Showcasing our shoe and handbag repairs with before and after photos
The red soles on these Christian Louboutin flats had become worn and discoloured, especially around the front and the heels of the wearer’s feet. We repaired the original leather red bottoms and protected them with thin rubber soles added over the top.
The polished pebble leather lining the interior pocket on this Coach Charlie Carryall handbag was peeling and had become very soft, making the zipper on the pocket difficult to use. We replace the inner lining along with all the interior pockets.
The leather soles on these Jimmy Choo pumps had come apart, detaching from the uppers at the toes. We repaired the leather soles, reattaching them to the uppers.
This Prada Saffiano leather wallet needed the closure repaired and its colour changed from blue to black. We repaired the closure, replacing a piece of hardware, as well as cleaned and conditioned the saffiano leather before recolouring / refinishing it to black.
These RM Williams Comfort Craftsman boots were stained due to spilled butter. We cleaned the suede and treated it with a stain remover, effectively getting rid of the stain.
The canvas strap on this Valentino Garavani belt bag had torn away. We repaired the strap, carefully re-securing it to the body of the bag.
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.
