Two entrepreneurs recently opened Lovin My Bags, a ‘handbag spa’ in Jumeirah, Dubai for repairing and restoring beloved leather bags. Since opening the store, Jai Tolani and Dhiraj Munjwani have become familiar with the tales of neglect which handbag owners tell them. Mr Tolani told local media that one of their projects, a Louis Vuitton Mahima bag, “sat in a cupboard for two years”. “Look at it now. It took us three weeks and cost around $400 to restore but the bag cost about $2,700 so it is worth it.”
