All services →Louis Vuitton bag repair & restoration
Monogram and Damier canvas, Vachetta leather handles, edges that crack. We restore Louis Vuitton bags in Mumbai, with free pickup and drop.
We have restored a Louis Vuitton bag sent to us from the UK.
What we fix on Louis Vuitton bags
- Vachetta handles darkened or water-stained
- Cracked or peeling edge paint on handles and straps
- Worn corners on Speedy, Neverfull and Keepall
- Canvas cracking at folds and creases
- Sticky or stained lining
- Tarnished hardware and broken zip pulls
Before you try anything at home
- Never use quick-fix glue. Superglue-type glue hardens the top layer of the bag and then pulls it clean off the surface. It turns a small repair into a big one.
- Never stick peeling edge colour back down. It will lift again. Once edge colour starts coming off, the edge has to be stripped and rebuilt properly, in layers, so it stays.
- Never rub or scrub fungus. Rubbing spreads it and damages the material. Mould needs a proper anti-fungal treatment, then cleaning and conditioning.
- No heat, no strong solvents on coated canvas or coated leather. The thin coating can lift or crack, and once it lets go the panel can open up.
- Never wash a jute bag with its handles on. White and off-white jute is glued inside. Water pulls the glue through and the bag dries dirtier, and the leather or PVC handles soak up water they cannot take. Handles come off first, then the jute is cleaned.
- No household cleaners or alcohol wipes. They strip colour and dry the leather out. Wipe with a soft dry cloth and let us do the rest.

Care at home
- Fight the damp. A dehumidifier in the cupboard works well. Or silica gel packets on the shelf, outside the bag, never stuffed inside it.
- Store it upright, in its dust bag. Stuff it lightly with tissue so it keeps its shape. Never hang it by the handles.
- Let it breathe. Not in a plastic cover, and not shut away for months. Take it out now and then.
- Keep chains and hardware wrapped. So they do not press marks into the leather.
- Empty it before storing. Pens, receipts and make-up leave marks that set in.
When a bag is beyond repair
The hardware and the good leather on most luxury bags are still excellent. We can turn them into a wallet, a card holder or a smaller bag — and even a branded shopping bag can be made into something you will use. Recreation & make new →

Questions
What does pickup and drop cost?
Free anywhere in Mumbai. Thane / Navi Mumbai / Panvel: ₹150. Outside Mumbai, anywhere in India: ₹250 by courier, both ways.
Can darkened Vachetta handles be made light again?
Cleaning lifts dirt and evens out stains. The honey colour that comes with age is part of the leather and cannot be fully reversed; if you want them pale again, the handles are remade in matching leather.
Is it safe to clean Louis Vuitton canvas?
Yes, done the right way: no heat and no strong solvents, because the coating is thin.
Do you fix cracked edges on LV straps?
Yes. The old edge paint is stripped and rebuilt in layers, colour-matched to the strap. Sticking the old paint back does not last.
Are you an authorised Louis Vuitton service centre?
No. We are an independent restoration studio in Andheri West, Mumbai. Louis Vuitton is named only to say which bags we work on.
