather loop to which they were attached having become worn and soft. We replaced the leather loop with a new, stronger one.
This Gucci tote had become badly worn on the leather corners around the base of the bag, with some light surface tearing and discolouration. We cleaned and conditioned the canvas and leather before recolouring and restoring the leather.
This Hermès Birkin bag was losing the wax edging along the top rim of the bag, which had begun to disintegrate. We carefully removed the old edging and re-edged/re-waxed these parts of the bag.
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.
