To recycle or to reuse; there is an answer
At Hague Handbags we believe that discarded bags should be given another chance. D-rings, snap hooks, studs, zippers, and especially leather can often be reused. A beloved bag can be restored and its lifespan extended. At Hague Handbags, upcycling, recycling and restoration are still in its infancy, but if you have a bag that you have given up on, but would actually like to have restored, we would like to hear from you. At HH we are happy yo have a look at your bag, see if HH can restore it, or whether HH needs to refer you to a more experienced restorer.
If you have an orginal Hague Handbags that you believe has come to the end of its working life, that bag can be returned to HH in exchange for shop credit, or, if possible restored. If there is enough leather, perhaps a new, smaller, or different bag can be made from the old one. Contact Hague Handbags for information or to share your ideas.
