Welcome to the Before & After Gallery
Here you will be able to see examples of repairs previously executed in the before and after stages.
Gucci Bag - Lining Replacement
It is common to see vintage Gucci bags with faux leather linings.In this case this one peeled completely exposing the textile underneath. We removed the old lining and created a new one in real leather.
Kelly Hermes Bag - Handle Replacement
This Kelly bag had a snapped handle due to the leather wearing down. We removed the old damaged handle and created a new hand-stitched one in a matching leather.
Clergerie Wedge Sandals - Dog Chew repair
These Clergerie wedges were repaired by replacing the damaged leather on the heel and insole.
Dunhill Wallet- Dog Chew repair
The External part of this wallet was chewed by a dog, we removed the old damaged leather and replaced it with new one in a matching grain and colour.
Givenchy Antigona Bag - Handle Replacement
This Givenchy Antigona bag had a tear in the middle of the handle, with time this became worse and the internal tube started to slide out. We removed the damaged handle by accessing the inside of the bag through the lining, recreated the handle in a matching leather and reattached it as it was originally.
Manolo Blahnik Heels - Flower remake
These Manolo Blahnik heels arrived with a missing flower on the toe. We sourced a matching suede and created a new one from scratch.
Ted Baker Sneakers - Heel lining repair
The heel lining on these Ted Baker sneakers had torn exposing the padding inside the shoes. We executed a lining repair and added extra padding for comfort.
Marni Bag - Gusset tear repair
The stitching on one of the gussets of this Marni bag had torn along the stitch line. We realigned it and hand-stitched it back in place as well as reapplied the edgecoat treatment.
Gucci Loafers - Binding repair (dog chew)
These Gucci loafers had very little signs of wear and damage except for the dog chew on the binding. We colour-matched the leather to the original tone and used it to replace the binding fully.
Chanel Trainers - Collar replacement and suede cleaning
The white nylon collar was permanently stained so we replaced it with black leather and executed a cleaning of the black suede.
Stella McCartney Wedges - Lining, insole, binding and elastic replacement
All the faux leather parts of these Stella McCartney wedges were damaged and peeling. We replaced all of them with a matching shade of leather. The binding and elastic were also replaced with according materials.
Alexander McQueen Bag - Strap reattachment
The strap on this Alexander McQueen bag snapped. We came up with a creative way of hiding the seam under the existing strap and hand sewing the rest directly onto the body of the bag.
