About This Service
Crafted With Complete Colour Change Expertise
Tired of carrying the same old bag every day? We can re-dye your handbag into any colour of your choice. Change the colour of your handbags to keep up with latest fashion trends.
At The Leather Laundry, every piece passes through the hands of UK-certified leather technicians. Founded by Mallika Sharma - trained at the Leather Technical Training (LTT) Institute in the UK - our atelier is the only studio in India operating to authentic European luxury-house standards.
We never use generic dyes, mass-market conditioners or aggressive solvents. Every pigment, polish, thread and adhesive is sourced from specialist suppliers used by Hermès, Bottega Veneta and Louis Vuitton's own ateliers - ensuring the result is invisible to the trained eye and built to last for years.

The Atelier-Grade Difference
Specialist Pigments
Italian and Spanish leather pigments — the same brands used by luxury houses for repairs. Custom-mixed in-house to match your item's exact tone, fade-resistant for years.
Authentic Threads
Waxed-cotton and bonded-nylon threads matched to original gauge. Hand-stitched on saddle-stitch awls — stronger than machine stitching and visually flawless.
Premium Linings
Microfibre, alcantara and treated cotton linings sourced from European mills — colour-matched to the original interior and pre-shrunk for a flawless fit.
Restored Hardware
Original buckles, zips, chains and feet are gold-, silver- or palladium-replated rather than swapped — preserving the authenticity and brand value of every piece.

After-Care
How to Make Your Restoration Last Years
Store Out of Sunlight
UV is the single biggest enemy of leather colour. Keep restored pieces in their dust-bag, away from windows and direct sun.
Condition Quarterly
A pH-neutral leather conditioner every three months keeps fibres supple and stops the surface from cracking again.
Mind the Monsoon
Avoid wearing or using leather in heavy rain. If it gets wet, blot — do not rub — and air-dry away from heaters.
Rotate Use
Use bags and shoes in rotation. Resting between uses lets leather recover its shape and prevents creasing in the same spot.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Complete Colour Change.
Smooth leathers, suede and nubuck respond excellently. Patent leather and exotic skins (python, crocodile) need specialised processes which we also offer.
Our penetrating dyes bond with the leather fibre rather than sitting on top, so they flex with the bag and resist cracking. A protective finish coat is always applied last.
Going darker is straightforward. Going lighter from a dark base requires a professional strip-and-redye process which we also handle — it adds 5–7 days to turnaround.
No — we mask all original stitching before dyeing. If you want matching stitching, we can also re-stitch in the new colour.
With reasonable care, expect 4–6+ years of excellent colour retention. Avoid strong sunlight and harsh cleaners.
