Showcasing our shoe and handbag repairs with before and after photos
The rubber heels on these Loake Aldwych shoes had been worn down, especially at the end of one of the heel caps, where the leather heel blocks were starting to be worn into. We repaired the worn heel blocks and re-heeled the shoes with entirely new, premium rubber heel caps.
The hardware connecting the strap to the body of this iconic Christian Dior Saddle bag had broken off, with the screws holding its pieces together having fallen and gone missing. We repaired the hardware, replacing the missing screws.
The heel caps and insoles on these Prada studded heels were worn, leaving the shoes imbalanced, difficult to walk in, and dangerously close to having the leather heel blocks irreversibly damaged. We re-heeled the shoes and replaced the insoles.
The soles and heels on these Christian Louboutin Greggo dress shoes were worn — not too significantly, but enough for the leather on the soles and heels to have lost its colour, leaving the shoes looking far from fresh. We installed a pair of rubber heel and sole protectors in a glossy red finish that helps to sustain the shoes’ original design.
The soles and heels on these Church’s suede monks were quite worn, leaving the shoes sitting unevenly and dangerously close to wearing into the heel blocks and the Goodyear welt. We performed a full resole, replacing the heels and soles along the entire length of each shoe.
The heel blocks on these Christian Louboutin Loubi Queen leather sandals had been severely scratched and torn, leaving the shoes looking old and worn. We replaced the heel tips and the heel blocks, covering / wrapping them with entirely new leather.
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.
