Restore your Jimmy Choo handbag using expert repair tips.
Jimmy Choo purses are treasured accessories favored by celebrities, fashion editors and socialites. The design house's collections feature original designs and fashion-forward trends that add a touch of immediate elegance to any outfit.
The handbag artisans of Jimmy Choo use the finest materials---leathers, exotic skins and suede---when constructing their pricey purse creations. If your Jimmy Choo purse is in need of repair, you will need to assess the damage carefully before you attempt to restore the handbag to its original splendor.
Instructions
1. Clean minor leather, canvas and suede stains. Apply a pre-moistened leather wipe to the bag. Gently remove the stain with a small white cloth or cheesecloth. Use a small nylon suede brush, suede stone or suede eraser to remove suede stains. Gently brush the suede using a back and forth motion to release any dirt. Clean canvas stains with a small bristled brush---without water.
2. Restore the shine of your patent leather handbag. Spray window cleaner like Windex on a small cloth. Wipe the purse clean.
3. Create an environmentally-friendly solution to clean your designer purse. Mix two tablespoons of white vinegar with one cup of water to clean any patent leather handles or purses. Wipe the bag clean with a white cloth to remove any vinegar residue from the handbag.
4. Return the handbag to an authorized Jimmy Choo retailer. If you have the purse's original receipt of purchase, return the handbag to a Jimmy Choo boutique or the department store where you made your purchase. A luxury department store or any Jimmy Choo boutique may offer to repair the bag for free, if the purse is defective or damaged due to normal use within the first year of owning the handbag.
5. Contact Jimmy Choo's customer service for handbag repair options. For questions concerning repair of your handbag email the Jimmy Choo Customer Care Team at customercare@jimmychooonline.com. In the United States contact customer service using the following toll free telephone number: 1-800-506-9991.
6. Use a professional handbag restoration service. For exotic skins and beaded handbags, BagVanity.com suggests using a purse repair company. Avelle and Artbag specialize in the repair of designer handbags. The cost to repair a designer handbag in 2010 ranges from $50 to $300, depending on the materials used to construct the purse and the type of handbag damage.
Tips Warnings
