Can The Sun Damage My Leather Handbag???

1/16/2015

We get this question all the time and the answer is YES.

Leather is just like your skin. Too much exposure to direct sunlight will dry out and damage leather. It can cause the bag to discolor and fade. It is important to keep your designer handbag out of direct sunlight when ever possible. When storing your bag, it is best to keep it away from sunlight to protect it from damage. We suggest storing it in a in a cloth dust cover off the floor in closet.

You can help protect you handbag from day to day damage by using a leather moisturizer. We recommend Arrow Leathercare’s Fine Leather Lotion. It will clean, polish and protect your leather handbag.

So what do you do if your handbag has suffered severe color loss from sun damage? You can bring or mail your handbag into Arrow. http://www.arrowcare.com/delivery--shipping.html

 We specialize in leather handbag color restoration. We can give your favorite handbag our “Handbag Spa Treatment” and have it looking brand new.

At Arrow, we love getting letters from our customers! Below is a before and after testimonial on a hand bag we received. The customer believed this bag was beyond repair. We love when we can restore a loved possession that was thought to have no hope.

Hi,

I am just absolutely amazed!

I brought my B. Makowsky handbag in with absolutely no hope of it being able to be cleaned. A hot pink sharpie marker had been thrown in my bag and had spent a night absorbing into the leather. My beautiful metallic handbag had a rather large hot pink dot on it. I was devastated.

I was blown away when I picked up the bag. Still can't believe it. The bag looks brand new. The color is fantastic. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

This Cole Hann handbag had become faded from age and use. Arrow Leathercare did an incredible job restoring this handbag by dying the leather and brought this once dead bag back to life. WOW

Some Recent KUDOS

Arrow receives many complimentary letters, emails and phone calls...Following are some of the most recent ones. We're proud of our work and cherish the reputation we have earned over the years.
"I just wanted to tell you guys that you are phenomenal. You are the best cleaning company that I know. We have sent things to you guys for a long time, leather garments that we wouldn't let anyone else touch it. Every time we send you something that has to be done, you guys to such a superb job. You get it done and you get it back to us, and everything is resolved. We just got a jacket back that my wife said, "they will never get this thing clean", and it just looks phenomenal. I can't tell you guys how good you are, and how much we appreciate you, and we tell everybody that we know about you that has something with dry-cleaning issues, and good quality stuff. I just wanted to let you know that I and my family really appreciate your terrific service. Thank you very, very much!"

 Joe B., Mound, MN
"Received the car coat yesterday and am very, very pleased with the results and particularly appreciate the phone calls and follow-up. Thank you and I certainly will use Arrow in the future and recommend you highly. Best regards."

 Jim T., Fort Valley, GA
"I just had to send you a thank-you note for the wonderful restoration of my yellow leather Michael Kors handbag. It looks better than new! Thank you so much for a perfect job. I got your brochure from a leather shop here in Amarillo on Western Street. I owe him a thanks, too, for the recommendation to your business."

 Kay P., Amarillo, Texas
"To the entire cleaning staff who helped save my leather jacket. It must be really rewarding for you all to be the BEST in the WORLD at what you do. That's so rare to find these days. I just wanted to express my thanks and appreciation to everyone for all you did. You guys aren't just cleaners. You're MAGICIANS! You know how trashed and hopeless that jacket was. Here's to wishing you and yours the very best this holiday season." 

Sincerely, Pat C. - Santa Barbara, California

Arrow restores $49,000.00 Handbag

1/30/2013

One of America's premiere luxury specialty retailers sends Arrow hundreds of handbags for cleaning and restoration each year. But last week we received the ultimate evidence of this client's confidence and satisfaction - a handbag valued at nearly 50 thousand dollars...the most expensive bag trusted to Arrow to date.

The bag was in need of color restoration on parts of the surfaces due to some mishandling.

Was Arrow intimidated? Certainly not.

The client got the same prompt and professional services as all our customers who trust their bags to Arrow for care. The result of our work is shown in these "before" and "after" photos.

Sad Story. Happy Ending.

This is a sad, sad story. The owner of this classic Prada handbag had used it, used it and USED IT!! Until it was terribly scratched, faded, stained, dirty and misshapen.

But the wise owner knew of a solution!...Arrow Leathercare Services, of course.

Picture
The sad story had a happy ending!

As this photo shows, the result was amazing! A cleaned and restored bag that might lead someone to think that it was brand new.
Prada will be proud!

Nice letter to Escada praises Arrow Fabricare

9/5/2011

The letter following was written to Escada and as you'll read, it was highly complimentary of Arrow Fabricare's work and service. Escada kindly forwarded us a copy. The letter follows, but first, here's a little background on Escada. It is a group of companies that ranks among the worldwide market leaders for ready-to-wear women’s fashion in the high-end segment. ESCADA is sold in over 80 countries worldwide. Arrow specializes in cleaning and restoring high-end garments and leathers, including fashionable handbags like the Escada bag shown above.

This letter to Escada is from their customer, Faith R., Katonah, NY.

"I am very grateful to Escada because 20 years ago I bought a black and white "zebra" like jacket which was quite expensive. It was quite a stretch for me financially since I had just graduated from business school.

"About a week after I bought it, I was taking the bus to work and sat on a seat that had water on it and the black ran into the white. Naturally, I was devastated. I took the jacket back and told there were no more jackets to replace it, but you offered to clean it. I was extremely skeptical about your ability to clean it properly given the extent of the stain. About two weeks later I received the jacket back from Arrow Fabricare Services in Kansas City. The jacket was perfect and I was thrilled. Since that time I have sent any hard-to-handle problem with my clothing to Arrow and they have never disappointed me (including recently re-weaving 35 cashmere sweaters for me when moths attacked my closet).

"Earlier this summer I was wearing a black and white Escada skirt when I was watering my plants and the skirt got wet and the black ran into the white. I spoke with the store manager on the phone about the situation and she was not particularly helpful. I sent the skirt to Arrow and they spent one month working on it and restored it to its original elegance.

"I wanted to take the time to tell you this story because while I thought the way this was handled by the store in New York was not particularly professional, I do have you to thank for introducing me to Arrow many years ago. They do remarkable work and if you ever have clients who need work done, they really do an outstanding job. Thank you."

Many thanks to Ms. Faith R. for her kind words. She is one of over 10,000 customers nationwide that put their trust and faith and treasured garments in our care every year.
