Our approach
Old paint is carefully taken back, the edge sanded and sealed, then new paint applied in thin coats and finished to match the original as closely as possible.
Every bag starts with a specialist assessment. We treat it according to its material and condition, preserve original materials wherever possible, and aim to improve its appearance and extend its life — we never promise a bag will look brand new.

FAQ
Questions we're asked
Why is my bag's edge paint sticky?
Some edge paints break down with heat and age. The old paint needs to be removed and replaced rather than covered.
Can you match the original edge colour?
We colour-match by hand and aim for a close match to the original.
Is edge paint available at a fixed price?
Yes — Small $199, Medium $269, Large $329. If the leather underneath is damaged, we'll let you know before starting.
Can I send my handbag from interstate?
Yes. We work with customers Australia-wide. Once your quote is approved we'll explain how to send your bag to us safely, and we return it insured. Adelaide customers can also visit our studio.
