HOW IT WORKS

If you have a leather item that needs a repair, from a simple buckle replacement to a full handbag reconstruction I am here to help!

  1. Please email me at info@rosannaclare.com with clear images (no larger than 1MB each if possible) of your bag showing the issue areas with concise notes about what you would like to be done.

  2. I will respond within 1-3 working days with a guide quote for the work and a lead time. This is usually 2-3 weeks although can vary depending on the time of year (Christmas could be 4-6 weeks).

  3. Once agreed you will post or deliver your bag to the address below. please make sure it is insured to cover its value. I cannot be held responsible for items that may get lost in the post. Address: 15 Broomfield Crescent, Wivenhoe, Colchester, Essex, CO7 9QA. Please include a note with your name and contact details - this is really helpful as I often receive many parcels a day!

  4. Once received I will assess the bag for the work required and contact you if I think it needs more work or the quote needs adjusting, then I will complete the work.

  5. After completion, I will send you an invoice for the full amount of work plus return postage - I use Royal Mail Special delivery with insurance to the value given.

  6. Once you have received the item back, please let me know it has arrived safely and you are happy with the work. If you would be happy to leave a review please do so on my Google business page here. If for any reason you are not happy with the work, please do get in touch so we can resolve any problems - customer satisfaction is very important to me.

PLEASE NOTE; repairs and restoration will improve the appearance and longevity of a bag but will not make it look brand new - but pretty close!

SUITCASE REVAMP

This case came to me looking rather tired and in need of some TLC. I replaced the spine at the back that was falling apart, painted and polished it up.
