Polishing

If your shoes just need a quick spruce-up, our cobblers can perform a standard shoe shine.

Clean/Wash

This service is ideal for shoes that have mud, mildew, light stains, or salt damage. We carefully hand-clean leather, suede, fabric and canvas shoes.

Scrapes/Rips/Scuffs

Whether you have major rips or minor scuffing, we can seal, smooth and refinish the damaged material.

Refinish/Dye Leather

Once cleaned, if your leather shoes have color loss, our in-house artists custom-make colors to dye the leather as needed.

Protect

Water and stain protectants can help protect your shoes from unforeseen events, such as getting caught in inclement weather conditions.

Clean/Wash

When cleaning or washing a bag, the exterior will be carefully hand-cleaned to remove surface-level dirt. The washing option is best suited for fabrics, suede, and coated canvas. Washing will not remove deep staining, discoloration, ink, or dye transfer.

Interior liners that have light wear and soiling can be cleaned. We cannot remove ink stains from liners, but we can clean the lining to sanitize it.

Condition

After being washed, a leather bag that has a natural leather finish can be simply conditioned to moisturize the leather and maintain the original look.

Refinish/Dye Leather

Recoloring leather is needed when the original color/finish is worn/faded/stained. Our color specialists custom mix colors to match your bag as closely as possible. The color is then carefully applied by hand in our refinishing studio.

Best Work Ever!

“I had my white leather sneakers sent in to be cleaned and restored. When I sent my shoes they were essentially grey from all the dirt on the shoes. No matter what I tried, I couldn’t get the shoes clean. My shoes came back sparkling and white. You can barely tell that the shoes are 2 years old. They look almost brand new.
I love working with Rago Brothers. I will continue to use them and also recommend them to everyone. They are so easy to work with and also complete repairs quickly and in a cost effective manner. Thank you!!”

Vintage Bag Looks Like New

“I purchased a vintage Coach handbag at a resale shop. It needed to be cleaned and reconditioned. Rago Brothers made it like new! The inside was cleaned and sanitized (very important to me), and some lingering odors were removed. And the outside was beautifully reconditioned and restored to its original even color. All with a very fast turnaround time. I highly recommend Rago Brothers for the restoration of your vintage bag.”
