Inspection
We inspect your item and confirm service needs.
Restore your handbag with our expert zip repair and replacement service. We repair or replace damaged zippers using premium-quality hardware and precision craftsmanship for smooth, reliable performance. We also offer custom zip enclosure installations to enhance the security, functionality, and style of your luxury handbag.
At The Leather Laundry, every item is entrusted to certified leather technicians with extensive experience in luxury leather care and restoration. Founded by Mallika Sharma, who trained at the prestigious Leather Technical Training (LTT) Institute in the UK, our atelier is proud to be the only studio in India that follows authentic European luxury-house standards. Every restoration is carried out with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring your treasured leather goods receive the highest level of craftsmanship.
From luxury handbags and shoes to jackets, wallets, luggage, and accessories, each piece undergoes a carefully planned restoration process tailored to its material, construction, and condition. We assess every item individually before selecting the safest cleaning, repair, recolouring, or restoration technique to preserve its originality, texture, and finish.
We never use generic dyes, mass-market conditioners, or harsh solvents that can compromise the integrity of fine leather. Instead, every pigment, polish, thread, adhesive, and finishing product is sourced from specialist European suppliers trusted by leading luxury ateliers. This ensures seamless repairs, colour accuracy, long-lasting durability, and results that are virtually invisible even to a trained eye.
Our commitment to quality, precision, and authenticity has earned the trust of luxury owners across India. Whether your item requires professional cleaning, expert restoration, colour revival, or structural repair, we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques to restore its beauty while preserving its value for years to come.

Handcrafted treatment using premium-safe techniques.
Repairs, recolouring, polishing or replacement work.
Quality check, conditioning and luxury presentation.
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.
Waxed-cotton and bonded-nylon threads matched to original gauge. Hand-stitched on saddle stitch awls stronger than machine stitching and visually flawless.
Microfibre, alcantara and treated cotton linings sourced from European mills colour-matched to the original interior and pre-shrunk for a flawless fit.
Original buckles, zips, chains and feet are gold-, silver- or palladium-replated rather than swapped preserving the authenticity and brand value of every piece.
UV is the single biggest enemy of leather colour. Keep restored pieces in their dust-bag, away from windows and direct sun.
A pH-neutral leather conditioner every three months keeps fibres supple and stops the surface from cracking again.
Avoid wearing or using leather in heavy rain. If it gets wet, blot — do not rub — and air-dry away from heaters.
Use bags and shoes in rotation. Resting between uses lets leather recover its shape and prevents creasing in the same spot.
