What our Customers Think

Here is some of the feedback we have received from customers.

Absolutely thrilled. I sent my 17 yr old LV handbag to have a shoulder strap attached. The new strap is an almost perfect match to the existing handles, even the stitching is the same. Will absolutely use them again and highly recommend them.

Hayley, Sydney

So, so good from initial contact to the return of my bag. Really excited to open the box and see the repair work. Cannot fault the entire process and workmanship!

Linda, Sunshine Coast

I had the best experience from the start to the end of the process. SoleHeeled was both professional and a very personable business, would definitely reuse the service if there is any other issues occur to my bags.

Looking for a Louis Vuitton bag repair?

There is no substitute for an authentic Louis Vuitton bag. The laborious craft of making one involves a level of impeccable intricacy that elevates Louis Vuitton's bags well above the multitude of mass-produced counterfeits. These cheap imitations seek to take advantage of the brand's global reputation, as one of the foremost luxury fashion houses, but none truly come close to passing the test of time or the discerning eyes of a real Louis Vuitton fan.

While intricately made from sturdy materials, including the brand's iconic monogram canvas, LV bags are far from indestructible. The fresh vachetta leather is supposed to naturally develop a patina over time, but the bags eventually start to show signs of deterioration. For example, the vachetta leather may start cracking / tearing, the inner linings might disintegrate, the canvas and zippers might tear, and the straps or handles might become dark and greasy.

But do not be tempted to believe that your worn Louis Vuitton bag is necessarily destined for landfill, along with the money you spent on it and the memories you have made with it. Minor damage can often be taken care of with a straightforward Louis Vuitton repair service, while bags in various states of disrepair can be revitalised with a professional Louis Vuitton restoration service.

Why you should use SoleHeeled for your Louis Vuitton repair

Decades of experience

We have been repairing and restoring designer bags since 1955. Over decades, our craftsmen have developed the experience and know-how to give your Louis Vuitton bags the special attention they deserve. For example:

  • If you are looking for a Louis Vuitton strap replacement, then we can craft and install a new leather strap based on the original Louis Vuitton design.

  • If you are looking for a Louis Vuitton zipper replacement, then we can replace zipper sliders and pulls and even entire zippers with new ones.

  • If the canvas and vachetta leather is torn, stained or otherwise looking tired, then we can repair, clean and refurbish your Louis Vuitton bag.

  • If the piping is torn or scuffed and discoloured, then we can perform a Louis Vuitton piping repair or replace the piping entirely.

Beyond the variety of our Louis Vuitton bag repair services, few in the industry are able to match the level of craftsmanship we offer — just as replica LV bags cannot live up to the quality of the originals.

About Louis Vuitton

Since its founding in Paris in 1854, Louis Vuitton has remained synonymous with innovative design and pristine craftsmanship — qualities that remain so relevant and valuable in a fashion brand today. Starting with travel trunks that sat atop carts and carriages, Louis Vuitton is now a pre-eminent fashion brand across virtually all categories, popular with and recognised by consumers around the world.

Does Louis Vuitton offer bag cleaning?

Overall, Louis Vuitton does not offer bag spa services. They won't clean your bag, no matter which bag you have or when you purchased the bag. What they do is they can replace some parts of your bag with new ones.

Can Louis Vuitton be cleaned?

To clean your Louis Vuitton canvas, if you're using the bag every day, simply take a clean, damp cloth or even alcohol-free baby wipes and wipe the bag down. Alternatively, if you're looking for more of a deep clean, we advise using a deep leather cleaner and conditioner.

Can LV leather be cleaned?

There are two options when cleaning your Louis Vuitton leather. The first option is the baby wipe, and the second is a magic eraser. Baby wipes are likely to be your standard go-to method. Using a magic eraser is more abrasive on the material and could strip entire layers of the leather away.
