We received a pair of Hermès Oran sandals that needed significant restoration. The right sandal had a damaged and torn leather upper lining, while both sandals exhibited signs of wear and general discolouration.
Our leather specialist, Luke, recrafted and replaced the damaged leather on the right sandal. Once the new lining was in place, Jenny performed a restorative clean and a colour retouch, ensuring the recrafted leather perfectly matched the original colour of the sandals.
The result is a pair of sandals that are not only functional again but also in great condition, ready to be enjoyed for many more seasons.

We recently transformed a stunning pair of white Jimmy Choo wedding heels by changing their colour to black for practical use.
The customer wanted to make the shoes more versatile and easier to maintain, ensuring they could be worn more often.
Jenny performed the colour change, turning the heels into black while preserving the original texture and quality of the fabric.
To complete the process, she applied a high-quality waterproof spray to protect the shoes from water damage, stains, and general wear.
Wedding heels are often made of leather or satin, both of which can be dyed.

Beautiful work.
We recently received a pair of brand-new Gucci loafers to add protective soles and heels.
Protective soles not only enhance durability but also protect your shoes from wear and tear, as well as water damage.
Our leather specialist, Luke, added the new soles and heels to ensure these loafers remain in excellent condition.
To further protect the leather, Luke applied a waterproof treatment to prevent stains and damage over time.
We recommend adding protective soles and waterproofing the leather to maintain and extend the life of your designer items.
Caring for your shoes with these preventative measures will help keep them looking their best for years to come.

These beautiful shoes are now fully functional and in like-new condition.

Stunning! Great work
Tom Ford boot restoration
We received a pair of Tom Ford boots that had previously been patched on the right shoe by another repairer. The patch needed to be redone, so we recrafted a new one and added stitching on the left side to match the look of both shoes.
These boots were also too tight around the ankles for our customer, so we added extra leather to create more room. Additionally, we painted the soles back to the original colour, performed a restorative clean, and retouched the colour to ensure the new leather matched the original black tone.
These beautiful boots are now ready to be worn once more.

Jenny's care tips - Ladies Pointed-Toe protection
We all love Pointed Toes, such as these Pradas, however one thing buyers should be aware of is that their delicate design makes them more vulnerable to damage than regular shoes.
For all shoes, we suggest adding protective soles to prevent thinning of the soles, and to protect against kicks, and knocks that your shoes may incur day to day.
The slim toes on Pointed-Toe shoes do not have enough surface area for the protective soles to adhere to alone. To solve this issue for our customers, we craft a leather Toe Piece from a German brand called JR Leather. This leather Toe Piece is strong, and provides sufficient support for the protective soleing.
On top of the leather Toe Piece, we then add our signature protective sole, crafted with Vibram Rubber. Together in combination, your Pointed-Toe shoes will be more protected, and you will feel comfortable wearing them without risking damage the leather upper.

Valentino Garavani heel restoration.
The heels had been been mauled by this customers pup. There was fraying around one of the uppers with a chewed section extending all the way through into the lining. The black leather heel covers had also been destroyed.
We replaced the heel covers before building out the lining / remaking the bitten upper portion of the shoe. We also smoothed and tidied up the worn soles (not perfect but we retained the original Valentino soles)

Half rubber sole protectors for Louboutin stiletto heels. After Louboutin soles wear in we'll typically add 1mm colour-matched rubber protectors to the soles. This is a popular anti-slip repair option which also extends the life of designer shoes.
