Melbourne Handbag Repairers Trusted Since 1955
Trusted by luxury brands
Looking for a handbag repair in Melbourne?
Widely considered the Australia's culture capital, and consistently ranked as one of the world's most 'liveable' cities, Melbourne has it all: from beaches and live music to world-class restaurants and museums. However, as exciting as living in a metropolis like Melbourne can be, it takes its toll, and so it helps to get away from it all every now and then. This applies no less to the satchels and purses we carry around with us everyday — even they need their own occasional 'spa day'.
While an obvious option might be to send a tired looking bag to landfill as environmental waste, along with the money you have spent on it and any sentimental value it might have, repairing or restoring a bag always worth consideration.

This Saint Laurent Sac De Jour bag was in great shape, except that the embossed branding on the front of the bag had faded. We repainted the logo by hand.
