Restoring a Chanel Handbag

When it comes to the finest accessories, Chanel is at the top of the list. Pieces from this world-famous fashion house are not only renowned for being the ultimate in luxury, they can also grow in demand and value over time. However, delicate and pale-coloured pieces, such as the example brought to us by this customer, also require professional care to keep them in their best condition.

This crocodile leather chained shoulder bag was brought to us by its owner, who feared it may be beyond saving. Our Chanel bag repair specialist examined it and prescribed several steps for repair. Firstly, they carefully cleaned both the lining and outer shell to remove marks and lift stains. During this stage, attention was paid to the edges and folds, which had discoloured over time. The second step was to carefully deconstruct and clean the chain and leather strap.

At Jeeves, all handbag cleaning is carried out using only the gentlest and greenest methods. As well as protecting the environment, this ensures that the materials are protected and are not misshapen, warped or damaged.

Our handbag restoration specialist then protected all metal embellishments and mixed a paint to exactly match the colour of the bag prior to wear. After applying the paint, the handbag was comparable to new and we handed it back to the care of its delighted owner.
