Showcasing our shoe and handbag repairs with before and after photos
These Gucci classic loafers were in desperate needs of rejuvenation, with the soles and heels worn flat, the leather torn right through on one side, and the leather insoles so brittle they were starting to crack and tear. We performed a full resole, repaired the tear, and replaced the leather insoles.
This Louis Vuitton Pallas BB bag originally had two strap connector rings, though one was missing and the remaining one was broken. We replaced both rings.
The canvas around the front pocket of this Isabel Marant shoulder bag had torn beside on the seams, leaving the pocket unusable and the canvas prone to further damage. We used a thin patch and some stitching to seal up the tear and reinforce the canvas against further damage.
One of the lace tabs on these Nike Dunk Low Panda shoes had been chewed on by a dog, leaving the leather heavily torn. We repaired the leather, using a thin leather patch to seal up the tear and reinforce the leather against further damage.
The leather handles and shoulder strap on this Givenchy Antigona bag were sticky and disintegrating. We replaced the handles and the strap with entirely new custom-made ones.
These Christian Dior J’Adior Slingback Pumps were brand new, with the original leather soles having hardly touched the ground. We installed protective soles to prevent irreversible wear to the original leather soles as well as improve grip for the wearer.
These R.M. Williams Craftsman boots were still looking good after much wear, but in need of some general restoration work and the elastic, soles and heels were in need of replacement. We performed a full nailed resole, replaced the elastics and performed leather restoration work.
This Louis Vuitton Ellipse bag was covered in mould, particularly on the vachetta leather and around the inner lining. We cleaned and conditioned throughout the interior and exterior of the bag, and specially treated the bag to both remove the mould and protect against it going forward.
These Christian Dior J’Adior slingback pumps were in good shape, but after being worn all day at a wedding, dirty and stained on the upper fabric. We cleaned the shoes and treated the stains.
These Amina Muaddi Begum Glass Pump shoes were in almost-perfect condition, except that one of the signature silver brooches had fallen off one of the shoes. We repaired and reattached the brooch.
