Good leather can last for decades if it's looked after. A favorite jacket with a torn seam, a belt that has faded at the edges, or a wallet that's lost its color is usually worth saving. Our family has been fixing leather since 1957, and since 1988 we've done that work at our Los Angeles workshop on Beverly Blvd.
Shoes and handbags are our core work, and we use the same skills on other leather pieces:
If your item isn't on the list, send us a photo. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
Sun, wear and friction fade leather unevenly. We match the dye to the original shade, or to a new color if you want a change, so scuffs, faded panels and worn edges blend back in. Color matching is done by hand, item by item. Recoloring is priced after we see the item.
Dry leather cracks, and dirty leather wears out faster. We clean each piece with products suited to its leather type, whether that's smooth calfskin, lambskin, suede or nubuck. Then we condition it to bring back softness and help it resist future damage. Cleaning starts at $35. That's a starting price, adjusted once we see the item.
Seams loosen, and stitch lines wear through at stress points. We re-stitch to match the original thread and stitch spacing as closely as we can, and we reinforce areas that keep failing. For larger tears we'll explain the options before we start, including what the repair will look like once it's done.
