A good repair is all about the finish - a lot of the time it comes down to the hardware and the colour match.

Over the years, we’ve sourced hundreds of clasps, d-rings, dog clips, buckles, chains, rivets, press studs (the list goes on!) across different finishes to ensure we have the closest possible match to the original. We’re continuously adding to this collection and sourcing matches for hardware we see a lot in store.

Colour is approached the same way. Every shade is custom matched to a sample with hand eye coordination and mixed by hand. We’re always making new dyes to ensure an accurate colour match to sample.

It’s these finishing touches that make the difference.

Quilted Chanel bag restroation

This faded beige Chael was died to black to restore the appearance. We applied several layers of black dye before coating with waterpotection to prevent colour transfer.

The soles on your Manolos might be wearing down more than you think.

Protective soles are the only way to preserve the original leather - once your leather get too thin, you risk exposing and damaging the delicate upper.

You don’t want torn and ripped satin toes!

Your bag and jeans might not always get along! Watch out for colour transfer - particularly for those light coloured bags.

Fortunately, we were able to restore this YSL to like new again!

Goyard totes are designed to be lightweight - but that also means they show wear.

The coated canvas is durable, but the leather trim, corners, and handles take the strain over time. Small reinforcements and repairs can make all the difference in extending the life of the piece.

Caring for your Christian Louboutins is about both prevention and maintenance.

Protective soles and waterproofing are designed to minimise wear early on.

As the pair is worn, heel repairs, leather sole restoration, polishing, and colour refinishing help bring them back
