A leather loop at one end of the handle on this Yves Saint Laurent Large College Bag was torn, leaving the handle unusable. We repaired and reinforced the leather loop.
This Prada Promenade leather satchel bag was structurally in great shape, but as often happens the originally white patent leather had gradually yellowed as a result of everyday wear. We updated the bag by recolouring the patent leather to black.
The leather on this bag was sagging and stained. We reconstructed the bag with fresh leather panels in the same colour.
The denim exterior of this backpack was faded, with considerable discolouration due to continued wear especially around the straps and back. We cleaned and conditioned throughout the bag before re-dyeing the denim to get the backpack looking new again.
The side straps were entirely missing on this Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote. We crafted a new pair of vachetta leather side straps based on the design of the original side straps.
This Louis Vuitton Deauville handbag is a supremely well made bag, designed to last a lifetime or more when looked after. However, the leather loops connecting the handles to the body of this bag were heavily worn and torn, causing one of the handles to come apart. We replaced the leather loops with entirely new, reinforced leather.
Much of this Chloé Nile Bracelet bag’s elegance comes from its brass-finished bracelet handle, but the handle had broken right off in this case. We repaired the handle, re-securing it to the bag.
This Louis Vuitton bag arrived at our workshop without its original crossbody strap attached and the customer keen to have a new one installed. We crafted and installed an entirely new shoulder strap based on the original strap’s design.
The vachetta leather shoulder strap on this Louis Vuitton Blois bag was cracking around those areas where it bends, leaving it close to tearing apart. We replaced the strap with an entirely new one custom made for the bag.
While Chanel shoulder bags typically come with a signature chain strap with leather woven through its links, this one was made with a quilted leather strap — which the customer was not particularly fond of. We replaced the leather strap with a Chanel-style chain strap.
