Our Story
Second Chance — Expert Care for the Shoes, Bags & Sneakers You Love
At Second Chance Leather Repair, Sneaker Laundry & Customisation, our mission is simple: to offer easy, reliable, and high-quality care for shoes, sneakers, leather goods, and bags — expertly handled by Australia’s most dedicated craftsmen.
We’re reimagining traditional repair services for the modern era, solving two of the biggest challenges facing customers today:

Quality You Can Trust
Many of us value restoration over replacement. Whether it’s for environmental reasons, animal welfare, sentimental attachment, or simply because a favourite pair of shoes or a designer bag can’t be easily replaced, one thing remains true: finding a trusted expert to do the job right is hard. At Second Chance, you never need to second-guess. We’re a team of experienced artisans — leather workers, sneaker restorers, and customisation specialists — passionate about breathing new life into worn-out items. Our work combines traditional craftsmanship with modern tools and techniques, ensuring every repair, clean, or custom job is handled with precision and care. We work with everything from everyday sneakers to high-end leather goods, restoring them with integrity, skill, and attention to detail. We saw a problem: the old-fashioned process of visiting a local workshop, waiting days or weeks, and then returning to collect repaired items just doesn’t fit with how people live today. That’s why Second Chance offers a seamless online experience from quote to doorstep. Whether you’re in the middle of Melbourne or in a remote rural town, our 2-way Australia-wide shipping service means quality repairs and customisation are never out of reach.
