Showcasing our shoe and handbag repairs with before and after photos
The lambskin leather on this Proenza Schouler PS1 crossbody bag had lost much of its colour. We cleaned and conditioned the leather throughout the exterior of the bag before custom mixing a colour based on the existing and using that to recolour / refinish the discoloured leather.
These Christian Louboutin Culturella pumps had severely damaged leather around one of the heel blocks and just above it. We re-wrapped the damaged heel blocks with new leather and then used a leather filler to seal up and smooth out the torn leather on the body of the shoes.
These RM Williams Craftsman boots had the toes of the right boot chewed by a family pet and thus heavily damaged. We used a leather filler and some careful leather polishing and recolouring to repair the gouged leather.
These Gucci Jordaan loafers showed substantial wear on the original leather soles, demonstrating the importance of protecting them. We added a pair of thin protective soles over the top of the leather soles, for greater grip and longevity.
The vachetta leather strap on this Louis Vuitton hobo handbag were starting to crack and tear. We replaced the leather shoulder strap with an entirely new one that we crafted by hand to match the original strap.
The soles and heels on these RM Williams Adelaide boots had worn down and needed replacing. We replaced the heels with new RM Williams rubber heels and performed a half re-sole, adding a new pair of leather half soles.
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.
