These Dr Martens 1460 Mono boots were in desperate need some attention, with large tears in the uppers, and the soles almost falling off. We repaired the tears, performed a full resole and polished the leather uppers.

These Dr Martens 1460 Mono boots were in desperate need some attention, with large tears in the uppers, and the soles almost falling off. We repaired the tears, performed a full resole and polished the leather uppers.
This Christian Dior bag’s exterior was significantly discoloured by not only ingrained dirt along the stitch lines but also gradual removal of the bag’s colour through abrasion of the leather’s outer layers. We cleaned and conditioned the leather before refinishing it to restore its original colour.
These Gucci lace up shoes were largely in good condition, but the heels and soles had worn down and lost their tread, and the insoles and laces were worn and in need of replacement. We performed a full resole and reheel, and replaced the insoles and laces.
This Chanel messenger bag was in need of a refresh, with the gold hardware looking discoloured, the piping and chain strap worn and the inner lining stained. We replaced the piping and leather chain strap, performed some leather restoration work and re-plated the hardware.
These Maison Magiela Tabi mid-heel pumps were well looked after, but the leather around one of the heel blocks had been severely chewed up by a dog. We removed the damaged leather and re-covered the heel blocks with new leather.
These soles on these shoes were worn down and cracking at the ball of the foot. We resoled the boots, installing an entirely new pair of durable rubber soles.
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.
