Using specialist leather filler and hand-mixed-and-matched pigment, we breathe new life into your loved stilettos.
This service covers restoring the full shoe. If only parts of your shoe need restoring (for example, just the toe or just the heel), your item may be more suited to our partial restoration service.
Patent shoes? We can restore patent in some cases. Patent shoes are judged on a case by case basis, depending on colour and extent of damage.
Very worn? If your shoes are very worn, we’d recommend a toe piece, half resole or reheel to restore their functionality.
Wedge or block heel? This service doesn’t cover the restoration of shoes with wedge or block heels. You can send us photos of your shoes to get a preliminary quote.
Platform? A platform under the toe requires extra restoration, so an extra £70 will be charged.
Dirty shoes? Heels with a degree of dirt or mud will require a £55 special clean before restoration can begin.
We begin the restoration process by cleaning your stilettos. Our cleaning and care artisans will clean the whole shoe internally and externally with a mild detergent specific for the material.
With the clean complete, our restoration artisans will identify a part of the shoe where the colour is as close to the original as possible. We use this area as a reference to hand mix and match pigment that will be used to restore your shoes. We begin by using specialist leather filler to repair scuffs, tears or scrapes. Once complete, the pigment is applied in thin layers evenly across the shoe.
To finish, a protective coating is be applied to prevent colour loss and ensure the adhesion of the pigment to the leather. The finish is adjusted to match the shine of the original item.
