Melanie MoralesMy friend was devastated after the vintage Chanel bag that she had painstakingly saved up for came back from a well-advertised spa service looking worse than when she’d sent it in. The bag smelled of harsh chemicals, the leather had discoloured, and the stitching was off.
Seeing the defeated look on her face was enough reason for me to take matters into my own hands. So, I reached out to the rest of the Best in Edmonton team and went on a mission to find the best luxury bag spas in the city that could help her restore her bag.
We collected several tester bags and tested out the top luxury bag spa services for ourselves. We also spoke to several other luxury bag owners in Edmonton to ask for their experience to make sure we don’t get blinded by the claims of the spas.
After thorough research and hands-on experience, we narrowed down the best luxury bag spas in Edmonton that truly deliver on their promises. Check them all out here!
How much does it cost to take a bag to a luxury bag spa in Edmonton?
Taking a bag to a luxury bag spa in Edmonton for a basic cleaning costs at least 30 CAD. This is just an estimate and the final cost will vary depending on the condition of the bag, any repairs, and more.
How We Chose
1. Edmonton Bag Spa

Almost everyone raved about Edmonton Bag Spa’s deep cleaning service. We left them with a Louis Vuitton that hadn’t seen a proper clean in years and it came back sparkling.
They’re mainly known for their attention to detail. Several customers we talked to praised their quality repairs for broken zippers and frayed stitching. Many said they couldn’t even tell where the original damage had been.
Edmonton Bag Spa also offers specialized services like hand painting and airbrushing. They easily get rid of any nasty scratches, matching the colour perfectly and airbrushing the damage away.
For those who are more bougie, they offer 24k gold re-plating.
The spa also offers authentication services for luxury bag owners. Their verbal authentication service, though, was met with some criticism as some felt the $30 fee was a bit too much for something so basic.
She is a luxury expert and can be trusted and relied upon
“My 10-year-old Chanel bag was peeling and discolored. They restored my bag to look like new. The Edmonton bag spa team members took great care of my bag and I am so thankful for what they did. She is a luxury expert and can be trusted and relied upon in the future.”

Now as good as new when I bought it
“I’ve been looking to fix my bag and finally found Edmonton Bag Spa. Yardley showed me that she is very friendly and knowledgeable when it comes to luxury items and was able to do the repair I needed done and the purse was touched up with perfect detail and is now as good as new when I bought it. Would highly recommend and will be back anytime my collection has any issues.
Thank you so much Yardley 😊”

While Expert Shoe Clinic is known for its shoe repairs, they also take on handbag repair and cleaning.
We tested their services with a leather bag that had scuffed surfaces and a strap that was starting to give out. After sending it over to Expert Shoe Clinic, it came back looking almost brand new.
Their regular clients consistently praised the meticulous attention they paid to even the smallest details. Many were impressed with how they repaired delicate zippers that seemed beyond saving without leaving any noticeable marks.
Customers also appreciated how the customer service team at Expert Shoe Clinic kept them updated throughout the entire process.
However, it’s worth noting that turnaround time for handbag repairs can occasionally take longer than expected. Several customers told us it took a week to get their bags back.
Can’t tell the difference!
“Excellent service, did some work on a burbarry purse and you can’t tell the difference!!!!”

If your leather bag is in need of some TLC, Canamaple Leather might be just what you need.
The entire process is pretty straightforward. All you do is send them pictures of the damage to their phone number. After ascertaining what they can do for you, they’ll take the time to discuss exactly what needs to be done and how they’ll restore your bag’s glory.
Customers really liked how quick and reasonable the quotes they received were. Many received a response within the same day of sending.
For the most part, people said they got their bags back looking as good as new. The stitching, the colour matching, the sheen—everything was spot on. They even wax down the zippers to keep them from getting stiff!
Besides fixing bags, Canamaple also makes 100% luxurious leather bags, customized according to any style you like.
That said, they only repair leather bags and do not work with other materials.
Did an awesome job repairing my leather duffel
“Don’t let the residential front throw you off this gem! They were very friendly, great communication including texts, quick, and did an awesome job repairing my leather duffel where the straps had been torn from the loops. It’s now stronger than it was before and you wouldn’t know it had even been repaired. Definitely recommend”

Their work is absolutely incredible
“I brought in a leather satchel I use every day for work, the handle for which finally broke from 12 years of constant, daily use. These folks were absolutely transparent about what the cost of a replacement would be, and even engaged in a full restoration of touching up the worn and faded areas, as well as repairing rivets and bent metal framing. Their work is absolutely incredible. The attached photo looks like a brand new satchel, not the worn and faded decade-plus old workhorse I sent to them. They were able to mix a dye that color matched the original shade *perfectly*, and the satchel itself even FEELS newer, with a certain form and stiffness that had long since worn away with with how much use it has seen. These folks are a class act, and are masters of their craft. If you need any leather work done, do yourself a favor and pay them a visit. You will not be disappointed.”

If your beloved designer bag is looking a little worse for wear, Bijoux Bag Spa & Consignment is the place you want on speed dial.
We sent them a Chanel bag that was in horrible shape—scratched leather, broken zippers, you name it. The bag came back not just clean, but also with this fresh glow that only a true luxury item should have.
The service was quick too—we got it back within three days.
If you want to buy a quality luxury bag, Bijoux has you covered too. They’re all about eco-friendly bags and only deal with authentic high-end stuff, so no worries about getting duped with counterfeit nonsense.
While their restoration skills are top-notch, it’s important to note that you get what you pay for—high-end restoration doesn’t come cheap.
Natasha is amazing to work with
“Had the greatest experience with Natasha at Bijoux. Natasha is amazing to work with. She made the sale so simple and seamless for me. I literally dropped off, agreed on a price the same day and as soon as it sold money was transferred. Hassel free way to sell items that you no longer use and for me was just sitting in my closet for so many years!”
She was extremely helpful, and very knowledgeable
“I bought two beautiful pieces from Natasha today. She was extremely helpful, and very knowledgeable. Not only did I score some amazing pieces but I also learned a lot about her and the brand. I would highly recommend visiting here as the service was amazing.”

If you’re someone who’s obsessed with keeping your luxury bags in top-notch condition, Lexi Bag Spa might just be the spa your bags have been dreaming about.
They have a meticulous process that gets rid of dirt, grime, and all those pesky stains. Almost every single person we spoke to mentioned that it’s the kind of clean that makes you fall in love with your bag all over again.
Other customers also raved about their colour restoration. They can bring back life in discoloured and faded bags, restoring that original vibrant hue.
Their expertise in hardware repair and replacements also needs recognition. Whether it’s clasps, zippers, or seams—they handle it all with precision.
They can also repair interior damages. They can fix makeup spills, pen marks, and general wear and tear.
The only complaint we’ve heard about them is that they’re hard to get a hold of at times.
They cleaned it thoroughly, removing all the stains
“I had an amazing experience with Lexi Bag Spa when they restored my Chanel wallet. Carla is very accommodating and took great care of my wallet. They cleaned it thoroughly, removing all the stains and marks, and made it look like new again. They paid attention to every little detail and did an excellent job. If you need to get your luxury items restored, I highly recommend Lexi Bag Spa for their great service and expertise.”
Fixed the strap, cleaned it so well
“They did an incredible job on my purse. Fixed the strap, cleaned it so well, and touched up some areas that needed to be fixed. It looks new again! I will definitely be back!”
