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.

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.

This beautiful Gucci Disco handbag came to us with damaged strap loops that needed to be recrafted. It presented with some general wear and tear, especially around the corners.
Luke recrafted the leather loops, and Jenny performed a restorative clean and colour refinishing, making sure to match the original colour.
This handbag is now not only restored to a like-new condition but also fully functional again.
