These R.M. Williams Comfort Craftsman boots were made with full leather soles. We added a pair of protective, non-slip rubber soles over the top of the leather for added grip and longevity.
The leather uppers on these Brando boots had become worn and discoloured over time. We cleaned, conditioned and then recolour/refinish the leather uppers to restore them.
This leather lining on this Celine Medium Triomphe shoulder bag has become discoloured with dye transfer stains. We cleaned and conditioned the lining before custom mixing a colour based on the existing and using that to recolour / refinish the leather.
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.
