The Repair Clinic

Give your favourite leather pieces a second life.

It's always better to repair quality products then bin them

Whether it’s a tired strap, popped stitching, a broken zip, or leather that’s looking dry and dull — I can repair mostl eather goods (within reason). Every item is different, so repairs are quote-only and I’ll always review your item first before confirming what’s possible.

Pricing and Turnaround

All repairs are quote-only. As a guide, repair costs start at £25/hour.

Turnaround times vary depending on:

  • The type/complexity of the repair
  • Current order workload
  • Festival/event schedule
  • Whether parts/materials need ordering

If you have a deadline, mention it in your message and I’ll tell you what’s realistic.

  • What I can help with

    Repairs I commonly offer include:

    • Stitching repairs
    • Hardware replacement
    • Strap shortening
    • Hole punching
    • Conditioning and leather refresh
    • Small tears
    • Small leather replacements/patches
    • Zip replacements

  • What I can't repair

    To keep quality and results high, I don’t take on:

    • Bonded leather
    • Heavy mould damage
    • Plastic-coated leather

    If you’re unsure what your item is made from, send photos and I’ll advise.

How it works

Online Customers

Because every repair is unique, the first step is a quick photo review.

  1. Email photos of your item (and tell me what’s wrong + what you’d like fixed)
  2. I’ll review and confirm whether I can repair it
  3. If it’s a yes, I’ll send you a quote and next steps
  4. You post the item to me (UK only)
  5. I repair it and post it back to you

Repair Clinics at festivals

You’ll also find The Repair Clinic at selected festivals.

Depending on the repair (and the equipment I have with me), I can offer:

  • While-you-wait mini repairs
  • Drop off + collect later for small repairs
  • If I can’t complete it on-site, you can leave it with me and I’ll repair it in the workshop and post it back to you once completed

If you’re coming to a festival and want to check in advance, email me with photos — I’ll let you know what’s possible.

Leather care matters

And I can help with that too

Repairs are only half the story — good care keeps leather looking better for longer.

I also have my own Luxury Leather Care Kit, designed to keep full-grain leather soft, supple, and protected.

The right order (it matters)

To properly care for leather, use the products in order:

  1. Clean
  2. Condition
  3. Protect

There’s no point protecting leather that’s already dirty and dry — it needs cleaning and conditioning first.

What’s in the Luxury Leather Care Kit

A complete 3-step system for keeping your treasured pieces looking beautiful for years to come:

  • 2-in-1 Conditioning Cleaner: gently cleanses while nourishing, helping keep leather soft and supple
  • Luxury Leather Conditioner: a creamy liquid formula that feeds and protects most leather types (not suitable for suede or nubuck), helping prevent premature ageing and colour fading
  • Leather & Fabric Protector: a water-based spray that creates an invisible, flexible shield against spills and stains without changing how your items look or feel

No nasties: pH neutral, silicone-free, and made without harsh chemicals or colourants.
