Bag & shoe repair for Bengaluru

Bengaluru sends us sneakers more than anything else — and the city’s damp months are hard on suede and white soles. We deep clean, de-yellow and restore, then courier the pair back.

Book a pickup

How it works from Bengaluru

  1. Send photographs on WhatsApp. The whole piece, and a close shot of whatever is wrong.
  2. We quote. A price and a timeline, before anything is collected.
  3. Courier pickup from your address — ₹250 anywhere in India, about 2–3 days each way to reach us.
  4. We photograph it on arrival and send you the pictures, so we both agree on its condition.
  5. The work is done in Mumbai by hand, and you get progress photos.
  6. It comes back to your door once the balance is paid.

If it is a sneaker, say so on WhatsApp and send a photo of the sole as well; that decides whether it is a clean or a sole job.

Which areas of Bengaluru we take work from

Everywhere, in practice — a courier is a courier. Most of our Bengaluru work comes from Indiranagar, Koramangala, Sadashivanagar, Jayanagar, Whitefield and UB City.

Questions from Bengaluru

Do you have a shop in Bengaluru?

No — we are one workshop in Andheri West, Mumbai, and that is deliberate: the same artisans do every piece. Your bag travels to us by courier and comes back to your door. Transit is about 2–3 days each way.

What does it cost to send it from Bengaluru?

₹250 covers courier pickup from anywhere in India outside our Mumbai area. The repair itself is quoted separately, from your photographs, before anything is collected.

How long will the whole thing take?

Around 8–10 days of work for most pieces, plus 2–3 days courier both ways. We confirm the timeline with your quote.

Is my bag safe in transit?

We use a tracked courier, we photograph your piece the moment it reaches us and again before it goes back, and you see both. If something is not right, you tell us before it leaves.

How do I pay from Bengaluru?

A payment link on WhatsApp — UPI, card or net banking. You pay after you have approved the quote, and the balance before the piece is returned.
