Bottega Veneta Handbag restoration
We received this beautiful Bottega Veneta handbag, that had signs of wear and tear, and some of the braided leather needed repair.
One of the main issues that can arise with braided leather is the potential for the individual links or strands to become damaged over time. Whether it's from regular use, accidental snags, or exposure to the elements, the delicate leather can start to fray, loosen, or even break. These damages can affect the overall appearance of your bag and, in severe cases, compromise its structural integrity.
Early detection of issues like fraying or loosening links can prevent further damage and make repairs more manageable.
Jenny patched the areas where the leather was damaged and frayed and finalised the work by doing a restorative clean and a colour retouch, making sure that the colour matched with the original colour of the bag.

Celine handbag restoration
We received this tan Celine handbag with marks and stains on the leather.
Jenny performed a restorative clean and a colour retouch, carefully matching it with the original tan colour, to bring the bag to a like-new condition.
Daily use, such as constant handling and placing bags on different surfaces, accidental spills of liquids like coffee, wine, or makeup can leave stains.
Environmental factors, such as exposure to sunlight, rain, and humidity, can lead to discolouration and water stains, while natural oils from our hands and body lotions can transfer onto the leather, causing dark spots.
Regular care and maintenance help prevent and minimise these issues.

Bottega Veneta handbag colour change
We received this beautiful Bottega Veneta bag for a colour change.
Our customer loved the bag; however, they wanted a colour change to make it more versatile.
They requested a shift from cream/white to a French navy colour to match their leather jacket, which they left with us for reference.
Jenny performed a colour change, ensuring it matched the jacket's tone.
The transformation is remarkable, with the bag now showcasing a beautiful new navy hue.

You guys do such an excellent job, your workmanship is top notch, but, without a doubt this Chanel is a fake, sorry but it is.
What would a restoration like this cost? My similar bag is over 19 yrs old and the lining has not deteriorated at all.
Stunning!

Prada Handbag Relining.
We'll often see pleather linings on both fake and authentic brand items. You can see the crumbly leather where the lining has disintegrated. We replaced the lining with a colour-matched leather and used a red wax finish to restore and reseal the edges.
