Watches are not the only things that get scratched. On a luxury bag the leather usually outlasts the metal fittings; on jewellery worn daily, flat polished faces pick up hairlines within weeks. Film works the same way for both: it takes the contact instead of the surface underneath.
Bags: the hardware ages first
- Feet and base studs. Every time the bag is set down.
- Clasps, turnlocks and plaques. The Hermes Kelly and Birkin hardware, the Chanel CC lock, the LV S-lock: all flat, polished and highly visible.
- Chain and strap hardware. Links rub against each other and against the bag body.
- Zip pulls. Constant handling.
Film is cut for these components so the plating keeps its mirror finish. It is applied to hardware, not to leather or canvas.
We cover 83 bag references across Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Gucci, Fendi, Celine, Prada and Goyard, from US$85. See all bag protection kits.
Jewellery: the Cartier Love and similar pieces
A Love bracelet is worn permanently, which means it is in contact with desks, car doors and other bracelets all day. Its wide polished faces show every hairline, and polishing a bangle changes its shape over time.
Kits are cut for the specific model and size, including diamond-set versions where the film follows the settings. Jewellery kits start at US$55 — see jewellery and accessory kits and the dedicated Cartier Love bracelet guide.
Luggage and trunks
Hard-shell cases and trunks take the worst handling of anything you own. Film is used on corners, edges, locks and handles — the areas conveyor belts and baggage handlers reach first.
What film does not do
- It is not applied to leather, canvas or fabric.
- It does not prevent dents from a hard impact.
- It does not repair plating that has already worn through.
FAQ
Will it leave marks on plated hardware?
No. The film peels off cleanly and is designed to be removed without residue, which matters most on gold-plated fittings.
Can I still use the clasp normally?
Yes. Pieces are cut around moving parts.
Do you cover my bag model?
We add references regularly. If yours is not listed, request a custom cut with photos and the model name.
How long does jewellery film last?
It depends on wear. Bracelets worn 24/7 usually need replacement pieces sooner than a bag clasp.
