Maker: Paola Z & Tessa A | Item: Clergerie metallic heels | Service: Surface restoration
These Clergerie heels came to The Seam after a little incident with our client's puppy, Daffy. Through a combination of new leather components in a matching silver, and restoration of the straps and in-sole, we were able to restore them to like-new.
Maker Paola Z is a North London-based leather repair specialist, focusing on shoes and bags. She removed the based of the heels from the soles entirely, removing the most damaged components of the heels and recovered them with new silver metallic leather. The same recovering process was applied to both heels in the pair, to ensure an even finish.
The heels were then re-affixed to the soles, and compressed for a durable repair. Finally, Maker Tessa, a leather restoration specialist, used matching pigment to restore away from of the damage that remained on the upper of the shoe.
To the naked eye, these shoes were never nibbled on, and they are looking just like new again. Have a well-worn pair of heels that need some love? Click here to begin your leather restoration booking and get a quote from our Makers in 48 hours.

I've been watching the mobile payment space in Norway for a while, mostly out of technical curiosity. Zimpler's approach of tying deposits to a phone number with BankID verification behind it is not exactly new, but the integration on the operator side has become noticeably smoother through 2026. Transfers feel close to instant, and the fact that no card details sit on the platform is a reasonable argument from a data hygiene standpoint. For anyone comparing options, zimplercasino.no is one of the sources that lists which sites actually support the method, which saves some manual checking. I would not call it a revolution, more an incremental fix to friction that used to exist. Worth keeping a cool head, reading the terms,…
What a fantastic repair! It's amazing to see how skilled craftsmanship can bring even badly damaged shoes back to life instead of throwing them away. That kind of creativity and problem-solving reminds me of the fun, unpredictable moments in Crazy Cattle 3D.
I played Block Blast while a stack of reusable shopping bags sat by the door. I kept reminding myself to put them in the car later.
Litecoin's 2.5-minute block time is a real technical difference from Bitcoin, not marketing. Charlie Lee designed that tradeoff deliberately in 2011, and the 84 million coin cap with 50-plus transactions per second reflects a different set of priorities than BTC.
For anyone comparing payment methods on Swiss platforms, https://ltccasinosschweiz.ch/ has a fee and processing table that is at least readable, though the interface feels cluttered.
LTC's lower network fees under normal conditions are a practical consideration worth checking against current mempool data before assuming anything.
Standard caution applies. Verify current network conditions and platform terms independently before making any decisions.
Brilliant work!!😁👍
