The Leader in Handbag & Leather Restoration Services
Giving Back to the Community
At HBS, we have always believed that success brings with it a responsibility to give back.
While many of our customers and partners know us as one of Asia's leading luxury handbag and accessory restoration specialists, fewer are aware of the charitable work we have quietly supported behind the scenes over the years.
Through donations of restored luxury handbags, accessories, services and event sponsorships, HBS has contributed more than USD $40,000 in support of charitable causes and fundraising initiatives across Thailand and the wider Irish community.
Many of these contributions have helped organisations making a real difference in the lives of vulnerable people, including the Good Shepherd Sisters Thailand, orphanages, disability support centres, and a range of community-based charitable projects.

Over the years, HBS has proudly supported numerous fundraising and community events, including:
-
St. Patrick's Society Bangkok Annual Emerald Ball – Co-Sponsor for over 10 years
-
Turkey Trot Annual Charity Golf Event – Co-Sponsor for over 10 years
-
Triskele Trophy Thailand – Co-Sponsor for 2 years
-
Connolly Cup Charity Football Tournament – Main Sponsor of the inaugural event
-
Noel Connolly Cup GAA Charity Event – Main Sponsor of the inaugural event
One of our most recent initiatives saw HBS become a principal sponsor of the inaugural Noel Connolly Cup, an Irish-Thai friendship event that brought together Ballinteer St. John's GAA Club from Dublin and Thailand GAA. The event not only promoted youth participation in sport and strengthened Irish-Thai relations, but also helped raise significant funds for the Fatima Centre operated by the Good Shepherd Sisters, supporting their ongoing work with vulnerable women and children.
We do not view community involvement as a marketing exercise. Instead, it is simply part of who we are. Throughout our journey, we have been fortunate to receive support from our customers, students, partners and friends around the world. Supporting worthwhile causes is one way we can help return that support to the communities around us.
As we continue to grow, HBS remains committed to using its expertise, resources and network to support charitable initiatives that create meaningful and lasting impact.
Because true restoration is not only about restoring luxury items, it is also about helping restore opportunity, dignity and hope where it is needed most.
