This Valentino Daphne studded leather handbag became essentially unusable when the strap connector (aka strap mount) tore, leaving the strap with nothing to hook into. We crafted a replacement strap connector from a fresh piece of leather and stitched that into place, along the original stitching lines.
The epi leather on this Louis Vuitton Twist bag was torn at the seam around the bottom of the bag. We repaired the torn leather, installing an interior leather patch which we used to seal up the tear and reinforce the area.
This Louis Vuitton Alma BB handbag was relatively new but suffered a serious burn from a candle, damaging the vachetta leather around the bottom of the bag. We replaced this vachetta leather with entirely new leather.
The polished pebble leather lining the interior pocket on this Coach Charlie Carryall handbag was peeling and had become very soft, making the zipper on the pocket difficult to use. We replace the inner lining along with all the interior pockets.
The lambskin leather on this Proenza Schouler PS1 crossbody bag had lost much of its colour. We cleaned and conditioned the leather throughout the exterior of the bag before custom mixing a colour based on the existing and using that to recolour / refinish the discoloured leather.
The vachetta leather strap on this Louis Vuitton hobo handbag were starting to crack and tear. We replaced the leather shoulder strap with an entirely new one that we crafted by hand to match the original strap.
This Gucci Soho leather disco bag had lost its shape over a number of years, with the leather sagging around the top. We reshaped the leather, restoring the bag’s original shape using a series of leather pads around the interior of the bag.
The piping on one of the corners around the bottom of this Louis Vuitton handbag had worn through, showing the plastic interior piping and leaving the remainder of the piping dangerously exposed to further tearing. We repaired the piping, using a leather filler and a leather patch.
This Oroton Metier Worker Tote handbag had torn on one of the corners around the bottom of the bag. We repaired the torn corner by installing an interior patch to seal up the tear and reinforce the area.
This Louis Vuitton handbag had a pair of straps that served as handles but it lacked a shoulder strap allowing the bag to be carried on the shoulder. We created and installed a new, length-adjustable shoulder strap for the bag.
