Expert Handbag Repair & Restoration in Oakland Park, FL
About Us
The Brooklyn of Broward Deserves a Craftsman — Not a Quick Fix
Oakland Park calls itself the Brooklyn of Broward — and it earns that name. This is a city that chose authenticity over gloss, craft over convenience, and neighborhood over spectacle. The Culinary Arts District along Dixie Highway turns warehouse space into breweries, bakeries, and artisan studios. Funky Buddha Brewery anchors a creative corridor where chefs share kitchens, artists share tools, and the work itself is what matters. Jaco Pastorius Park hosts jazz nights under the palms. This is a city that understands quality — in its food, its art, and the things it buys and keeps.
Artbag is built on the same ethos. Founded in New York City in 1932 — a place Oakland Park would recognize — we have spent over 90 years doing things the right way: by hand, with the right materials, at the pace the work demands. Our Coral Springs workshop at 927 N. University Drive is approximately 20 minutes north of Oakland Park via I-95 or Dixie Highway. The Brooklyn of Broward deserves a luxury handbag specialist that takes the craft as seriously as the community does.

Why Oakland Park Clients Choose Artbag
Oakland Park values craft. So does Artbag. Founded in 1932 by Hillel Tenenbaum in New York City — where he also taught at the Fashion Institute of Technology — Artbag has operated for over 90 years under three generations of the Moore family. Donald Moore joined in 1959, his son Chris joined in 1993, and the practice relocated to Coral Springs in 2022. Every bag is assessed in person by a craftsman who learned from a craftsman who learned from a craftsman. There are no shortcuts here, and no generic materials. That is what museum-quality restoration means.

As someone who values craft and authenticity, why should I choose Artbag over a local leather shop?
Artbag is not a general leather shop. We focus exclusively on luxury handbag restoration — nothing else — and have done so for over 90 years under three generations of the same family. Every restoration uses authentic, brand-appropriate materials and techniques specific to each luxury label. A local leather shop may work on boots and belts and bags interchangeably; we work on bags and nothing but bags. That specialization is the difference between a fix and a restoration.
How much does luxury handbag repair cost at Artbag?
Minor repairs from $50–$150; comprehensive restorations $300–$800+. Detailed written estimate before work begins. 50% deposit required to start. Free consultation available in person, by phone, or by email with photos.
How long does a restoration take, and is rush service available?
Most restorations complete in 4–6 weeks. Rush service available for firm deadlines — let us know your timeline when you first reach out.
What warranty does Artbag offer?
All repairs carry a 9-month warranty on workmanship and materials, excluding zipper repairs and cleaning services.
