HANDBAGS - LININGS & HARDWARE
Linings
Handbag linings are so variable that it is difficult to generalize the cleaning methods. Expert handbag cleaners may find it necessary to either remove or completely replace a lining, depending upon the customer's preference. Almost always, the cleaner will carefully hand-clean clean the lining as a separate process from cleaning the leather itself to prevent damaging moisture from reaching the leather outer shell.

Handbag Hardware
The sad truth about many leather handbags is that they are relegated to thrift shops just because a latch or other piece of hardware is broken or rusted or missing. An expert leather handbag cleaner may be able to match your original hardware - or come close enough to the original that no one can discern the difference!
