Showcasing our shoe and handbag repairs with before and after photos
This Valentino Daphne studded leather handbag became essentially unusable when the strap connector (aka strap mount) tore, leaving the strap with nothing to hook into. We crafted a replacement strap connector from a fresh piece of leather and stitched that into place, along the original stitching lines.
The colour of the leather on these Chanel Lambskin Espadrilles had gradually faded away, leaving the leather looking old and tired, and the insoles were worn. We replaced the insoles as well as cleaned and conditioned the shoes before re-dyeing them to a navy blue colour.
One of the pull tugs on these Dior B23 Low-Top Sneakers had torn off, unable to carry to pressure of continually being pulled on while the shoes were being worn. We were able to repair the damaged pull tug.
These Dior Baby-D Mary Jane pumps were showing signs of wear, with the leather soles, heel counters and insoles heavily worn. We re-lined the heel counters, replaced the insoles and repaired the soles, adding a pair of thin protective rubber soles over the top of the existing.
These Fendi Reversible Ff Motif Tongue sneakers were discoloured due to the accumulated of dirt and the leather beginning to peel. We cleaned the shoes, replaced the laces and restored the peeling leather.
The leather on these Red Wing 1178 boots was starting to look a little unhealthy while the soles and heels were heavily worn. We cleaned, conditioned and polished the leather uppers before performing a full resole, replacing the heels and soles with entirely new ones.
These Dior J’Adior slingback pumps were suffering from heavily worn leather soles and fraying fabric, especially at the toes. We repaired the fraying fabric as well as the soles, adding a pair of protective rubber soles over the top of the existing.
The rubber soles on these Blundstone boots had begun to disintegrate, beyond repair. We replaced the soles with a pair of new Vibram rubber soles.
The epi leather on this Louis Vuitton Twist bag was torn at the seam around the bottom of the bag. We repaired the torn leather, installing an interior leather patch which we used to seal up the tear and reinforce the area.
These Chippewa Service boots were built to withstand the most rugged terrains and work, but over years the original rubber soles and heels had worn down, needing replacement. We performed a full resole, replacing the heels and soles with entirely new ones.
