Clean, Restore and Give New Life to Your Handbag

With the need to reduce the depletion of our planet’s resources, and the exorable rise in the cost of luxury goods, keeping a handbag in great condition, or restoring life to a worn item, no longer belongs to the realm of thrifty and careful shoppers, but is a habit we must all embrace.

Having cleaned, repaired and restored bags for years we have tried lots of different services, and believe we have found the best specialists.

The Basic Handbag Cleaning Service includes:

  • Cleaning of the entire handbag
  • Wiping the dust and removing dirt – outside and inside
  • Polishing of the hardware – in order to remove scratches and increase the shine
  • Cleaning with a special cream – inside & out, to help remove any more stubborn marks
  • Leather Conditioning – keeping it supple and protecting against staining and cracking
  • Polishing and buffing the leather – to make it look beautiful again
  • Price from : £90
  • Turnaround Time: Standard service: 2-4 weeks

Handbag Restoration & Repair Service

Handbag restoration is a highly skilled and time-consuming job. And when attempting to repair and restore top designer bags like Hermes, Gucci and others, mistakes simply cannot be made. That’s why its so important only to trust your cherished bags, and expensive investments to a recognised specialist, with extensive experience of how to properly recover a bag from ageing, wear or accidental damage.

Over the years, LilacBlue have tried lots of different services offering to clean, repair and restore bags. Ultimately, we believe we have found the best specialists.

Handbag restoration and repair can involve either just light restoration,  or, more significant, enhanced restoration. Or very often, somewhere between. That’s why it’s important to talk to us first and tell us what you’d like to achieve, and we can draw up a plan of work and a price. To give you some idea of what might be included and what sort of costs to expect:
