# Artbag > Artbag (Artbag Creations Inc.) is a luxury handbag repair and restoration studio based in Coral Springs, FL, specializing in repair, restoration, cleaning, refinishing, and alterations for designer and vintage handbags, serving South Florida and offering nationwide mail-in service. Founded in New York City in 1932. ## About Artbag is a luxury handbag repair and restoration business founded in New York City in 1932 by Hillel Tenenbaum, a former Fashion Institute of Technology professor. The business has operated for over 90 years under three generations of craftsmanship — from Tenenbaum to Donald Moore (who acquired the business in 1993) to current owner Chris Moore — and relocated from Madison Avenue in Manhattan to Coral Springs, Florida. Artbag's artisans specialize in restoring luxury, designer, and vintage handbags from brands such as Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci, using hand-stitching, custom color matching, and brand-appropriate materials. The studio serves walk-in clients in South Florida and accepts mail-in repairs from across the continental United States, and offers a 9-month warranty on repairs (excluding zippers and cleaning). ## Services - [Repairs Overview](https://www.artbag.com/repairs/): Overview of Artbag's handbag repair, restoration, and care services with free estimates. - [Handbag Repairs](https://www.artbag.com/handbag-repairs/): Strap and handle replacement, zipper repair, leather restoration, lining replacement, stitching repair, and hardware replacement. - [Handbag Alterations](https://www.artbag.com/handbag-alterations/): Custom alterations such as strap adjustments, handle reinforcement, clasp replacement, and structural modifications. - [Handbag Cleaning & Refinishing](https://www.artbag.com/handbag-cleaning-refinishing/): Cleaning for leather, suede, canvas, and exotic materials, plus refinishing, color restoration, and re-dyeing. - [Repair Form (Mail-In)](https://www.artbag.com/repair-form/): Downloadable form to include with mail-in repair shipments. ## Service Areas Operating from its Coral Springs, FL workshop, Artbag serves South Florida communities and offers nationwide mail-in service.
