With quality craftsmanship at its core, The Restory revives beloved accessories to ensure they have true staying power

DESIGNER BAGS AND shoes are investments that last a lifetime and can be passed down from generation to generation. Styles from storied luxury labels have never gone out of fashion – and never will – owing to the craftsmanship and heritage at their core.

In order to keep these treasures in mint condition, so you can wear them again and again, after-care is essential. The Restory repairs and revives leather goods through an on-demand service, which brings the team’s expertise to your doorstep. Consider it your wardrobe’s secret weapon.

Simply book a collection online anywhere in the world. Upon receiving your item in their atelier, the experts will assess the services your item needs, and provide you with a comprehensive quote for your approval. Once your favourite heel or handbag is restored and revived, you’ll have the joy of unwrapping the beautifully packaged item to fall in love with all over again.

Positive habits can be born out of a time of flux (the likelihood is we all took a long hard look at our wardrobe during lockdown), so take small steps to look after your prized possessions at home, too. A dust bag goes a long way to protecting leather goods; while buffing and conditioning with leather cream is nourishing. Meanwhile, old toothbrushes are the perfect DIY tool to lift dust and

dirt from suede items with gentle dry brushing before they’re ready for The Restory to breathe new life into them.

Caring for luxury accessories not only keeps your personal slice of fashion history alive, but also champions a sustainable approach to shopping – one that’ll help fashion advance towards a greener future.

What greater thrill is there than falling in love with your Chanel 2.55 bag again, all while knowing you’re contributing to the greater good? n Book a collection anywhere in the world today. Our couriers are providing non-contact collections and returns.
