Prada Galleria bag restoration
I sent my battered Prada Galleria bag to Clare for restoration and 6 weeks later it was returned looking brand new! Her work is beautiful, undetectable and very professional. I had shopped around and her prices are reasonable, especially given the quality of her work and turnaround time. I would highly recommend her, and will be using her services again.

This is my second restoration/repair with Clare. So helpful and managed to bring my travel companion, a Ralph Lauren leather backpack back into use after the strap broke.
Looks just as it did before.
My last restoration was a Mulberry with matching purse that needed some tlc.
Thoroughly recommend 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Excellent restoration
Excellent restoration carried out quickly.
I was impressed with the way Clare explained what she would be doing and how she kept me informed with photographs along the way. She very kindly also carried out extra work that was needed and made the bag look like new

Absolute wizardry!
Absolute wizardry!
Clare has such a talent that it amazes me.
As a lover of all things handbags it’s a godsend to have someone who can clean up and restore handbags. I have used THRC to extend my Chanel chain and also recently bought a preloved woc in need of a clean and it came back like it was brand new! Highly recommend!

Great service
I've sent Claire two bags to be refurbished and I've been really happy with how they turned out. I also sent her a bag strap to be repaired and again very pleased with the result. Work has always been completed to advised timescales. I wouldn't send bags anywhere else now.

Worth every penny
Worth every penny. My battered designer handbag is as good as new for the cost of a high street one. The customer service was excellent throughout the process and the work shows real craftsmanship.
A Wonderful Result
My Louis Vuitton limited edition bag was in an absolutely disgraceful condition (over 30 years old, and it looked even more ...) when I sent it to Clare. She carefully explained what she intended to do, and how long it would take. When I received the bag back, within the time she'd indicated, it was almost unrecognisable - the dedication and craftsmanship were evident absolutely throughout, most strikingly perhaps in the renovated leather piping around it. I could not have imagined it ever looking so good again, a wonderful result!

Give your bag a new lease of life!
Absolutely delighted with the tab repair Clare made to my vintage Celine Macadam Boston … she has perfectly colour- and quality-matched the leather, and the attention to detail on the stitching is spot on! The bag has a new lease of life and will be used for many more years to come.

Clare did a fantastic job with my handbag. She brought the leather back to life - it looks fresh and the colour has been fully restored. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Clare’s services.

Excellent service 👏
Excellent service by Clare,definitely will use again!
Excellent!
Excellent!! cannot recommend Clare and her team highly enough!
THRC restored a vintage Chanel flap bag for me which was worn and chain tarnished. The leather needed restoring in places. It has come back restored beyond my expectations, and another Chanel was cleaned and conditioned.
I was anxious about this as I have tried the Restory before and was not impressed. The process was seamless from initial quote, to payment to organising tracked and insured delivery. The communication was excellent and I can say, it was worth the expense.
I will definitely be using THRC again in the future.
Thank you!
Great communication with clear…
Great communication with clear recommendations. Great work collaborating on changing over the handle of my Dior Saddle Bag from short to long. Very happy customer and now have a bag to use instead of just looking at!!
Beautifully restored.
I had a scuff mark on a much loved Coccinelle bag and contacted Clare to see if THRC could help. She quickly replied with a full breakdown of options and costs and details of how to send the bag. I am so pleased I went ahead as my bag was returned ahead of the lead time quoted, beautifully packaged and restored to an incredible standard. Clare kept me informed by email throughout the process and is such a friendly lady. I highly recommend using THRC and would like to thank Clare and the team for their skill and professionalism. My bag has great sentimental value and I am delighted to be able to use it again.

Fantastic- thank you
I’m so sorry it’s taken me so long to write a review!
I sent 3 bags to the handbag restoration company and am SO pleased, they all look brand new! Thank you so much the service I received was fantastic. I would never buy new now knowing I could ask Clare to restore any handbag!

Thank you the team at THRC for repairing my prada bag after an attempted bag snatch. I’m so pleased with the repairs, it’s been completed at a very high quality and I cannot tell the difference. Thank you again!
