We carefully trim these away and then glue the intact leather back to the bag. If there are any gaps or holes we use a flexible filler to fill the gaps. This filler looks and feels like leather to blend in with the bag.
Once the damaged areas has been repaired smoothly with the rest of the leather we'll then match the colour and restore the colour so it blends in with the rest of the bag. Colour loss can be the result of a stain or spill that strips the colour out of the leather, or sadly our customers trying too hard to remove a stain themselves and end up rubbing the colour off the leather! Leather will fade naturally with use and if you look inside the bag at a hidden piece of leather you'll see how much the colour of your handbag may have changed over the years!
Both issues can be easily fixed at Handbag Clinic. The key part is getting an exact colour match and we use a specialist computer called a Spectrophotometer to do this. We'll clean the damaged area, restore the colour using the colour match and then seal it in to provide you with years more use of your handbag. If you didn't know, when your leather handles start to look dark and dull it is caused by a build-up of sweat, natural oils from your skin and moisturisers.
The leather slowly absorbs these greasy liquids and will gradually start to look darker with age. Unfortunately this type of staining doesn't simply clean off and needs to be degreased instead. We do this by wiping on a paste like degreaser that starts to loosen the grease, then as it dries it absorbs the grease. Purse repair can be complex, as each job is custom and completed by hand.
Often, our craftsmen must sew through layers of leather, strapping, and lining to make a delicate repair.
