The piping on one of the corners around the bottom of this Louis Vuitton handbag had worn through, showing the plastic interior piping and leaving the remainder of the piping dangerously exposed to further tearing. We repaired the piping, using a leather filler and a leather patch.
This Oroton Metier Worker Tote handbag had torn on one of the corners around the bottom of the bag. We repaired the torn corner by installing an interior patch to seal up the tear and reinforce the area.
This Louis Vuitton handbag had a pair of straps that served as handles but it lacked a shoulder strap allowing the bag to be carried on the shoulder. We created and installed a new, length-adjustable shoulder strap for the bag.
This Chanel Jumbo Classic White Caviar leather handbag heavily discoloured, with a shade of yellow throughout. We cleaned and conditioned the leather throughout the exterior of the bag before recolouring / refinishing it.
A leather tab at the end of on one of this Louis Vuitton tote’s straps had torn right off. We replaced the torn leather tab with an entirely new one custom created by hand from a new piece of leather.
The leather panel around the bottom of this Burberry camera bag had lost some of its colour around the corners. We cleaned and conditioned the discoloured leather before recolouring / refinishing it.
The vachetta leather trim on this Louis Vuitton Neverfull handbag was cracking and tearing, causing an otherwise elegant bag seem beyond its best days.. We replaced the leather trim with an entirely new one.
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.
