Who We Are

The founder Freya:

I made the leap from the UK to Sydney back in 2018, all in pursuit of bluer skies. Previously in 2012 I set up the luxury handbag restoration company The Handbag Spa for just under six years.

How did I get there? After completing my Fashion Degree at university in 2012, I joined my family business LTT Leathercare, a globally renowned leather restoration training school for furniture, auto and basically all things leather! I soaked up everything there was to know about cleaning and restoring leather. And guess what? I loved it!

So I decided to apply my love of fashion to the craft and starting small with just a website.and a Facebook page, The Handbag Spa was born. Before I knew it, The Handbag Spa was buzzing with activity, receiving hundreds of handbags each month. You name the designer, and we had their bags on our table. We were cleaning, repairing, restoring and customising day in and day out, it was great!

Fast forward 6 years and I find myself in Sydney, ready to continue my love affair with handbag restoration under a brand-new name: BAGSAMORÉ. This business has gone from strength to strength over the years and even survived a pandemic! I have restored 1000’s of bags with the help of some wonderful employees and I have loved every minute. But the time has come to move on and try something slightly different, so I have taken all the elements I love of what I do and condensed them in to this new era of Bagsamoré, working with Australian artists to turn restored second hand bags in to works of art.

Thank you for taking the time to read my journey. If you have any questions or would like to chat please do not hesitate to reach out and ask for Freya!
