How Are Designer Bags Professionally Restored?
The moment you’ve been waiting for has finally come. You’ve saved up your hard-earned money for months and are finally able to afford the luxury handbag of your dreams. Designed by your favourite fashion house, whether it’s Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Fendi or Dior, this luxury purse is finally yours. The salesperson puts it in the dust bag, puts it in the box, then the shopping bag, and then hands it to you.

You say to yourself, “I’ll only handle this with white gloves and bring this out with me on special occasions.” We’re telling you to throw caution to the wind and use your beloved designer bag every day. You worked hard to be able to afford this handbag, so why not show it off!

Repair and Replacement
Oh no, your zipper is sticking, or your purse strap is fraying. Don’t worry! Love Your Leather is able to repair all the parts of your purse. We specialize in the repair of the following components:
- Lining, Handle and Trims

Dye
- Has your purse faded due to years of use?

We never recommend dyeing your purse at home as it can cause damage beyond repair.

How to Prevent Damage to Your Designer Handbag
Now that you know what we can do for you and your luxury purse at Love Your Leather, here are some tips to prevent you from causing any damage to your precious handbag:
- When not in use, never hang your purse by its straps on handles because it will stretch them out. Instead, store it on a shelf. If it doesn’t stand up by itself, stuff it with tissue paper.
- Place all items that can potentially stain like perfume, cosmetics or pens in a separate zipped bag before putting them in your purse.
- Never over-stuff your purse. If you notice the zipper is struggling to close, don’t force it. Take some items out or use a different bag.
- Get your purse professionally stain proofed. Love Your Leather offers stain proof handbag treatment to help prevent future damage.
