Restoring Irina Lakicevic's Céline Bag

Reviving Vintage Gucci

Transcending seasons, Gucci is continuously on top of the accessories game. So when we received several vintage Gucci designs, it was unanimously agreed it would make the ultimate case study to take these under the loop together. Read on to see how we revived some of this season’s hottest accessories.

Refashioning The Summer Basket

Manolo Blahnik Hangisi Pumps

Follow the journey of a pair of Manolo Blahnik Hangisi pumps from Ivory silk satin to Gunmetal Grey, courtesy of The Restory colour experts; how a happy coincidence turned out to be the perfect shade.

Vintage Hermès Kelly

It's impossible not to get excited whenever we receive a Hermès Kelly at our atelier and this time we had the chance to restore a beautiful heirloom piece that could use a bit of The Restory magic.

Louboutin Snakeskin Pumps

Highlighting another regular at our atelier, we recently restored the Christian Louboutin New Declic python pumps. See the intricate procedure of restoring exotic leathers.

Chanel Ballet Flats

The Chanel flats are a favourite among The Restory’s clients and often worn until their very last breath. So we decided it was high time to put the spotlight on this timeless classic.

Stingray Card Case

We recently had a request from a client who wanted to bring his very unique card case back to life. See how we revived this special piece partially made out of stingray leather.

Glittered Chelsea Boots

Our Head of Atelier reimagined her chelsea boots from burgundy to black with a touch of glitter. See the process and be inspired by the possibilities to reimagine your items.

‘The quality of your services is fantastic. My purse looked as good as new both inside and out – and I realise the bright colour green is not the easiest to match.
Its deliver presentation also looked great. I’ll definitely be coming back with other leather products.’
