Recycling a Special Piece

Giving a whole new life to a treasured handbag piece will cost approximately a quarter of the price of buying a new Chanel, Birkin or Kelly. The bag can be painted with a new design such as these by our favourite artist Janan from Janan Studio. Many layers of the special leather paint have to be applied with extraordinary care. The bags have to be cleaned and polished and recoloured in their base colour before the design is applied, then they are varnished to achieve a lasting shine.

A bag can be repainted with amazing success. This ostrich Fuschia Birkin (shown above), costing £27,000, was accidentally stained with oil in a restaurant. It was given a new life with this beautiful design by Janan from Janan Studio. A similar design in black is shown below:

The other option is to recolour (completely repaint) Hermes Birkins, Kellies, or Chanel treasured pieces with a new design. This is a new venture which we love. It works especially well with pale colours.
