Prada Handbag Repair and Restoration

Founded by Italian brothers Mario and Martino Prada in 1913, the Prada brand has grown from a humble leather goods shop in Milan’s prestigious Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II into a multi-billion-dollar luxury fashion powerhouse. Prada’s items are inspired by contemporary art and sophisticated society, without compromise on quality or consistent innovation. Prada’s handbags are some of the most renowned in the world of luxury handbags, making them worth preserving.

Prada Handbag Repair Examples

Here are a few examples of recent Prada handbag repairs and restorations performed by our team of experienced craftsmen, along with before and after photos we hope you find helpful.

Case Studies List

Prada Bag Colour Restoration

The leather around the exterior of this Prada bag was scratched and discoloured, particularly at the ends of the handles. We cleaned, conditioned and recoloured the leather, to conceal the scratches and restore the original colour.

Prada Handbag Zipper Replacement

The zipper on this Prada Vitello Daino tote handbag was torn. We removed the damaged zipper and replaced it with an entirely new one, retaining the original Prada zipper runner and zipper pull.

Prada Bag Strap Replacement

The straps on this vintage Prada bag had seen better days, being worn and then suffering a botched repair. We replaced the straps with an entirely new pair.

Prada Bag Colour Change

This Prada Promenade leather satchel bag was structurally in great shape, but as often happens the originally white patent leather had gradually yellowed as a result of everyday wear. We updated the bag by recolouring the patent leather to black.

Prada Bag Hardware Replating

The main badge on this Prada saffiano bag had faded, losing its original gold plating. We replated the hardware to restore its original gold colour.

Prada Handbag Colour Change & Edging Repair

This Prada Galleria tote was thoroughly loved over the years, with the white saffiano leather heavily discoloured and the wax around the top of the bag and the edges of the shoulder strap worn right off. We cleaned and conditioned the leather throughout the bag before changing the colour to black and then re-waxing the worn edging.

Prada Handbag Piping Repair

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.

Prada Handbag Edging Repair

This Prada tote had the edging around it top rim worn away, with the lining splitting from the body of the bag. We re-edged/re-waxed the affected area to seal up the lining and conceal the seam.

Prada Handbag Restoration

This classic Prada Galleria tote had accumulated dirt, mould, discolouration, scuffs and scratches over time. We performed a full restoration, cleaning and conditioning the leather before treating it for mould and then recolouring and waterproofing it.

Prada Handbag Strap Repair

This retro Prada tote bag had become a mere shadow of its former self, with the leather looking particularly tired and the straps frayed and starting to tear away from the bag. We cleaned and conditioned the leather before repairing the straps and reinforcing them.

Prada Handbag Chain Strap Repair

The leather woven through the chain strap on this Prada handbag had torn at its weakest point, where it loops through the bag. We were able to remove, cleanly stitch and re-weave the leather through the strap to repair it.
