This vintage Ralph Lauren shoulder bag was in almost perfect shape for its age, but the gold badge on the front was scratched and discoloured. We polished and re-plated the badge, to buff out the scratches and restore its colour.
This Chanel bag was in good condition, but the sides had lost their shape and become distorted. We firmed up the inner lining to restore the bag's original form and structure.
This YSL Muse bag was in serious need of a refurbishment, with the white patent leather yellowing and the softening of the leather around the bag causing it to lose its shape. We reshaped the bag before cleaning, conditioning and then recolouring the patent leather to black.
This Fendi Peekaboo bag was looking a little worn, with the hardware discoloured and the leather’s patina producing an inconsistent colour around the bag. We cleaned, conditioned and custom recoloured the exterior leather as well as polished and re-plated the gold hardware.
This Louis Vuitton GM Neverfull tote bag was well looked after, but the leather trim around the top of the bag was heavily worn and creasing. We removed the original binding and replaced it with an entirely new leather binding.
This Coach Willow Tote bag was looking quite worn, with stains and abrasion at several points of friction around the bag leaving the leather heavily discoloured. We cleaned and conditioned the leather throughout the exterior of bag before recolouring the discoloured leather to black
This Louis Vuitton Deauville bag was in great shape around the exterior, but the inner lining was entirely disintegrating, leaving the bag unusable. We replaced the inner lining with an entirely new lining custom made from a premium, durable leather.
This Chloé Mini Tess Day bag had seen better days, as the leather was scuffed and discoloured and the main latch heavily scratched and faded. We cleaned, conditioned and custom recoloured the leather as well as re-plated the hardware.
This Louis Vuitton Pallas BB bag originally had two strap connector rings, though one was missing and the remaining one was broken. We replaced both rings.
The canvas around the front pocket of this Isabel Marant shoulder bag had torn beside on the seams, leaving the pocket unusable and the canvas prone to further damage. We used a thin patch and some stitching to seal up the tear and reinforce the canvas against further damage.
