Showcasing our shoe and handbag repairs with before and after photos
This Givenchy Antigona had lost its shape over time, with the bag slouching and simply falling over when left on a flat surface. We restored the bag’s original shape by specially treating the leather and reinforcing specific parts of the bag’s interior.
This Mulberry handbag had become mouldy while stored in a wardrobe over a number of years. We cleaned and conditioned the leather, treated it for mould and then waterproofed the bag for ongoing protection.
The zipper on this Kate Spade tote had torn right off the material attaching it to the bag. We custom prepared a new brass zipper of a length and type matching the original and stitched it onto the bag.
The bottom and bottom corners of this 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli Satchel bore the brunt of daily use, leaving the leather looking old and discoloured. We cleaned and conditioned the leather before re-dyeing those parts of the bag affected by the loss of colour.
These Christian Louboutin were worn only once, but the heels and leather soles had already become visibly damaged. We cleaned the heels, replace the heel tips and repaired the soles with the addition of protective rubber soles for added longevity.
The shoulder strap on this Furla Piper Top Handle Tote bag had come loose as the leather loop and gold ring to which it was attached to the body of the bag had torn off and gone missing. We re-created the missing leather loop and replaced the missing hardware.
The once firm and secure waxing on the edges of the straps of this classic Loewe hobo bag had started to crack and tear. We fully restored the existing straps by cleaning and conditioning them and then re-edging / re-waxing them.
These Wittner boots were manufactured with stiletto heels that were pleasing to the eye but a little difficult to walk in. Having regard to the boot’s structure and the need for comfort and longevity, we replaced the stiletto heels with a thicker pair.
This Status Anxiety tote bag lacked a firm closure and failed to keep the owner’s items secure. We installed two sets of magnetic snap closures — one on each side of the bag, to allow the bag to be easily closed and retain its flexibility and profile.
This Alexander McQueen tote had accumulated numerous scratches and scuffs on the exterior of this bag and the interior suede that had become dirty and discoloured. We cleaned and conditioned the interior and exterior of the bag before performing a full leather colour restoration.
