What is G’Old Atelier?
G’Old Atelier is a Stockholm-based leather restoration atelier specializing in luxury leather accessories. We restore, repair, recolour and customise handbags, shoes, belts, wallets and other leather goods, helping customers extend the life of their favourite pieces through expert craftsmanship.
What does “G’Old” mean?
The name G’Old is inspired by the idea of “Gold from Old”—giving cherished leather goods a new life through expert restoration, repair and craftsmanship. The distinctive apostrophe in G’Old is also a tribute to founder Emanuela D’Asdia, whose surname features the same punctuation. It reflects the personal nature of the atelier and the fact that Emanuela is not only the owner of the business but also its creative force and principal craftsperson. Every restoration is guided by her expertise, attention to detail and commitment to preserving the beauty and longevity of luxury leather goods. G’Old Atelier was founded with the vision of bringing specialised luxury leather restoration to Sweden. As an early pioneer in this field, Emanuela has helped establish professional leather restoration as a dedicated craft, promoting repair, reuse and circular fashion within the Swedish luxury market.
Where are you located?
We are based in Södermalm, Stockholm—a vibrant district known for its concentration of second-hand fashion boutiques and curated vintage interior design showrooms. Together, these businesses have helped establish Södermalm as Stockholm’s slow fashion district, where craftsmanship, quality, sustainability, and circular design are at the heart of the local creative community. Our atelier is proud to be part of this neighbourhood, restoring and extending the life of luxury leather goods while contributing to a more sustainable approach to fashionies Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast
Do you work mainly with luxury brands?
Yes. Our scope of expertise includes and specialises in the restoration of leather accessories from many premium and luxury brands, including Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, Hermès, Prada, Dior, Bottega Veneta, Saint Laurent and many others.
What items can you restore?
We restore a wide range of leather accessories, including handbags, shoes and boots, belts, wallets and other small accessories, leather furniture and car seats. If you’re unsure whether your item can be restored, simply send us photos for an assessment through our contact form
What services do you offer?
Depending on your item, we may provide leather cleaning, colour restoration, full recolouring, scratch and scuff repair, leather conditioning, edge paint restoration, hardware polishing or replacement, protective finishing, custom colour changes and leather customisation. Every project is assessed individually.
Can every item be restored?
Most leather items can be significantly improved, although results depend on the leather type, age, previous repairs and extent of the damage. We’ll always provide an honest assessment before any work begins.
Will my item look brand new?
Our goal is to restore your item to the highest possible standard while respecting its history and character. Many restorations achieve remarkable transformations, significantly improving the appearance and extending the life of the piece. However, time itself cannot be restored. Natural signs of age and wear are part of the story and beauty of every well-loved leather item. For this reason, we cannot make an item look exactly as it did on the day it was first purchased. Rather than erasing its past, our work focuses on preserving its craftsmanship, enhancing its appearance, and ensuring it can be enjoyed for many years to come. We will always provide an honest assessment of what can realistically be achieved before beginning any restoration.
How do I request a quote?
Requesting a quote is easy. Simply send us clear photographs (or a short video) of your item together with a brief description of the damage or the service you’re looking for. You can contact us through whichever method is most convenient for you: our online contact form, direct messages on Instagram, direct messages on Facebook, WhatsApp, email or SMS. Once we’ve reviewed your photos and requirements, we’ll assess the condition of your item and provide you with a personalised quotation, along with our recommended restoration approach and an estimated turnaround time.
What happens after I accept the quote?
Once your quote is approved: ship your item or arrange drop-off. We carefully inspect and restore it. Your finished item is returned ready to enjoy again.
How long does restoration take?
Turnaround time depends on the complexity of the restoration and current workshop capacity. We’ll provide an estimated completion time when your project is confirmed.
Do you offer shipping?
Yes. Customers can send items to our Stockholm atelier, and we also work with clients across Europe.
What materials do you use?
We use professional restoration products and premium materials selected specifically for luxury leather goods to achieve durable, high-quality results.
How should I care for my restored item?
To maximise the life of your restoration: store leather in a cool, dry place, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, keep leather away from excessive moisture, clean gently with appropriate leather products and avoid harsh household cleaners. We’re happy to provide care advice specific to your item.
Why restore instead of replace?
Leather restoration extends the lifespan of quality products, reduces waste and supports a more circular approach to fashion. Choosing restoration helps preserve craftsmanship while reducing environmental impact.
Do you work with businesses?
Yes. We collaborate with luxury boutiques, fashion brands, leather goods retailers, repair programmes, after-sales service providers, designers and educational organisations.
Can we become a restoration partner?
Absolutely. If you’re interested in offering professional leather restoration as part of your customer service, we’d be happy to discuss partnership opportunities. You can send us some preliminary information about your collaboration idea and your business via our B2B contact form.
When do I pay?
Payment details are provided during the quotation and order confirmation process.
Can I cancel my order?
Please contact us as soon as possible if you wish to cancel a project you already accepted and approved to get started. If restoration has already begun, cancellation may not be possible or charges may apply depending on the work already completed.
