Belt Shortening
If your belt is too long, I can shorten it for a perfect fit.
Alterations are usually made at the buckle end, preserving the belt’s original visible finish. Sizing help is available.
View further information on how to enquire and past work of belts that I’ve shortened.
Replacement Belt Straps
Keep your favourite buckle and refresh it with a new replacement strap. I can create new straps for casual and formal belts.
I’ve made straps for Mont Blanc, Prada, Gucci buckles and belts with sentimental value.

Bag Strap Repairs and Replacements
If your straps have snapped, the leather has seen better days, or the edges are peeling, I can restore them with care.
