About Us
Pompano Beach has always had the bones. Named for a fish, incorporated in 1908 as the second oldest city in Broward County, and sitting on 3.5 miles of Gold Coast beachfront — the city spent decades underestimated before the rest of South Florida caught on. Now it is one of the region’s most-watched emerging destinations: a redesigned fishing pier, a revitalized Old Town arts district anchored by the Bailey Contemporary Arts building, Pompano Fishing Village on the waterfront, and a population that swells from 115,000 year-round to 150,000 at peak season. Pompano Beach isn’t becoming something new — it’s becoming what it was always capable of being.
Artbag works the same way. We restore what was always there. Founded in 1932 in New York City and now based at 927 N. University Drive in Coral Springs, Artbag is approximately 20 minutes northwest of Pompano Beach via Sample Road or Atlantic Boulevard. Three generations of master craftsmen. Over 90 years of restoring what others had given up on.

Our Promise to Pompano Beach, FL Residents
Pompano Beach spent decades with unrealized potential before the right investment revealed what was always there. Artbag has spent 90+ years doing exactly that. Founded 1932 by Hillel Tenenbaum in New York City, carried forward by Donald Moore who joined in 1959, and led today by Chris Moore — a third-generation master craftsman who relocated to Coral Springs in 2022 — our practice is built on patience, precision, and materials chosen for authenticity.

Very quickly. Direct Atlantic coast exposure means salt air corrodes brass and gold-plated hardware on designer bags far faster than inland cities. We see Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci hardware develop visible corrosion within one to two seasons in Pompano Beach. Annual professional hardware inspection and cleaning is our standard recommendation for bags kept within a mile of the water.
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.
Most restorations complete in 4–6 weeks. Rush service is available for firm deadlines — let us know your timeline when you first reach out.
All repairs carry a 9-month warranty on workmanship and materials, excluding zipper repairs and cleaning services.
