Before any work begins:

 

Every item is assessed individually before work begins. The aim is always to extend the life of the piece in a way that feels appropriate - improving its use without losing its character.

A full reconditioning service for bags that are dry, worn or in need of care, helping to clean, nourish and restore the leather and extend the life of the bag.

​

Our reconditioning service includes:

​

  • Surface clean

  • Leather conditioning

  • Reshaping where needed

  • Light polish and finish

  • Minor repairs and tidy

​

This is suited to items in generally sound condition that would benefit from careful maintenance rather than repair.

​

If any repairs are needed, these will be advised separately before going ahead. To book your bag into the workshop for a reconditioning service please complete the repair enquiry form.
