Shoe strap replacement

Customer location

Putney in Sydney, New South Wales

The shoes

The straps on these Louis Vuitton sandals were peeling and beyond repair. When this customer reached out to us for a free diagnosis/quote, we offered to replace the straps with a pair of entirely new leather straps.

In some cases where the straps of shoes are damaged, they can be restored. However, leathers are usually beyond restoration once they start peeling — on a pair of shoes like these, simply colouring over the damaged leather would not have offered a satisfactory option.

Strap replacement

We started off by removing the original straps and then cutting pieces of leather to match their length and shape. We then custom mixed a colour based on the original — in this case a metallic purple — and use that to recolour / refinish the new leather straps. We finally installed these new straps, securing them into place between the soles and insoles.
