This canvas and vachetta leather around the exterior of this Louis Vuitton Keepall was heavily worn, with the leather in particular dry and cracking and one of the handles torn. We replaced all of the vachetta leather throughout the bag with custom made parts.
This Christian Dior bag’s exterior was significantly discoloured by not only ingrained dirt along the stitch lines but also gradual removal of the bag’s colour through abrasion of the leather’s outer layers. We cleaned and conditioned the leather before refinishing it to restore its original colour.
This Chanel messenger bag was in need of a refresh, with the gold hardware looking discoloured, the piping and chain strap worn and the inner lining stained. We replaced the piping and leather chain strap, performed some leather restoration work and re-plated the hardware.
This vintage Gucci bag had become effectively unusable, with one of the strap mounts missing, the piping torn, and the inner lining disintegrating. We replaced the strap mount, repaired the piping and replaced the inner lining.
The straps on this Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Petit Bucket bag were worn and discoloured, especially at the top of the handles where carried. We installed a new pair of straps made from a fresh vachetta leather and based on the design of the original straps.
This Bottega Veneta Arco handbag was in great shape, except for a couple of loose stitches along the top flap. We repaired the stitching, replacing the loose stitching with new thread through the original holes.
The leather binding around the sides of this Louis Vuitton Popincourt bag were heavily worn and dry — as is common when worn vachetta leather is not conditioned to keep it nourished and healthy. We replaced the leather binding on both sides of the bag with new, tanned vachetta leather.
The leather piping on this Gucci Disco bag had torn through on multiple corners around the bag. We replaced the piping with entirely new leather.
This Chanel Wild Stitch Flap bag was looking a little tired after years of continuous wear, leaving an otherwise exquisite bag looking like a mere shadow of its former self. We cleaned and conditioned the leather throughout the bag before recolouring / refinishing the leather to an entirely new colour of the customer’s choosing.
This Gucci Monogram GG Supreme Tote was well looked after, but starting to show clear signs of wear and tear, especially around the corners, top binding and handles. We protected the corners, reattached the torn handle, and replaced the top binding.
