Excellent experience
Excellent experience. Clear communication throughout. Quoted a competitive price with no hidden extras. Would definitely recommend.
Amazing Service
Clare was so helpful & fixed my LV Deauville's broken handle strap to perfection. The service was truly excellent throughout with clear communication & photos of the finished refurb before it was sent back to me on a next day delivery service. My refurb service was also quicker than initially quoted. I couldn't ask for more & I'm absolutely thrilled to have my bag back. The return packaging is also lovely. Thank you so much Clare, highly recommended xx

Was a pleasure to deal with Clare from start to finish. The restoration work on my bag was of the highest quality. Clare is skilled and clearly cares passionately about the work she does.
East West Mulberry.
I sent my East West Mulberry bag to the Handbag Restoration Company as the four corners had worn away. The repair was amazing and the bag looks like it did when I bought it. Great communication throughout the process. This is the second bag I have had repaired and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this company. 5 star service without a doubt.

Absolutely delighted with my newly restored handbag. Fantastic customer service and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Can’t recommend them highly enough
Mulberry bag looks like new!
THRC restored my much loved Mulberry bag with such love that it really looks like new. I could not recommend them more.
Exceptional job repairing a Gucci bag
Exceptional job repairing a Gucci bag. Updated throughout the process. Very honest, the way the lining was fitted had to change once they received the bag but the price didn’t change. Kept to the time scale. Highly recommend.
Amazing company with outstanding customer service
Amazing company with outstanding customer service. Clare clearly loves to restore bags to their former glory. I needed the lining replaced in my Prada handbag as it was degrading at a rate of knots! She was quick to respond. Gave me advice of what I needed and options. The turnaround was quoted as 12 weeks, however, it was returned to me in less than half that time and the bag lining is beautiful. I would recommend and wouldn't use anyone else to repair my bags in the future. Thank you Clare and your team!
Chanel Deauville bag repair
My cloth Chanel Deauville bag had damaged corners and the leather handle was also damaged. Chanel themselves refused to repair it, which was really disappointing. I searched high and low for a reputable restoration company, but most either had terrible reviews or simply weren’t willing to take the job on. Then I came across THRC! Their glowing reviews were incredibly reassuring, especially when you’re entrusting someone with a high-value item you truly cherish. From the very beginning, their team was polite, professional, and easy to deal with. The process of sending the bag to them was simple and I felt reassured that it was safe. The entire process was straightforward and stress-free.
I was absolutely thrilled with the repair, it was better than I imagined possible. I wouldn’t hesitate to use THRC again or to recommend them to anyone looking to breathe new life into a beloved piece. So impressed!
Excellent

Cannot thank Clare and team enough for repairing my much loved Mulberry.
From the start they made the process really simple and answered all my questions.
I was lucky the turned my bag around much quicker than expected and sent me loads of pictures of the before and after.
Bag was returned promptly and packaged really well.
I can’t recommend The Handbag restoration company more! I will 100% use in future.
Thanks again Clare
Absolutely thrilled with the results on…
Absolutely thrilled with the results on my LV black epi felice pochette. I had asked for the LV logo to be painted to give the bag a pop of colour. Something so simple has elevated the appearance so much.
The whole process was seamless from receiving the quotation to the return of my bag. I was kept informed throughout. Superb service and would definitely recommend this company. Thank you ☺️
Vintage Chanel beautifully restored!
Having read all the positive reviews I bit the bullet and trusted Clare with my 1980’s vintage Chanel Mini flap bag. I had requested the hardware including chain be re-plated, the internal logo restored and cleaning of external leather. Quotation was 6-8 weeks, however to my total surprise was returned in 2 weeks in absolute beautiful condition. Thank you so much 🥰
Absolutely Superb Service.
Absolutely Superb Service.
Clare over the years has repaired my Mulbery Mitzy & My Louis Vuitton Babylone .
I would never trust anyone else with my bags.
A superb star!
1980s Chanel Back to Life!
Clare beautifully resorted my 1980s vintage Chanel bag to its former glory! While I originally intended to simply have the bag cleaned and conditioned, once it had arrived with Clare, it was advised a colour touch up would help restore its beauty. I went ahead, and so pleased I did!
While quoted 4-6 weeks, turnaround time, my bag was back within 2 weeks beautifully packaged.
Thanks so much Clare
What a brilliant restoration
I am overjoyed with the restoration work carried out on our White Mini Lady Dior bag. The service has been flawless in every way and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Handbag Restoration Company. I run a handbag rental company ( BagButler) so having an expert in this field is essential to us.
Outstanding craftsmanship, quality of service, fairly priced and fast delivery
I had an A.P.C. Demi Lune whose chain handle broke off and the attachment needed replacing. I was researching various handbag restoration services, and found the landscape a mixed bag when it comes to reliability, quality and price. I even took my bag at an A.P.C. store for a quote from A.P.C. themselves, but the repair team never came back to me. Luckily, I discovered THRC, which felt fairly priced with genuinely good reviews. Clare did an amazing job repairing my bag and I'm so thrilled that she gave it another chance at life. Her attention to detail and craftsmanship were outstanding, with clear communication and photos throughout the entire process, as well as fast turnaround and delivery. Highly recommended!

Clare did an amazing job on my 34 year old leather tote bag. It had travelled everywhere with me and is very precious. She recognised this and carried out a skilful and systematic renovation. I am so pleased and extremely happy with the results. Thank you Clare.
I’ve followed on Instagram for a while…
I’ve followed on Instagram for a while now and been really impressed with the transformation of the bags being restored. I can only say that the transformations are better in real life, I sent 3 items for repair/cleaning.
A Chanel Flap bag that had faded so badly on the front with the sun it looked grey not Navy Blue, but it’s now back to its original colour only better, I also sent a purse to have the zip to be replaced and you cannot see the difference, the stitching is impeccable, and my daughters red card holder that was dirty,
She was so impressed with the transformation all of the greasy marks gone and the colour restored.
Anyone thinking if using this company I would highly recommend it, Clare’s work is exceptional .
