Patent Leather Restoration & Refurbishment
Patent's lacquered mirror finish — yellowing, sticking and micro-cracks addressed.

Patent leather behaves like no other surface — a lacquer coating over hide. We address its three failure modes: yellowing of the lacquer, panels stuck together in storage, and micro-cracks at corners and along straps. Restored to a near-original finish where the hide underneath is intact.

About Patent Leather Restoration & Refurbishment.
Patent is a lacquer over hide, with three failure modes: yellowing of the lacquer, panels stuck together in storage, and micro-cracks at corners and straps. We restore it to a near-original finish where the hide underneath is intact.
There's no fixed price list — the same work can cost differently on two bags from the same house, depending on the piece, the material and the damage we find. Send a photo on WhatsApp and we'll quote your actual piece.
Quoted on inspection — we tell you which areas are workable before committing to a timeline.
Past the micro-crack stage, patent can't be cleanly restored — once the hide has split through the lacquer, or panels have fused permanently, the surface is past intervention. Re-coated lacquer on aged hide may not sit identical to the original.
