Leather Repairs.
Here at Evancliffe Leathercraft we can also give your old leather goods some TLC and help them last for many more years to come. We are also often asked to repair relatively new leather goods that have failed in some way. Repairs range from simply re-stitching a piece of leatherwork to making replacement leather pieces and / or sourcing replacement fittings.
At Evancliffe leathercraft we believe in hand stitching, so even if you bring a machine stitched item to us we will carefully repair it by hand ensuring the work we complete will last.
Leather repairs often start with a period of TLC to clean and refresh the original leather. Repairs will then commence once the existing leather that can be retained is in better condition.
Repairs are usually charged at £50.00 / hour and will include basic materials to carry out the repairs, however, if larger pieces of leather are required, or special fittings have to be ordered in, this may be at an extra cost. We will always provide an estimate on the repair before commencing.
If you’re contacting us about a potential repair we suggest you send a description and photos of the items BY EMAIL including details and close ups of the areas requiring repair to welcome@evancliffeleather.co.uk.
1930’s Case
We will also try and match as closely as possible the materials used. The new handle featured on this page was constructed from Veg Tan Leather and used components from the original case handle including the original rope used inside it, used to form the shape, and the original “D-Rings”. We matched the colour as closely as possible to the colour the handle had become during use and finally stitched it together using similar coloured thread.
This is just one example of the many repairs we have carried out for customers.
