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.


Damaged Shoes from Dog

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.

I was staying near Aerocity and wanted a convenient massage option after a long day of travelling. While searching for a russian massage service in aerocity hotel, I found this spa and decided to visit. The overall environment was comfortable and peaceful, which made the experience more relaxing. The staff was polite and the service was handled professionally. I appreciated not having to travel far from my hotel. It was a pleasant experience and provided a nice opportunity to relax and take some personal time.
