Fantastic job!

You do a great job

Seriously Christina Critch I know I keep tagging you here but OMFG look at this!

To buy superbly crafted boots and not immediately put Topy soles on to protect them, just amazes me. They are so lovely.

Beautiful

Why would you get your Prada boots to such a state!!!

Valentino Rockstuds Colour Change

We received a stunning pair of Valentino high heels that our customer wanted a colour change from orange and nude to black. 

Jenny worked meticulously to achieve the desired classic black colour. 

Although the original colour was beautiful, the updated classic colour offers greater versatility, and were sure that our customer will enjoy them for many more years. 

Additionally, weve also added protective soles that not only prevent damage to the soles but also eliminate slippery heels.

I love Valentinos 💕 Amazing job.

Superb work

Stunning 🤩 Still loved the orange tho!!

Fantastic work 👏👏

Great prescion around the details! Well done! 😍

Beautiful photography

Heavens I would have kept them orange. Beautiful!

Beautiful shoes 👠, I have a few pairs which I want to sell as well 😊

Do you shorten heals ? I have the same Valentinos but are too high. Thanks in advance

These look beautiful. How long would you expect the black colour to last before it peels or wrinkles?

All the years I worked in the CBD I would always take my shoes to be repaired at Evans.

Wow amazing

Do I need to make an appointment to come in and show you my LV Artsy bag?It has a hole near a seam that needs repairing 🤞

You spruced up a beautiful pair of shoes from Herman’s for my wedding in 1980. They were comfortable and worn, and even though I had bought a new pair for my wedding, I opted for these old ones. You made them look like new. I still remember the quality of your work. Are you still run by the same family?

Hi, how much did u charge to change the colour of these shoes?

They look faburlosso

You see these everywhere on all kinds of legs they are so generic and unattractive

Louboutin red sole restoration

The original soles were quite worn down so we re-contoured the soles and added leather (notice the darker portions of the soles near the toes). We needed to custom match the red dye and apply several layers to permanently restore the finish.

Louboutin Red Sole Restoration

We had the pleasure of restoring a pair of Christian Louboutin Black Loafers back to  their original condition.

Over time, these classic loafers had experienced some wear and tear. Luke, expertly performing a color touch-up, ensuring the black hue was restored.

Additionally, the damaged toes were carefully fixed up to restore their sleek appearance. And, of course, the signature red soles were repainted to their original vibrant shade.

Now, these Christian Louboutin Black Loafers are back to a like-new condition and ready for many more years of use.

That’s a fantastic refurb! ❤️

superb

Nice work

Amazing

Glad to see you still here in Victoria.

Saving your page in case we need some leather work done.

We, as a population, need to return to the practice of having worn shoes etc., repaired rather than discarded. I love having found this site.

What the heck? It’s 2024, who is Christian Louboutin? Ask anyone living an average life, let alone below or just above the poverty line. It’s just obscene
