Hermès Wallet Colour Change & Hardware Restoration

Hermès Wallet Colour Change & Hardware Restoration

This Hermès Constance long wallet was in need of a refresh, with the hardware scratched and the leather stained and lacking its original lustre. We polished and re-plated the hardware and then changed the colour of the leather to a midnight blue.

RM Williams Boot Colour Change

RM Williams Boot Colour Change

These RM Williams Sydney boots were in fairly good shape, but the ‘tan’ coloured leather uppers had been stained by a darker leather polish, leaving the leather discoloured. We performed a complete re-dye, changing the colour of the boots to a darker ‘chestnut’ brown.

Chanel Bag Colour Change

Chanel Bag Colour Change

This Chanel Wild Stitch Flap bag was looking a little tired after years of continuous wear, leaving an otherwise exquisite bag looking like a mere shadow of its former self. We cleaned and conditioned the leather throughout the bag before recolouring / refinishing the leather to an entirely new colour of the customer’s choosing.

RM Williams Boot Suede Colour Change

RM Williams Boot Suede Colour Change

Regular wear had left the suede on these RM Williams boots stained and discoloured. We re-dyed the suede to black, to produce a consistent colour and finish throughout the boots and give the boots a fresh look.

Yves Saint Laurent Bag Colour Change & Reshape

Yves Saint Laurent Bag Colour Change & Reshape

This YSL Muse bag was in serious need of a refurbishment, with the white patent leather yellowing and the softening of the leather around the bag causing it to lose its shape. We reshaped the bag before cleaning, conditioning and then recolouring the patent leather to black.

Gucci Shoe Leather Colour Change

Gucci Shoe Leather Colour Change

These Gucci Jordaan leather loafers were brand new, but the customer was not quite fond of their dark green colour. We cleaned and conditioned the leather, before re-dyeing the uppers to black.

Prada Bag Colour Change

Prada Bag Colour Change

This Prada Promenade leather satchel bag was structurally in great shape, but as often happens the originally white patent leather had gradually yellowed as a result of everyday wear. We updated the bag by recolouring the patent leather to black.

Hermès Wallet Colour Change

Hermès Wallet Colour Change

This Hermès Bearn wallet was in reasonably good shape after years of wear, but in need of a freshening up. We cleaned and conditioned the leather throughout the wallet before re-dyeing the exterior leather to black — leaving a unique contrast between the red on the interior and the black on the exterior.

Prada Handbag Colour Change & Edging Repair

Prada Handbag Colour Change & Edging Repair

This Prada Galleria tote was thoroughly loved over the years, with the white saffiano leather heavily discoloured and the wax around the top of the bag and the edges of the shoulder strap worn right off. We cleaned and conditioned the leather throughout the bag before changing the colour to black and then re-waxing the worn edging.

Prada Wallet Colour Change and Closure Repair

Prada Wallet Colour Change and Closure Repair

This Prada Saffiano leather wallet needed the closure repaired and its colour changed from blue to black. We repaired the closure, replacing a piece of hardware, as well as cleaned and conditioned the saffiano leather before recolouring / refinishing it to black.
