The original soles on these brand new Hermès Oran sandals were made from an unprotected natural leather that left the shoes prone to accelerated wear and tear and lacking in traction for the wearer. We installed a pair of thin rubber sole protectors to enhance both durability and grip.

The shoulder strap and zipper pull on this Marc Jacobs bag had become worn around the edges, where the wax protecting the sides of the leather had pulled away, leaving the underlying leather exposed.

These Valentino flats, no less elegant without any signature rockstuds, needed protection around the leather soles, which had been worn merely a few times but already showing noticeable signs of wear. We added a pair of thin protective soles over the top of the original leather soles.
