The leather on this bag was sagging and stained. We reconstructed the bag with fresh leather panels in the same colour.
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.
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.
