This Louis Vuitton Turenne PM handbag had a serious tear on the zipper, making it unusable with a stuck slider. We replaced the zipper with an entirely new one.

The main badge on this Prada saffiano bag had faded, losing its original gold plating. We replated the hardware to restore its original gold colour.
This Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag was a little dirty on the inside and all four ends of the bag’s side straps had torn off. We cleaned the bag’s interior and repaired the side straps, rejoining them at the points where they had torn.
This vintage Bally handbag was decades old and in reasonably good shape, except that the leather exterior was heavily scuffed and the main hardware had lost its colour. We re-plated the hardware as well as cleaned, conditioned and recoloured / refinished the leather.
The unique elegance of this Valentino Garavani Rockstud tote is defined almost entirely by the rockstuds (pyramid shaped studs) lining the sides of the bag and its straps. But as sometimes happens on Valentinos shoes and bags, one of the rockstuds on this bag had come apart and gone missing. We replaced the missing rockstud with an entirely new one.
This Fendi bag was made with a shoulder strap that had gone missing, leaving the bag with no way of being carried. We replaced the missing shoulder strap with an entirely new leather strap that we custom crafted for the bag.
The shoulder strap and zipper pull on this Marc Jacobs bag had become worn around the edges, where the wax protecting the sides of the leather had pulled away, leaving the underlying leather exposed. We repaired the strap and zipper pull by glueing the loose leather back together and then re-waxing the edges.
This Chloé Faye shoulder bag was in decent shape, except that the leather tab to which the magnetic snap closure was attached had fallen off the bag due to the stitches holding it in place having come apart. We carefully re-stitched the leather tab back into place.
This Prada Galleria tote was thoroughly loved over the years, with the white saffiano leather heavily discoloured and the wax around the top of the bag and the edges of the shoulder strap worn right off. We cleaned and conditioned the leather throughout the bag before changing the colour to black and then re-waxing the worn edging.
The branding plate on this Marc Jacobs shoulder bag had most of the screws holding it in place missing, leaving it precariously hanging on to the bag and at risk of falling right off. We repaired the plate by replacing the screws holding it in place.
