Restoring the Integrity of Leather Craft
Every well-loved piece carries a story — the miles travelled, the hands that held it, the life it’s lived.At CCY Studio, we restore leather goods with the same precision, respect, and artistry used to create them.
From fine handbags to motorbike saddlebags, each repair is performed by hand, ensuring strength, structure, and renewed life.
Restoring the Integrity of Leather Craft
Repairing leather is as much about preservation as it is restoration.
Where possible, we retain the existing character of the piece, while reinforcing the parts that need new life.
Every repair is a collaboration between old and new, restoring durability without erasing history.
We restore and refine a wide range of leather goods, from personal accessories to professional gear.
Each repair is completed by hand using traditional methods and premium materials.
We can assist with:
Torn seams, frayed edges and worn handles
Motorbike saddlebags and travel gear repairs
Strap replacements, buckle and hardware restoration
Re-stitching using the double saddle stitch for maximum strength
Reconditioning and surface rejuvenation
Colour restoration and protective treatments
Custom reinforcement or modification for function or comfort
Whether your piece needs subtle care or structural repair, it will be returned renewed, resilient, and ready for use.
The Saddle Stitch Advantage
Unlike machine stitching, which can unravel when a single thread breaks, the double saddle stitch interlocks each thread to hold firm under tension.
It’s slower, stronger, and distinctly hand-made — the same method used in high-end saddlery and fine leatherwork.
This stitch not only restores the integrity of your item but extends its life far beyond standard repair.
Restoring More Than Leather
Our goal is to honour the craftsmanship that came before. We understand that leather pieces often hold sentimental or professional value — they’re tools, companions, and keepsakes.
When we restore an item, we restore the connection it carries.
Each repair is approached as an act of preservation, ensuring the piece remains both functional and meaningful.
The Repair Process
Our repair process mirrors our approach to design — deliberate, transparent, and precise.
