The lambskin leather on this Proenza Schouler PS1 crossbody bag had lost much of its colour. We cleaned and conditioned the leather throughout the exterior of the bag before custom mixing a colour based on the existing and using that to recolour / refinish the discoloured leather.
The vachetta leather strap on this Louis Vuitton hobo handbag were starting to crack and tear. We replaced the leather shoulder strap with an entirely new one that we crafted by hand to match the original strap.
This Gucci Soho leather disco bag had lost its shape over a number of years, with the leather sagging around the top. We reshaped the leather, restoring the bag’s original shape using a series of leather pads around the interior of the bag.
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.
