Carolina Herrera Piping Repair and Colour Restore
This Carolina Herrera leather handbag arrived with significant piping wear and a large section of the bag discolored. If you’re not familiar with the term "piping," it’s something to be aware of if you plan on purchasing or already own certain leather bags. Piping refers to the narrow, rounded edges that outline handbags, and it’s a common feature in many designer bags. Brands like Gucci, Chanel, Céline, Louis Vuitton, and many more use piping to add a refined touch to their designs.
What is the Piping Repair Process?
For this particular bag, there was a significant tear in the leather piping, but it was nothing the Bagsamoré team hadn’t seen before. To maintain the authenticity of the designer bag, we don’t replace the piping but instead focus on repairing the affected area.
Our piping repair service involves using specialist techniques and professional leather products. Not only do we restore the damaged piping, but we also repair the surrounding leather. Any missing leather is replaced with flexible leather fillers, and both the piping and surrounding area are carefully re-coloured to seamlessly match the original bag.
SUITABLE FOR:
- All handbags except Suede, Nubuck or Fabric
In addition, we recommend adding a colour restore service to restore the surrounding areas of the piping.
What is the Colour Restore Process?
We recommend our colour restoration service as it ensures that the areas surrounding the piping repair are seamlessly restored. This process is preferred because repairing, rather than replacing parts of the bag, helps retain its authenticity.
In the case of this Carolina Herrera bag, the leather had significant discolouration, which required a large area to undergo colour restoration. Discolouration can occur for a variety of reasons, including normal wear and tear, fading, or transfer from other fabrics or dyes.
Our colour restoration services range from small touch-ups to full colour revivals. We achieve this by using pigments or dyes meticulously matched to the original leather, ensuring a flawless result. This service includes colour matching, restoration, and a refinish to bring the leather back to its original glory.
SUITABLE FOR:
- Finished leather
- Aniline leather
- Lamb skin
- Calf skin
- Ostrich leather
- Snake/Python leather
- Crocodile leather
- Other exotic leathers
What are the Prices of the Services?
Piping Repair starts at $80.
Colour Work starts at $125.
