Bottega Veneta Handbag restoration

We received this beautiful Bottega Veneta handbag, that had signs of wear and tear, and some of the braided leather needed repair.

One of the main issues that can arise with braided leather is the potential for the individual links or strands to become damaged over time. Whether its from regular use, accidental snags, or exposure to the elements, the delicate leather can start to fray, loosen, or even break. These damages can affect the overall appearance of your bag and, in severe cases, compromise its structural integrity.

Early detection of issues like fraying or loosening links can prevent further damage and make repairs more manageable. 

Jenny patched the areas where the leather was damaged and frayed and finalised the work by doing a restorative clean and a colour retouch, making sure that the colour matched with the original colour of the bag.

Celine handbag restoration

We received this tan Celine handbag with marks and stains on the leather.
Jenny performed a restorative clean and a colour retouch, carefully matching it with the original tan colour, to bring the bag to a like-new condition.

Daily use, such as constant handling and placing bags on different surfaces, accidental spills of liquids like coffee, wine, or makeup can leave stains.
Environmental factors, such as exposure to sunlight, rain, and humidity, can lead to discolouration and water stains, while natural oils from our hands and body lotions can transfer onto the leather, causing dark spots.

Regular care and maintenance help prevent and minimise these issues.

Bottega Veneta handbag colour change

We received this beautiful Bottega Veneta bag for a colour change.
Our customer loved the bag; however, they wanted a colour change to make it more versatile. 
They requested a shift from cream/white to a French navy colour to match their leather jacket, which they left with us for reference. 
Jenny performed a colour change, ensuring it matched the jackets tone. 
The transformation is remarkable, with the bag now showcasing a beautiful new navy hue.

That is a beautiful bag.

This beautiful Gucci Disco handbag came to us with damaged strap loops that needed to be recrafted. It presented with some general wear and tear, especially around the corners. 
Luke recrafted the leather loops, and Jenny performed a restorative clean and colour refinishing, making sure to match the original colour. 
This handbag is now not only restored to a like-new condition but also fully functional again.

Hermes satchel restoration.

Today, we take a look behind the scenes at our workshop, showcasing the work done by Jenny and Gideon in restoring a vintage Hermes Satchel. This beautiful vintage Hermes bag came to us with mould, leather discolouration, and the strap was missing. It was in need of a complete restoration.

Jenny cleaned and performed a colour refinishing, matching the original black tone of the bag. Gideon waxed and resealed the raw edges and recrafted a new strap with clips and loops.

Outstanding major repair on my English shoes of a legendary name, I get the feeling that the soles will be more durable than the previous repairs in London as the soles are German leather. The finish is superior to the factory repairs in London . Thank you.

My beautiful red handbag broke when I overloaded it. The hardwear gave - a stud pulling through, with 2 cuts through the leather and a large graze. That and the wear of me hauling it around the world with me - it's my favourite. The repair is spectacular. It looks new (ish). The hardwear was perfectly matched, the tears repaired with only the tiniest scar in one instance (really unnoticeable) and the bag cleaned. Was it cheap - no. Was the customer service/experience good - it was fantastic. Was my $3,000 bag restored beautifully - it absolutely was. Was it worth it - hell yes! I cannot recommend Zoe and the team highly enough.

I 100% recommend this place. They have been around for ages and have a magnificent reputation that is well deserved. They revamped a little Chanel bag I had and did such a wonderful job...its like a new bag all over again...I'm very very grateful:-). Zoe is the perfect meet and greet front person...and a wiz sewer I have found out as she helped do my bag. Keep it up guys, and thanks again!

Fantastic service! Evans were able to repair a broken lock on my precious designer bag that my late mother had given me. It meant so much to receive it back in pristine condition. Thank you Evans.

Dear Zoe, I apologise for not replying earlier. The jacket is magnificent, the workmanship is extroadinary and I am so happy that something I treasure has been remade, so to speak, as new. I must congratulate you and your staff on an excellent job, not only in the workmanship, but in the professionalism your business has shown through keeping a client informed of the jacket progress. I will advocate your business to others and show them the jacket, which speaks for itself as a remarkable item of craftmanship with care and attention to detail to make it ' original '. Best of wishes to you and the staff. Bruce Donnelly Tamworth NSW

Every few years I bring my shoes here for a rejuvenation. It costs the same or perhaps more than they cost to buy in the first place - but they come out sparkling, seams fixed, soles new, colour patched, little scratches gone. It’s a pleasure to have a place like Evans where craftsmen are paid decently to do good work and prolong the life of our objects (and make our feet happy),

The team at Evans are magic makers…we have used them on several occasions (puppy damage x 3 shoes) & the repairs & service are more than exceptional …have also used there service for stretching on sneakers & they are amazing …they deserve more than 5++++ stars

Evans' repairs to my loved but worn handbag has restored it back to life. Exceptional workmanship and great service in a historic location.

Absolute rip-off! Go elsewhere. My CK backpack needed to be repaired; literally a couple of stitches on one of the straps (as seen in the photo). Evans quoted me $250!! That's almost what I paid for the bag itself, for a few stitches! I ended up going to Cobbleron who fixed it for $55 😂

Excellent service, I paid $35 to re-heel some vintage pointed toe mules which were extremely badly damaged.

The woman working at the front desk is very knowledgeable and helpful too.

Took a jacket in for some simple seam repairs- staff were nice but I couldn't believe the estimate I was given, so left it for a formal quote. A few days later they confirmed, $450.00. Took the jacket back and found a local place, who did the same work plus some inside pocket fixing for $90.00, and it's a great job. Evans are nice people, and handy to my workplace, but I won't bother trying them again.

I found Evans on line. I live in Brisbane and they are based in Melbourne. The whole experience was so easy. I emailed them and they responded . We corresponded back and forth with queries. All were answered promptly. They shipped a box to me with all address labels and packaging for my shoes. Once they completed my shoes, they shipped it back to me in a very well packaged box. The shoes were back to new, and they went above and beyond to what I expected. Would go back there in a second for any future repairs.

Went there with a pair of boots perfect in every way - the kind of investment pair you know you're going to be wearing for years and years - but for the colour, which was too light for my liking. The person at the counter (sorry, I didn't catch her name) informed me of the (admittedly pricey) cost for dyeing the leather, but took the time to explain cheaper, DIY options. I didn't feel confident I could pull it off so I decided to bite the bullet, but I appreciate I wasn't pressured to go for the expensive option. During the process Evans texted me a picture to make sure this is what I wanted, so I was kept in the loop. I just came back from collecting the boots and couldn't be happier - the colour is just what I wanted and it has a lovely, natural-looking patina (see before and after). Quality work, totally worth it! thank you to all involved :)

They quoted me $1500 to fix some very minor/tiny scuffs on my Chanel bag. I sent the bag to them in March. They sent it back a month later and had half done the bag. They discoloured the gold colour on the bag so I sent it back to them again to fix it - now its been 3 months, I still have no bag and I feel sick to the stomach they ruined my gorgeous Chanel bag & I have heard nothing from them. Wouldnt recommend.

I had high expectations due to the reviews, but got disappointed. They were fixing my satin toes and in the process had messed up the colour so significantly the shoes looked entirely different and still tried to give them back to me had I not insisted of them being fixed again. Eventually after 3 months they refurbished the shoe but left glue residue and pencil marks on the satin. I was tired of arguing so I took the shoe home. Very disappointed as they seemed very professional.

I can't tell you how happy I am with the service I received at Evans. They have just re-dyed a Balenciaga bag I bought a number of years ago and it looks almost brand new. The colour match was going to be difficult because it was a smoky blue but they managed to match the colour perfectly. The service was friendly, efficient and very professional. I would definitely recommend them and use them again.

The customer service at Evans has been good. They were responsive, fielded my questions, and were flexible about options fixing my bag. The whole process (enquiry, to sending my bag over, having it examined, deciding on the work to be done, and having it returned) took over a month so if urgent repair is needed it should be requested at the outset. I was really impressed with the quality when my bag was returned to me. My bag had a strap broken and they crafted a new strap which was identical to the old one. I am now able to use my beloved bag again! Therefore I highly recommend their service.

I just walked past, but it looked nice

I took a few items into Evans including 2 designer sneakers that had so much wear and tare I had stopped wearing them. When I received the sneakers back they looked like I just purchased them from the store! I was beyond amazed! I also had a pair of Chanel wedding shoes I had bought to wear at my wedding at the end of the month but the shoe strap was giving me excruciating pain & I couldn’t figure out why as the shoes fit perfectly and the strap wasn’t too tight! As soon as I took them into Evans they assessed the problem and told me that they need to loosen the strap to allow me to have that give as the strap was sitting too low on my foot - mind you they’re saying so it was a little risky as glue stains cannot be cleaned off the satin! When I received my shoes and put my feet into them I couldn’t stop crying from happiness! I thought I was going to have to change my shoes as they were so uncomfortable & with the wedding so close it was very distressing, but Evans made it work & I’m forever grateful!

I can’t recommend Evans enough !! I had leather Vachetta trim replaced on my vintage LV bag & it looks like new . The communication was faultless & so simple . The process from postage interstate to receiving my bag took just over a week . Recommend Evans 100%

Top notch quality / customer service & overall experience - These guys have to be the best in Melbourne for sure! Old school principles around customer service & quality of their product & care - Yes it may be a higher investment than other repairers, but it reflects itself in the overall experience received. I will never go anywhere else!

A M A Z I N G! Got my sole fixed in no time and good as new. The staff is professional and friendly. I am glad that I found this wonderful local legend.

Brought in a much loved and rare Gucci bag I’ve had for a long time that was in need of rejuvenation after almost daily use for 5-6 years. The interior fabric lining was rather stained (a rogue strawberry) and the exterior piping and base of the bag were beginning to wear and fray. Minor scratches and marks to the leather generally. I’d taken the bag to Gucci who had quoted $890 to recondition the bag inside and out and replace the interior in full which was to take 3-4 months for the work to be done at their workshops in Italy (COVID still prolonging lead times). I’m sure Gucci would’ve done a good job but I looked locally to see what I could get done here. Royal Bag Spa quoted $740 and a 6 week turnaround. Then I went to Evans, recommended by a friend. The staff there are very pleasant and informative; they were able to offer a quote of $450 for the work and a turnaround of 7 days! They explained that the interior would be washed with a special solution, rather than replaced, and that should remove most of the staining. If not we could look to get it replaced for additional charge. I picked up my bag a week later and the bag looks like the day I bought it! No scratches, piping repaired beautifully, and new wax borders applied to the handles. The interior was looking a lot better, though some of the more stubborn stains remained, but I was prepared for that being the case and was glad to accept the bag as it was. They had also waterproofed the bag which has a 6 month guarantee. All in all, great service, remarkably quick work, and exceptionally friendly and personable staff in a very handsome shop full of tradition and excellence. Will definitely be going back for all my leather work. Thank you to the team at Evans!

Have a pair of very comfortable well made shoes. The original soles were more suited to soft surfaces and less than daily walking. These old crepe rubber soles that had seen the end and needed replacing. The replacement soles, while expensive, are terrific and the workmanship in replacing the soles was top notch (see photo). I do believe I will get another handful of years out of these shoes and the will continue to get move comfortable with time :-)

I had another experience from another place. So my bag wasn’t 100% either was I. But from the moment from emailing my quote I felt confident it would get fixed properly. They know their stuff. Drop off I was felt even more better, and when I picked my bag up she (haha) looked brand new I’m so happy and I was literally thinking the bag was not repairable. I will now be going to Evans for all my bag needs!!! Anyone that has handbag or shoes or leather issues/cleaning this is your go to!!! Thankyou Evans again, you will definitely see me again!!!!

My shoes were re-coloured, as one had faded in the store window prior to purchase. The end result is beautiful. I was kept in the loop via text concerning how the job was progressing. All up, a very satisfactory outcome. I recommend Evans.

Fantastic work by the craftspeople at Evans! I had a damaged R. M. Williams wallet that I wanted repaired as I love it to death, and they repaired it and gave it back to me better than new!! Service was quick and professional. Would recommend to anyone who wants excellent repair work done on their leather goods.

I do not usually give written reviews but I felt strongly about this one. I went to the store and requested metal toe pieces be inserted on my thrice worn RM Williams. I was served by Jen (not sure of her name) who condescendlingly replied that I should have come before the shoe had been worn. Despite this and the hefty $120, I persisted with the order due to their allegedly superior workmanship. When I arrived to pick up my shoes, I was handed shoes with protective soles and NO toe pieces by Desi (a different store clerk). When I said that it was not what I had asked for I was met with a blank stare and a response of "I don't know what to say", no offer of a refund was given. She promptly left the counter to go upstairs, possibly to escalate the issue although she did not tell me this. I stood there for several minutes and was so annoyed I just left with my shoes. What irks me most is that this business justifies its high prices with claims of providing superior customer satisfaction but they couldn't even get my order correct. The workmanship wasn't anything beyond what I'd have gotten from my regular cobbler in terms of the protective soles. What an absolute joke. Just go to a regular cobbler.ADDIT:This issue was resolved in a quick and efficient manner by support staff at Evans.

Excellent, fast and professional turn around. Don’t waste your time or money going anywhere else!

My three year old Balenciaga City Bag was looking worse for wear. The stitching had frayed on the handles and the lovely blue colour had faded. I dropped off my bag to Evans and picked it up under 4 weeks later. It has been restored to its beautiful blue colour and the stitching has been repaired perfectly. It also has been carefully cleaned. My bag looks brand new. I would highly recommend and trust Evans for any designer leather goods that need repair. Pricing is at a premium but is justified by the high quality of their work and friendly service. Thank you Evans !

Excellent repair, even though tricky, and professional and friendly customer service.

Evans wanted to charge me $65 to repair a strap for my bag... for a single brass rivet and about 10 seconds of hammering. On top of that, if I wanted it done that day I had to pay an extra $25. Save your money and go to Max's instead. Same job for 5 bucks, done on the spot.

Over 30 years ago, as a teenager I inherited a custom made pair of cowboy boots from my father..I've worn them continuously on countless adventures and misadventures and loved them dearly.. But they were dirty, really dirty and showed their age.As a prime example of the merit of buying quality once I figured they deserved to be restored properly and professionally. Enthused by words such as, cleaned, nourished and restored I agreed to most every option and paid over $1000..(!!)While dirty and scuffed the boots carried a patena that told a story. Retaining the character was specifically discussed, with reference in particular to the top of the boots that were beautifully uneven but natural and not as worn.I'll skip the bit about it taking over 5 weeks longer than told and the weekly request for updates. Then told they were posted and seemingly lost in the post. (tracking code registered as delivered but didn't turn up until over a week later).So when they finally arrived I was beside myself with excitement and relief that they weren't lost in transit..When I opened them I pretty much just wanted to have a bit of a cry.I feel like I've sent an antique timber table off for beeswax and oil restoration and they've said..Here you go we painted it Brown.A thick layer of matt baby-poo brown to be exact...Instead of telling the story of life it looks like a pair of cheap and nasty probably fake leather boots..I don't even know what to say to them. I actually wonder whether it was deliberate punishment for 'harassing' them with weekly requests for updates after the due date ..I had a bit of trouble finding a before shot, but what do you think, $1000 to change this to that?There's a picture of the inside of the boot where you can see the beautiful original fawn tones of the leather...UPDATE - To be fair they are trying to contact me, but I just don't know what to say to them.I'm not saying don't use this company, they're clearly good at some things. Just make sure you have your expectations matched to what they can and can't do. We did discuss the patina and character of the leather before hand so I'm confused about the comments on dying now. I was under the impression the dying before after would look more like the jacket on their website examples.My disappointment is that it looks more like thick paint that what I imagine as 'dye'. Up close it barely looks like real leather. I thought nourished and hydrated would improve the leather from within and dyeing would be a rich polish like finish. It just isn't.The boots were dilapidated, and maybe in trying to make them look 'new' an ugly masking approach was taken. But we talked in detail about the boots, I never expected to look new, I just wanted them to last longer and look more presentable, faults and all.Had they checked in with me at points along the way and given me input on options we might have had a different outcome. Because the outcome does not reflect the original discussions we had.I won't address the delays (got the email trail) as that is a secondary issue, but suffice to say it was substantially longer than every indication along the way.UPDATE 2Discussion have progressed and Jenny is genuinely intent to make good. The boots have been sent back after long discussions and recap of what was actually expected. I can commend them on their positive attitude towards the issue and lack of defensive mindset.I'm changing my rating from 1 to 3 in anticipation of a good second attempt.FINAL UPDATE - To their credit they took them back and did a solid job of restoring them to the way that was discussed and expected. It was a traumatic experience, but they do have the skills. I'd jut make sure that your wants and expectations are outlined precisely in the first instance.

thanks - always rescuing my jackets. not the cheapest repair place in melbourne but the best.

Bought 2 pairs of RM Williams and without compromise to quality both pairs had protective soles put on them .The quality of workmanship was outstanding, the staff were really friendly and helpful and the system of customer notification faultless.Also has my daughters baby shoes bronzed here a few months ago - don’t think there is anywhere else in Melbourne that does this - fabulous result .My family has used Evans since the. 1960’s when the original Evan was their neighbour and we could drop off in Noth Caulfield . Could not recommend more highly after nearly 60 years of being a customer.

The quality of craftsmanship at Evans is unequalled. Be prepared to pay for this level of quality. A loved leather bag I'd previously had repaired destroyed the handle. Evans repaired it to the original state with a stronger handle.
