Reviving YSL Kate WOC in caviar leather

A returning customer recently approached us with her YSL Kate WOC in luxurious caviar leather, seeking to revive it for the second time. It’s been nearly two years since we last restored this exquisite piece, and we are thrilled to report that the durability of the material has truly stood the test of time, even in the demanding environment of a restaurant kitchen.

Throughout its journey, the rubber lining on most areas of the bag has remained remarkably intact, showcasing the exceptional quality of YSL craftsmanship. However, as is inevitable with frequent use, the color and areas in constant contact with the chain strap and the flap opening have experienced some wear and colour fade. This is a common occurrence in regularly used luxury items, and we view it as an opportunity to enhance the bag’s longevity and aesthetic appeal.

Our mission in this restoration is clear: we aim to close off the exposed edges and apply a fresh coat of paint, revitalizing the bag to ensure it looks as stunning as the day it was purchased. By doing so, we not only enhance its visual appeal but also fortify its resilience, allowing it to last for many more years to come.

At Fashionistaway, we are dedicated to preserving the beauty and functionality of luxury items, and this restoration is a testament to our commitment to quality. We take pride in our ability to breathe new life into cherished pieces, ensuring that they continue to be a source of joy and elegance for our customers. With our expert care, this YSL Kate WOC will emerge renewed, ready to accompany its owner on countless more adventures.

Detailed pictures of before and after will be uploaded as soon as complete.
