This Gucci Soho leather disco bag had lost its shape over a number of years, with the leather sagging around the top. We reshaped the leather, restoring the bag’s original shape using a series of leather pads around the interior of the bag.
These Valentino flats, no less elegant without any signature rockstuds, needed protection around the leather soles, which had been worn merely a few times but already showing noticeable signs of wear. We added a pair of thin protective soles over the top of the original leather soles.
The piping on one of the corners around the bottom of this Louis Vuitton handbag had worn through, showing the plastic interior piping and leaving the remainder of the piping dangerously exposed to further tearing. We repaired the piping, using a leather filler and a leather patch.
These Barker Hopper Chelsea boots had leather soles and quarter-rubber heels that were in need of replacement. We perform a full re-sole, replacing the heels and soles along the entire length of each boot with a fresh pair of quarter-rubber heels and single-piece leather soles.
This Oroton Metier Worker Tote handbag had torn on one of the corners around the bottom of the bag. We repaired the torn corner by installing an interior patch to seal up the tear and reinforce the area.
These Gucci Jordaan loafers had been previously colour restored with materials that left the leather looking dull and discoloured where the added colour had rubbed off over time. We stripped the leather uppers of their colour, and then cleaned and conditioned the leather before recolouring / refinishing it.
This Louis Vuitton handbag had a pair of straps that served as handles but it lacked a shoulder strap allowing the bag to be carried on the shoulder. We created and installed a new, length-adjustable shoulder strap for the bag.
The soles on these Church’s Burwood Oxford brogues were looking aged and the heel caps in particular were worn and starting to tear. We performed a full re-sole, replacing the heels and soles along the entire length of each shoe with new rubber heels and single-piece leather soles.
These RM Williams Craftsman boots had been mauled by a puppy, leaving the leather around the toes chewed right off. We repair the mauled leather, smoothing out and then filling the gaps before recolouring / refinishing the leather.
These Christian Louboutin Dandelion loafers had been worn only once, but the unprotected red bottoms were likely to quickly lose their colour and eventually wear down. We protected the res soles with a pair of thin protective rubber soles over the top.
