Does this sound familiar?
- Widespread fading
- Uneven colour over the whole bag
- A colour you no longer wear
- Wear too extensive for spot touch-ups
What we may be able to do
Following assessment, we can recolour suitable leather to its original shade or, in many cases, a darker one.
What we can treat
- Whole-bag fading
- Uneven colour
- Colour change to a darker shade
Our approach
Not every leather can be recoloured, so assessment comes first. We prepare the surface, then apply colour in thin layers to keep the leather flexible.
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
Can I change my bag to a lighter colour?
Going significantly lighter is rarely successful. Recolouring to the same shade or darker is usually the most reliable option.
Does recolouring affect resale value?
It can. A sympathetic recolour to the original shade is generally viewed more favourably than a colour change.
Can every bag be recoloured?
No. Some coated canvas, exotic or untreated leathers aren't suitable. We'll confirm after seeing photos.
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.
