A spa for handbags

When people invest in new designer handbags, they want them to last for a long time and one firm has seized on this idea by launching a special spa for handbags. The store is located in Dubai and is the brainchild of Jai Tolani and Dhiraj Munjwani, the Gulf News reports.

Lovin’ My Bags is said to be the city’s first handbag and leather restoration outlet and it promises to restore old and worn out designer handbags.

Commenting on the business idea, Mr Tolani said: “It’s a concept that began over 35 years ago in the US and we’re the first one to bring the franchise to the Middle East.”

Meanwhile, according to Mr Munjwani, the weather conditions in Dubai can cause handbags to deteriorate. He stated: “In this part of the world, climate is the biggest culprit. A majority of the bags that are brought in to us for cleaning or restoration have been destroyed by climatic conditions and humidity.”

Also, clothes can have an impact on these products. About this, Mr Tolani remarked: “We’ve had many bags brought in stained and damaged from the dye on abayas and jeans. Depending on the fabrics, damage and services required cleaning and restoration can take anywhere from one to eight weeks.”

Just like any spa, customers have the chance to take their pick from a range of treatments. For example, they can opt for cleaning and stain removal, water and stain protection, complete colour restoration and fixing handles and corners. They can even select a colour changing service and other options include PH correction, treatments, shine restoration and disinfecting.

When consumers are on the lookout for new handbags, they often head online. This is generally seen as a convenient way to source products and it ensures people benefit from an impressive level of choice.
