Dolce & Gabbana alligator bag

Who does Dolce & Gabbana call when you discover that a $23,000 alligator handbag on the selling floor has a pen mark?

Jeeves, of course.

Last Friday your man Jeeves took a call from the manager of Dolce and Gabbana on Madison Avenue who had a big problem, no a huge problem. She had a $23,000 alligator bag on the selling floor and someone put a pen mark on it.

Jeeves is on the case. Our lead handbag technician is hard at work as we speak, working her magic to remove the offending ink stain. Soon the ink will be gone, and all will be right again at Dolce and Gabbana.

Dolce and Gabbana’s first call was to New York and London’s finest garment care firm, Jeeves of Belgravia, with worldwide locations. By the way, Jeeves is the ONLY worldwide garment care firm.

Jeeves of Belgravia, New York will be the only luxury garment care firm to remove ALL of the petrochemicals from the cleaning process. No other luxury dry cleaner in New York can make that claim either.

The stain of the week comes to you a bit late. Friday being the day before July 4th was a holiday for many, so I waited to add this post until today.

This week we feature a Muska Milano handbag in ostrich. The handbag needed to be cleaned and restored.

The handbag technicians at Jeeves of Belgravia in New York performed the following;

• Meticulous hand cleaning of the entire bag
• Oil extraction of the handles
• Leather conditioning and color restoration

The before and after images of this Muska Milano handbag tell the story.

At Jeeves of New York, we specialize in cleaning and restoration of handbags. Ring us with your request and our staff will advise you on the best procedures to properly take care of your bag.

The garment that I want to share with you this week is a Balenciaga handbag that was just perfect except that the handles have gotten very dark from use.

At Jeeves of Belgravia we have a special process to remove the oil which collects in the handles of handbags. This process does not change the color or texture of the bag, but “extracts” the oils in the handles. This is a time consuming process that requires a delicate touch.

The most difficult part of this process is making sure that the dye of the handles remains exactly the same color as the rest of the bag. It is very easy to “go to far” with this process and end up with handles which do not match the rest of the bag.

Rest assured the handbag cleaning craftsman at Jeeves of Belgravia have taken care of 100’s of handbags and the utmost care is taken with each and every one.

Right now the Jeeves craftsmen are cleaning a collection of 25 handbags (Gucci, Prada, Balenciaga, etc.) for one client. When we are finished with this project I will share the images with you.

When you need handbag cleaning in New York City, think of Jeeves of Belgravia first.

Thanks for listening, Jerry Pozniak.
