This vintage Gucci bag had become effectively unusable, with one of the strap mounts missing, the piping torn, and the inner lining disintegrating. We replaced the strap mount, repaired the piping and replaced the inner lining.
These Birkenstock Arizona Birko-Flor shoes were holding up well after years of wear, but the soles were worn down and the synthetic leather uppers had lost much of their colour. We resoled the shoes and then restored the uppers.
The straps on this Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Petit Bucket bag were worn and discoloured, especially at the top of the handles where carried. We installed a new pair of straps made from a fresh vachetta leather and based on the design of the original straps.
These suede Louboutin Kate 100 pumps had lost their heel tips and the original red colour on the leather soles. We replaced the heel tips, repaired the heel blocks just above them, and protected the original soles with a pair of glossy red sole protectors.
These Golden Goose Super-star sneakers were in good shape, but the soles had become worn out and thin from everyday wear, particularly around the backs of the heels. We repaired the existing soles and installed new, durable rubber soles over the top
This Bottega Veneta Arco handbag was in great shape, except for a couple of loose stitches along the top flap. We repaired the stitching, replacing the loose stitching with new thread through the original holes.
These Ferragamo Varina Ballet flats were well-looked after, but the gold hardware on the Vara bows had become heavily tarnished and discoloured. We polished and replated the hardware.
These Nike Mid Blazer sneakers were in bad shape after a run in with a considerable amount of mud and dirt. We cleaned the leather uppers and the sidewalls of the rubber soles.
The heel blocks on these Prada Embroidered sandals were chewed by a naughty pip, leaving the leather heavily gouged and the shoes visibly worn. We re-wrapped the damaged heel blocks with new saffiano leather like the original.
The leather binding around the sides of this Louis Vuitton Popincourt bag were heavily worn and dry — as is common when worn vachetta leather is not conditioned to keep it nourished and healthy. We replaced the leather binding on both sides of the bag with new, tanned vachetta leather.
