Fendi Peekaboo, black — re-dyed, with a new handle

A Fendi Peekaboo in black nappa with a gold turn-lock. The middle of the handle, where it is always held, had worn through and its stitching had come apart, and the body had faded at the corners and in places on the front.

The body was brought back to its original black, and the handle was remade rather than repaired.

1. Removing the old handle
2. Cutting, making and fitting a new handle
3. Re-dyeing the whole body black
4. Finishing

The faded spots were scattered over the whole bag, so the entire body was re-dyed.

The biggest change in this job is the new handle; the body re-dye shows only a slight difference in the photos.After · photo 6

The two photos differ in angle, background or light, so they are shown side by side rather than overlaid.
