The suede lining on the inside of this Gucci messenger bag had torn off and worn through in several areas, leaving it beyond repair. We replaced the lining with a new custom leather lining.
This Louis Vuitton Cabas tote bag was almost entirely in good shape, except that the bag had lost its actual shape due to the softening of the bag’s canvas and lining — which tends to happen with time. We worked on firming up the bag’s interior in order to restore it shape.
This vintage Chanel bag had no lining, with the bag’s original lining having been removed for an unknown reason. We re-created the missing lining, crafting it from scratch with fresh leather based on the original Chanel design.
This Louis Vuitton Hampstead shoulder bag was looking great, with the vachetta leather developing a nice patina. But the leather corners around the bottom of the bag, where it tends to brush up against the ground and other objects, were worn and discoloured. We restored the leather by recolouring / refinishing it.
The zipper on this Mulberry bag had broken, with the fabric surrounding the zipper’s teeth having torn. We replaced the old zipper with an entirely new, high-quality YKK zipper to which we were able to attach the original Mulberry zipper runner / slider and pull.
The saffiano leather on this A.P.C. Half Moon cross-body bad had become heavily scuffed and discoloured, leaving the bag looking a little shabby. We cleaned and conditioned the leather throughout the bag before custom mixing a colour based on the existing and using that to recolour / refinish the leather.
This Hermès Garden Party tote bag was in need of a thorough clean and colour restoration, due to the accumulation of dirt and marks on the canvas and the loss of colour on the corners of the leather base. We cleaned and conditioned the canvas and leather before recolouring / refinishing the discoloured leather.
The leather woven through the chain strap on this Chanel bag was heavily worn, with discolouration and tears in several areas. We replaced the woven leather with an entirely fresh, stronger Kangaroo leather in a matching colour.
The zipper on this Gucci handbag had broken, with missing teeth preventing the bag from being zipped shut. We removed the old zipper and replaced it with an entirely new one, retaining the original zipper pull.
The piping around the bottom corners of this Prada Galleria tote handbag had torn right off, leaving the metallic spring interior exposed. We repaired the piping, using thin leather patches to seal up the tears and reinforce the piping.
