Recolour your damaged handbag!

Is your favorite handbag showing signs of fatigue? Are the handles worn, has the color faded or have stubborn stains set in over time? At Tilli, we know how much more a handbag can be than a simple accessory: it's an everyday companion, often synonymous with memories and elegance. Rather than leaving it in a closet or replacing it, our expert craftsmen offer you a tailor-made solution: handbag recoloring. This service not only revives your bag's original lustre, but also allows you to opt for a new hue that reflects your current desires, while respecting the quality of the materials used.

Why opt for handbag recoloring?

Leather, canvas and other materials used for handbags deteriorate over time. Exposure to sunlight, humidity, friction and even daily use can cause staining, discoloration or wear to the material. Rather than giving up on your favorite bag, recoloring is an excellent alternative to bring it back to life.
Recoloring is also an excellent opportunity for personalization. You can choose to revive your bag's original color or opt for a completely different shade, depending on your tastes and desires. This process can also mask small imperfections and even out the color for a flawless finish.

What types of bags can be recolored?

At Tilli, we work on all types of handbags:
Leather bags:
Leather is one of the most prized materials for its durability and elegance, but it requires special care. Our craftsmen use dyes specifically adapted for leather to guarantee long-lasting, high-quality results.

Canvas bags:
Even though canvas is more resistant to wear, it can fade or wear. We offer recoloring treatments to revive your bag while preserving its texture.

Suede bags:
This delicate material can lose its color quickly if not properly cared for. Our craftsmen know the recoloring techniques adapted to suede for a perfect result.

The recoloration process at TILLI

Bag assessment
Every bag is unique, which is why our craftsmen carry out a thorough assessment before beginning the process. We check the condition of the leather, the presence of any cracks, and the overall texture to choose the most suitable treatment.

Cleaning and preparation
Before any intervention, a thorough cleaning is carried out to remove dust, stains and grease that could interfere with the application of the dye. This also ensures that the new color will be applied evenly.

Dye application
Our craftsmen use specific products for leather and other materials, guaranteeing long-lasting, even color. Each coat is applied with care, respecting the natural texture of the bag. For more intense shades or a radical color change, several coats may be necessary. It's important to note that a color change is possible, but we can't go for a lighter shade. For example, a gray bag can be recolored in a darker or even shade, but not in a beige or cream shade.

Finishing and protection
After recoloring, a finishing treatment is applied to seal the stain and protect the bag from future damage. We also use products to nourish and moisturize the leather to prolong its durability.
