These heel tips on these Valentino Garavani stilettos had come off and the leather around the heel blocks had become severely damaged. We repaired the heels, glueing down and touching up the discoloured leather before replacing the heel tips.
The closure on this Chanel handbag had broken, with one of the pieces that locks into the other having snapped off. We replaced the broken hardware with a magnetic press stud.
This Prada tote had the edging around it top rim worn away, with the lining splitting from the body of the bag. We re-edged/re-waxed the affected area to seal up the lining and conceal the seam.
This vintage leather briefcase had been used for decades but the leather on the handles had worn off, leaving a rusty metallic handle visible. We re-covered the handles with new leather.
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.
