Problems We Can Solve for You
We offer expert shoe and bag repair services, from cleaning and polishing to stitching, re-soling, and hardware replacement—restoring your favorite pieces with the care they deserve!
💼 Leather Cleaning
1. Shoe & Bag Cleaning
A deep cleaning service to remove surface dirt, stains, and buildup from leather, suede, nubuck, or fabric. Perfect for refreshing everyday wear or preparing pre-loved items for use.
2. Conditioning Treatment
Over time, leather dries and loses its natural oils. Our conditioning treatment restores suppleness, prevents cracking, and maintains a healthy, polished appearance.
3. Water & Stain Repellent Treatment
We apply a professional-grade protective coating to shield leather, suede, and textiles from water damage, stains, and dirt. This invisible barrier prolongs the life of your items without altering their appearance.
4. Color Restoration & Dyeing
For discoloration, fading, or uneven tones, we provide expert leather dyeing and pigmentation. Each piece is carefully color-matched to restore vibrancy while preserving the original finish.
5. Spot Cleaning
Targeted cleaning for specific problem areas such as pen marks, grease stains, or scuffs. We minimize damage and restore as much of the original look as possible without treating the entire item.
6. Touch-Up Refinishing
Minor scratches, abrasions, or light discolorations are spot-treated and refinished, blending seamlessly into the surrounding leather for a natural look.
7. Suede & Nubuck Care
Specialized cleaning and conditioning to revive the delicate texture of suede and nubuck, finished with protective treatments to guard against future staining.

2. Handle & Strap Repair/Replacement

4. Corner & Piping Repair
High-wear corners and piping are reconstructed with precision to maintain the bag’s original silhouette and extend its life.
5. Lining Replacement
We replace damaged or stained interior linings with durable, high-quality fabric or leather, closely matching the original finish.

9. Louis Vuitton Vachetta Replacement
Vachetta leather is a signature feature of Louis Vuitton bags, but it is highly sensitive to wear, darkening, cracking, and water damage. We expertly replace vachetta trims, handles, and tabs with authentic vachetta leather, sourced to match the original. While new vachetta starts out light, it will naturally develop a rich patina over time, blending seamlessly with the rest of your bag.
