Now with a total of six locations, the original Handbag Clinic outpost in Chelsea still offers a full range of services, including authentication evaluations as well as the opportunity to purchase new and second-hand designer bags. It also publishes several online articles about caring for your leather goods, while its YouTube page will walk you through a range of different repair techniques.

Bagspa
Bagspa offers a seamless service to anyone wanting to improve the look of their bags. It starts with customers submitting images of the bag online, before a member of the team picks it up and delivers it again afterwards.

In addition, the brand also offers luxury buying and selling opportunities, again facilitated via an online form and home collection service.
