The heel blocks on these Sophia Webster Rosalind sandals were just a little too tall for the wearer. We shortened the heels for the customer, making the shoes much more comfortable.
The zipper on this Gucci handbag had broken, with missing teeth preventing the bag from being zipped shut. We removed the old zipper and replaced it with an entirely new one, retaining the original zipper pull.
These Church’s Oslo derby shoes were brand new with unprotected leather soles that were therefore susceptible to quickly wearing down with everyday wear. We protected the soles by installing a pair of thin rubber sole protectors.
The piping around the bottom corners of this Prada Galleria tote handbag had torn right off, leaving the metallic spring interior exposed. We repaired the piping, using thin leather patches to seal up the tears and reinforce the piping.
The piping on one of the corners of this Gucci Soho disco bag was torn, with the outer layer of leather worn through. We repaired and reinforced the piping by covering the damaged area with a thin leather patch.
These Bally Janelle loafers were brand new with unprotected leather soles. We installed a pair thin rubber half soles to protect the leather soles and offer greater traction to the wearer.
The wax edging on the leather straps of this DKNY Bryant tote bag had come apart, leaving the leather dangerously exposed to irreversible damage with continued use. We carefully re-waxed the edging on the straps.
The soles on these Ariat Mendocino mules were disintegrating and breaking apart from the uppers. We resoled the shoes with a new pair of custom-made rubber soles.
The black leather around the toes on one of the shoes in this pair of Chanel ballet flats had been heavily scuffed and torn, leaving a layer of leather handing by a few threads. We repaired the torn leather before polishing the leather to buff out the imperfections that remained visible.
These Gucci Marmont leather sandals were starting to look a little worn, with the leather dirty and scuffed — particularly around the toes and heel blocks. We cleaned and conditioned the leather throughout the shoes to remove any excess dirt before touching up the remaining discolouration.
