Showcasing our shoe and handbag repairs with before and after photos
These Givenchy Urban Street sneakers had held up well structurally over about a year of use but had nevertheless become quite dirty and and discoloured. We cleaned, conditioned and recoloured the leather uppers, cleaned the sole edges, and replaced the shoe laces.
The plastic tubing on this Coach tote handbag had broken, leaving the handles essentially unusable and at risk of tearing. We replaced the existing handles with entirely new ones.
This Michael Kors Voyager tote bag had a loose strap that had come apart, making the bag unusable. We repaired the damaged strap and reinforced all four of the straps to help prevent this from happening again.
The soles on these RM Williams boots had broken off around the toes. We repaired the soles by replacing the ‘toe pieces’ — or the tips of the soles, around the toes.
These Christian Louboutin So Kate shoes had heavily worn soles and heel tips and torn heel blocks. We replaced the heel tips, re-covered the heel blocks with new leather and installed a pair of thin red protective rubber soles made especially for Louboutins.
This Louis Vuitton Pochette Métis handbag’s latch had come apart entirely. We repaired the original latch, replacing the pins previously used to hold all the pieces with a pair of rivets that fixed everything into place.
The zipper on this Louis Vuitton messenger bag had started coming away from the bag. We removed the damaged zipper and replaced it with an entirely new one, retaining the original Louis Vuitton zipper pull.
These Coach heels had their heel blocks severely scratched. We restored the heels by buffing out the scratches as much as possible before recolouring the heel blocks.
This Lancel hobo bag had a clear oil-like sheen visible throughout the leather exterior of the bag. We cleaned and conditioned the leather before treating the leather with a degreaser to remove the sheen.
This Chanel Classic handbag had become scuffed and discoloured over time. We performed a full restoration, cleaning and conditioning the leather throughout the bag before recolouring and refinishing the leather.
