YSL Handbag Repair & Restoration.
SUBMIT A CLEANING REQUESTSince 1953
Yves Saint Laurent, a name synonymous with luxury, innovation, and elegance, marks its origin with the tremendous talents of its founder, who was born in French Algeria in 1936. A genius in the art of fashion, Yves Saint Laurent's journey from crafting intricate paper dolls to ruling the Parisian haute couture landscape is a narrative marked by passion and precision.
As a teenager, Yves’s talents blossomed, painting the canvases of dresses for his family with artistry and elegance. His designs eventually caught the discerning eyes of Paris’s elite fashion community.
He then received recognition in a design competition that skyrocketed him into the esteemed corridors of The House of Dior. A mentorship under Dior himself saw Yves ascending to become the head designer.
In 1961, Yves Saint Laurent started his own fashion house, an iconic brand known for YSL handbags, luxury fashion, clothing, and accessories for both men and women. Saint Laurent's legacy is a testament to timeless elegance, seen through intricate stitches, premium materials, and innovative designs.
YSL's reputation is well-deserved, making it essential to ensure top-notch services for your YSL bags. We offer the best repair and restoration services for YSL bags at Margaret’s. If you live in Southern California, you can visit one of our five local shops. And if you live out of the area, you can use our Clean-by-Mail program to ensure your YSL handbag is repaired & restored by the best in the business.

Testimonials
Valentino Handbag #3
Description of Services: A Rodeo Valentino boutique’s heartbroken client brought into their store what was a brand-new purse that she had recently purchased from them. This beautiful lambskin bag with contrasting quilted stitching and studded accents was destroyed (or so they all thought) by a large hand sanitizer spill. The client was going to throw it away...until they recommended Margaret’s Cleaners. They had learned over the years if there was any chance of successful cleaning or repairs of high-end items, Margaret’s is the only place to go.
"Margaret’s did not disappoint them! When it was delivered back to the store the employees raved! Here are some of the comments we heard... “Blown away” ... “An amazing save” ... “Truly astonishing” ... “Looks new again” ... “As though damage never happened” ... “Absolutely spectacular work!”
"Margaret’s is hands down, THE BEST!”
— The staff at the Rodeo
BEAUTIFUL RESULTS!
UPS just delivered my second Prada handbag to be cleaned by your business. I can't tell you how impressed I am by the beautiful results! The woman that called to tell me it was being shipped was so helpful and thorough. She was delightful and really went out of her way with customer service.
Though I live the majority of the time in Denver, I will always make a point of using your business whenever I am staying at our second home in La Jolla. Thank you!
— Jan B., New York"
No one in Tucson could clean my bag and have any confidence in the results. I found Margaret's on the internet. Thank you for the wonderful job that you did on my handbag. It looks better than new! I'm giving your information to my local dry cleaner as they are very interested in being able to refer clients to you who have similar problems as mine.

VERY PLEASED
I was not able to find someone locally [to fix my purse]. I did an internet search and based on your website and prompt response to my email, determined that your company was probably the best! I was very pleased with how everything was handled. In today's world, it is wonderful to find a company with ""old world"" values. Thank you so much!
