Showcasing our shoe and handbag repairs with before and after photos
The patent leather handles on this Kate Spade handbag were severely worn, with parts of the glossy varnished surface of the leather having peeled away entirely, leaving the handles sticky and basically unfit for use. We replaced the handles with an entirely new pair.
These boots were heavily stained around the toes. We cleaned and treated the nubuck leather to get the boots looking fresh.
These Salvatore Ferragamo F-Heel sandals were in nearly-new condition, but one of the heels blocks was chewed by a dog leaving the leather torn and completely missing in some places. We re-covered the heel block with new leather.
This Gucci bag was in great condition, but the monogram canvas was starting to fade in one spot. We use a fine brush and custom mixed colours to touch up the canvas by hand.
These Louis Vuitton Silhouette Ankle boots were brand new, with the original glossy leather soles unprotected and lacking traction. We installed a pair of premium rubber protective soles over the top of the original soles to enhance both durability and grip.
These R.M. Williams Chincilla boots were fairly new and in great shape, but the leather soles remained prone to significant wear, particularly at the toes. We installed a pair of flush-mounted, brass Triumph toe plates.
One end of the strap on this Valentino Rockstud Calfskin Tote bag had torn right off, leaving the bag unwearable. We repaired and reattached the torn strap.
The soles on these Ecco Soft 7 GTZ Tie sneakers were heavily worn, with a large split across the ball of one foot. We replaced the soles with entirely new ones custom made from scratch to fit the shoes.
While these Fendi Espadrille Wedge T-Strap shoes were in great condition, the elastics around the ankles had stretched out over time, leaving the shoes unwearable. We replaced the elastics with entirely new ones.
This Hermès Constance long wallet was in need of a refresh, with the hardware scratched and the leather stained and lacking its original lustre. We polished and re-plated the hardware and then changed the colour of the leather to a midnight blue.
