Edward Green

Edward Green is a Northampton maker regarded as one of the finest hand-finished shoemakers in England, known for rich museum calf leathers and meticulous Goodyear-welted construction.

John Lobb

John Lobb spans both the historic St James’s bespoke bootmaker and the Northampton-made ready-to-wear line under the John Lobb Paris name, part of the Hermès group, both built on fine Goodyear-welted or hand-welted construction. We resole to the original welt specification, repair uppers, and recondition the leather to preserve the shoe’s shape and finish.

Repairs commonly include resoling on the original welt, sole unit replacement matched to the maker's tread pattern, and reconditioning weather-exposed leather uppers.

Loake

Loake is a family-owned Northampton maker (established 1880) producing both Goodyear-welted premium ranges and lighter, cemented-construction shoes, so the right repair approach depends on which construction a specific pair uses. We assess the sole attachment method first, then resole, reheel or repair stitching accordingly.

Santoni

Santoni is an Italian maker based in the Marche region, known for hand-applied patina finishes and a mix of Goodyear-welted and Blake-stitched construction depending on the style. Repair work is matched to the specific construction method used - a Blake-stitched shoe is resoled differently to a welted one - alongside recolouring to preserve the maker’s signature patina.

Berluti

Berluti is a Paris maker, founded in 1895 and now part of the LVMH group, renowned for hand-applied patina finishes - particularly on its signature Venezia calf leather - and for Blake-stitched or hand-welted construction. Restoration focuses heavily on leather refinishing and patina work alongside resoling matched to the shoe’s specific construction.

Alden

Alden is a long-established American maker (Massachusetts, founded 1884) known for Goodyear-welted construction and its use of shell cordovan leather, which ages and creases differently from calf and needs its own conditioning approach. We resole on the original welt and treat cordovan uppers with products suited to that leather rather than standard calf care.

Repair work is centred on resoling to the original welt and conditioning the leather to preserve its depth of colour and patina.

Hermès

Hermès leather goods are hand saddle-stitched using two needles and waxed linen thread rather than machine-sewn, and are made from specific house leathers such as Togo, Clemence, Epsom and Box calf, each of which behaves differently under conditioning. Repair work - corner and handle restitching, hardware servicing, colour restoration - is carried out using the same saddle-stitch technique and leather-specific treatment to stay consistent with the rest of the bag.

Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton's classic bags combine coated canvas (Monogram or Damier) with untreated vachetta leather trim, which darkens and develops a patina with age and light exposure rather than staying uniform. Common repairs include vachetta replacement or conditioning, canvas corner reinforcement, handle re-stitching and hardware replacement matched to the bag's original finish.

Chanel

Chanel's leather goods are best known for diamond-quilted lambskin or caviar (grained calfskin) leather with a chain shoulder strap and the CC turn-lock closure. Repairs commonly involve re-quilting or patching torn quilted panels, chain and hardware replacement, and turn-lock mechanism repair, matched to the specific leather finish.

Gucci

Gucci's leather goods range from GG canvas with leather trim to full-grain leather pieces and the signature bamboo-handled bag introduced in the 1940s. Repairs typically cover leather trim replacement, hardware and zip repair, handle re-stitching, and - on bamboo-handle styles - handle and clasp servicing specific to that construction.

Prada

Prada is known both for its technical nylon bags and for Saffiano leather, a cross-hatch embossed and lightly waxed calfskin developed to resist scratching and hold its shape. Repairs include nylon panel and seam repair, Saffiano leather corner and handle restoration, and zip and hardware replacement matched to the bag’s minimalist hardware finish.

Dior

Dior's leather goods include the Lady Dior with its signature cannage (diagonal quilted) stitching and the Saddle bag with its curved, structured silhouette, both requiring the stitch pattern and shape to be preserved precisely during repair. Work commonly includes re-stitching cannage quilting, handle and strap repair, and hardware replacement true to the bag's original finish.

Mulberry

Mulberry is a British house based in Somerset, known for robust, often heavily grained leathers and signature hardware such as the postman’s lock. Repairs commonly include corner and handle restitching, brass hardware replacement or re-plating, and conditioning of the thicker, more structured leathers Mulberry typically uses.

Bottega Veneta

Bottega Veneta is renowned for its intrecciato technique - leather strips hand-woven into the bag's surface - which needs specialist re-weaving rather than a standard patch if a section tears or unravels. Repairs focus on intrecciato reweaving, edge and handle restitching, and leather conditioning suited to the soft, unstructured leathers the house favours.

Goyard

Goyard is known for its Goyardine coated canvas, a hand-painted chevron pattern finished with hand-painted edge coating rather than standard leather edge paint. Repairs typically involve edge repainting, canvas corner reinforcement, handle re-stitching and leather trim replacement matched to the original tan or coloured trim.

Delvaux

Delvaux is a Belgian house founded in 1829 - among the oldest luxury leather goods makers still operating - known for the structured, box-framed Brillant bag and hand saddle-stitched leather. Repairs commonly include frame and clasp servicing, re-stitching to the original saddle-stitch technique, and leather conditioning to preserve the bag’s structured shape.

Valextra

Valextra is a Milan house known for minimalist, understated design in fine box-calf leather with precise, exposed edge-stitching rather than painted edges. Repairs need to match that visible stitch line exactly, alongside corner reinforcement, handle restitching and hardware servicing true to the bag’s understated hardware.

Fendi

Fendi is a Rome house known for the compact Baguette bag and its Selleria line, which uses exaggerated, visible hand-stitching as a design feature rather than a hidden construction detail. Repairs need to replicate that visible stitch pattern precisely, alongside handle, strap and hardware repair matched to the bag’s finish.

Rimowa

Repairs commonly include dent removal and panel straightening on aluminium cases, corner and shell crack repair on polycarbonate models, and wheel, handle and lock replacement matched to the maker’s own hardware.

Globe-Trotter

Globe-Trotter is a British house (established 1897) known for cases built from vulcanised fibreboard - a pressed, layered material rather than plastic or metal - finished with leather straps, corners and handles. Repairs typically include re-binding worn leather corners and straps, rivet and stud replacement, and reinforcing the fibreboard shell at stress points.

Samsonite Black Label

Samsonite Black Label is the brand’s premium design-led tier, typically using polycarbonate or aluminium shells with more refined hardware and finishes than Samsonite’s mainstream range.

Briggs & Riley

Briggs & Riley is an American house known for its CX expansion system and for building luggage around the idea of ongoing repairability rather than replacement. We’re glad to carry out repairs on Briggs & Riley cases, though a fault covered under the brand’s own repair guarantee may be worth raising with them directly first, which we can advise on at assessment.

Zero Halliburton

Zero Halliburton is an American house known for smooth, unfluted aluminium cases dating back to the mid-twentieth century, historically associated with professional and official use. Repairs typically involve dent removal and panel straightening, corner and rivet replacement, and servicing the combination locks built into the shell.

Louis Vuitton Luggage

Louis Vuitton’s luggage and trunks are traditionally built from coated canvas over a lightweight wooden frame, finished with leather trim, brass corners and the house’s own lock mechanism. Repairs on vintage and current pieces commonly include canvas and corner leather restoration, brass hardware re-plating, and frame or corner reinforcement true to the original construction.

Montblanc

Montblanc’s leather luggage and travel bags use fine calf or Saffiano leather with understated, minimalist hardware in keeping with the brand’s wider design language. Repairs typically include corner and handle restitching, zip and lock replacement, and leather conditioning to preserve the smooth, matte finish these pieces are known for.

Porsche Design

Porsche Design luggage favours a technical, minimalist aesthetic, typically combining aluminium or high-grade woven fabric shells with leather trim and understated hardware.

Belstaff is a British house (established 1924), historically known for waxed cotton motorcycling gear and for leather jackets such as the Trialmaster, built from heavier-weight leather to withstand abrasion. Repairs commonly include lining replacement, zip and popper hardware repair, and reconditioning the leather or waxed finish.

Schott NYC

Schott NYC is credited with introducing the first zippered leather motorcycle jacket, the Perfecto, in the late 1920s, and remains known for heavyweight cowhide and horsehide construction with substantial zip and stud hardware. Repairs typically include zip replacement to the same heavy gauge, lining repair, and stitching restoration on the seams that carry the most stress.

Aero Leather

Aero Leather is a Scottish maker known for historically accurate reproduction flight and military jackets in horsehide or goatskin, built with the same construction details as the vintage originals they reference. Repairs are approached with the same attention to period-correct detail - matching stitch pattern, hardware and leather type rather than substituting modern equivalents.

Saint Laurent

Saint Laurent's leather jackets are typically cut from soft lambskin in a slim, fashion-forward silhouette rather than the heavier protective leathers used by motorcycle-focused brands. Repairs need to preserve that close tailoring - lining and seam repair, zip replacement, and careful conditioning of the finer, softer leather - rather than the reinforcement approach used on heavier biker jackets.

AllSaints

AllSaints is a British fashion house known for biker-style leather jackets finished with a deliberately distressed or washed look, so any repair needs to match that worn aesthetic rather than restoring the leather to a uniform new finish. Common work includes lining replacement, zip repair, and seam restitching that blends into the jacket’s existing texture.

Rick Owens

Rick Owens is known for avant-garde, often asymmetric leather outerwear with draped silhouettes, typically cut from lambskin or other fine leathers rather than heavy protective hides. Repairs need to respect the garment’s unconventional pattern and drape - seam and lining repair, zip replacement, and conditioning suited to the specific soft leather used - without altering the intended silhouette.

Acne Studios

Acne Studios is a Swedish house known for minimalist leather jackets in muted colours and looser, often boxy cuts rather than a fitted biker silhouette. Repairs typically include lining and seam restitching, zip and hardware replacement, and colour-matched conditioning to keep the leather’s flat, understated finish.

Ralph Lauren Purple Label

Ralph Lauren Purple Label is the brand’s top luxury menswear tier, producing tailored leather and suede outerwear in fine lambskin and suede with classic English and American tailoring influences. Repairs include seam and lining restitching, button and zip hardware replacement, and specialist suede or nappa leather conditioning matched to the garment’s finish.

Dunhill

Dunhill is a British house (established 1893) known for refined leather outerwear and accessories within classic menswear, typically using fine calf or lambskin with understated hardware. Repairs commonly include lining replacement, seam and cuff restitching, and leather conditioning to preserve the smooth, formal finish these pieces are designed to have.

Rolls-Royce

Rolls-Royce interiors use exceptionally fine, often semi-aniline full-grain leather, hand-selected and hand box-stitched to a standard that uses generous quantities of hide per car. Repair and restoration work focuses on matching that hand-stitched box pattern, colour and grain exactly, since even a slightly mismatched panel is very visible against the surrounding leather.

Bentley

Bentley is known for diamond-quilted and cross-hatch stitched leather seating, alongside bespoke Mulliner interior commissions using fine, carefully matched hides. Restoration work commonly includes re-quilting damaged panels, re-stitching to the exact original pattern, and recolouring leather that has faded or worn unevenly with sun exposure.

Ferrari

Ferrari interiors typically combine perforated leather (for grip and ventilation) with Alcantara panels and contrast racing-style stitching on seats, door cards and steering wheels. Repairs need to match the perforation pattern and stitch colour precisely, alongside re-covering worn bolsters and repairing perforated leather without distorting the hole pattern.

Lamborghini

Lamborghini interiors favour bold contrast stitching and, on many models, perforated leather across seats and trim panels, with bolster wear a common issue given the aggressive seat bolstering used for support during hard cornering. Restoration typically involves re-covering worn bolsters, matching contrast stitch colour and pattern, and repairing perforated sections without altering the perforation spacing.

Aston Martin

Aston Martin interiors favour softer, full-grain leather with more understated quilting than some rivals, in keeping with the brand’s classic British grand-touring heritage. Restoration work focuses on colour-matched re-stitching, seam repair, and reconditioning leather that has dried out or faded, particularly on older models.

Porsche

Porsche offers a wide range of interior leather grades, from partial-leather trim up to full exclusive leather interiors, generally finished to be durable under daily sports-car use rather than purely decorative. Repairs commonly include seat bolster recovering - a frequent wear point from getting in and out of low seats - stitching repair, and leather conditioning matched to the specific grade fitted.

Rolex

Rolex fits leather straps mainly to its dress models, built to precise lug width and spring-bar tolerances that need matching exactly for a replacement strap to sit correctly. We replace and re-stitch leather straps to the correct width and taper, and repair or replace worn buckle leather, without any work on the watch head or movement itself.

Omega

Omega uses leather straps across several ranges, including quick-release systems on some modern models that need a compatible strap end fitting to work properly. We replace and re-stitch straps to the correct lug width and end-fitting, matching leather type and stitch colour to the original.

Cartier

Cartier is known for elegant dress watches such as the Tank, traditionally fitted with fine calf or alligator leather straps and a deployment clasp rather than a simple buckle. We replace and re-stitch straps in matching leather grades, and repair or replace the leather section of the deployment clasp where it has worn.

TAG Heuer

TAG Heuer’s chronograph and sports models are often fitted with robust stitched calf leather straps designed to withstand more active wear than a dress strap. We replace and re-stitch these straps to the correct width and taper, matching stitch pattern and leather finish to the original.

Breitling

Breitling’s aviation-heritage models are often paired with distinctive riveted or perforated leather straps in the aviator style. We replace and re-stitch these straps, matching the rivet or perforation pattern and leather finish to the original design.

Tudor

Tudor fits both leather and fabric NATO-style straps across its heritage-inspired ranges, with leather options usually in a simple stitched calf or aged, distressed leather finish. We replace and re-stitch leather straps to the correct lug width, matching the aged or smooth finish as the model requires.

Longines

Longines is known for classic dress watches typically fitted with fine calf or croc-embossed leather straps and a pin or deployment buckle. We replace and re-stitch straps in matching leather grades and repair worn buckle leather to the original finish.

IWC

Panerai

Panerai is known for notably thick, heavy leather straps with wide lug spacing, reflecting the brand’s large watch case sizes. We replace and re-stitch straps to that wider lug width and heavier leather gauge, which a standard-width replacement strap will not fit correctly.

Jaeger-LeCoultre

Jaeger-LeCoultre’s dress and complication watches are typically fitted with slim, fine calf or alligator leather straps suited to a formal dress watch. We replace and re-stitch these straps in matching fine leather grades, preserving the slim profile the watch case is designed to sit with.

Patek Philippe

Patek Philippe is known for exceptionally fine, hand-stitched calf and alligator straps finished to a very high standard, fitted with the brand’s own proprietary buckle designs. We replace and re-stitch straps to match that fine hand-stitched finish and the exact fitting needed for the original buckle.

Audemars Piguet

Audemars Piguet fits leather straps to several ranges, including rubber-backed leather straps on some sports models, with strap ends shaped to integrate precisely with the case. We replace and re-stitch these straps, matching the composite leather-and-rubber construction and the case-specific end shape.

Vacheron Constantin

Vacheron Constantin, one of the oldest continuously operating Swiss watchmakers, fits its dress watches with fine, hand-finished calf or alligator leather straps in keeping with the brand’s overall refinement. We replace and re-stitch these straps to match that fine finish and the precise lug fitting of the specific model.

Richard Mille

Richard Mille’s technical, sports-oriented watches are fitted with a range of strap materials including leather, often shaped to the brand’s distinctive, non-standard case outlines. We replace and re-stitch leather straps shaped and fitted to that specific case profile, since a standard straight strap will not sit correctly against these designs.

Hermès Equestrian

Hermès began as a Paris harness-maker in 1837, and its equestrian division still produces hand-stitched saddles, bridles and tack using the same saddle-stitch technique the house is known for in its leather goods. Restoration work matches that hand-stitching exactly, alongside panel and billet repair and conditioning of the fine leathers used.

Stubben

Stubben is a German saddlery known for English-style dressage and general-purpose saddles, including an adjustable tree system that allows the saddle’s fit to be adjusted rather than only flocked. Repair work includes re-flocking, panel and billet replacement, and stitching repair matched to the saddle’s specific tree and panel construction.

Passier

Passier is one of Germany’s oldest saddlers, established in 1867, known particularly for dressage saddles with traditionally flocked wool panels. Restoration work commonly includes re-flocking to restore panel shape and balance, billet and stirrup leather replacement, and stitching repair on the seat and panels.

CWD

CWD is a French saddlery known for close-contact jumping saddles offered with extensive customisation, including a choice of leather or synthetic panel materials.

Antarès

Antarès is a French saddlery known for jumping saddles built around adjustable tree systems designed to fit a range of horse shapes without relying on reflocking alone. Restoration work includes panel and billet repair, re-flocking where the panel construction requires it, and conditioning of the saddle’s leather flaps and seat.

Bates is an Australian saddlery known for its adjustable gullet system and, on many models, air panel technology alongside traditional flocked leather panels.
