I recently used Up Cycle Story’s color restoration and buffing services for my Aldo shoes, and the experience was fantastic! I was prepared to expire my shoes and buy new one but the upcycle story made my shoes as good as new. Totally worth it!!

Excellent job with repair of my bag. The chain was not working properly. They replaced the chain which even the showroom guys were not able to do. Highly recommend them for repair of premium bags. The charges are also very reasonable.

Got the handle of my Ferragamo bag changed, and some retouch paint on surface where lip material came off. Was surprised that the handle and lil other stuff was just ₹2500! 🤩 Good work, damn reasonably priced

I had an amazing experience with The Upcycle Store in Mumbai! They restored my biker group’s shoes to perfection, making them look brand new with incredible attention to detail. I also got a leather touch-up for my traveler bag, and it’s never looked better. The price they charged was nothing compared to the exceptional value delivered—truly worth every penny! The team is professional, skilled, and passionate about their work. Highly recommend The Upcycle Store for anyone wanting to revive their leather goods! Thank you for the fantastic job!

The upcycle story not only gave my Aldo bag a new lease of life, but also give me a lot of tips and tricks to take care of my bags.
They're extremely good and what they do at prices that are very reasonable.
I loved my experience with them as a customer and highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to give their bag a luxurious treatment without paying an exorbitant price 🙂

i have used many services of "The Upcycle Story" particularly full color coat is amazing. At Rs 600 i got a full new color done of my old shoe and looked like new shoes now.. highly recommend everyone..
Sandeep Gupta
I gave my Aldo sandals for restoration. The material was damaged in few l=places and looked lil old. After restoration, it looked fab ! I got the entire thing done for Rs. 1800! Nano leather protect is must do for your new bag.

Had a decent experience with Upcycle, there were a few hiccups in the process of getting my bag repaired , mostly mechanical damage .. the team was reasonably understanding and helped me through the process and fixed the issues..
