Backpacks are often put to the test, whether during daily commutes, travel or outdoor activities. Handles and shoulder straps are particularly stressed, and it's not uncommon for them to end up damaged, unraveled or torn. Rather than replacing your bag, repairing these key components is a sustainable and cost-effective solution. At TILLI, our craftsmen offer you a tailor-made service to repair and reinforce the handles and straps of your backpacks, guaranteeing solid, long-lasting results.

Why repair your backpack's straps and handle?

TILLI repair services for backpack straps and handles

Our craftsmen specialize in repairing and reinforcing backpack straps and handles, whatever the material and severity of the damage.

Repairing unsewn seams
When the seams on straps or handles become unstitched, our craftsmen intervene to reinforce them with resistant threads, adapted to the material of your bag. This ensures that the seams are strong and the straps or handles stay firmly in place, even when the bag is loaded.

Replacing damaged straps or handles
In cases where straps or handles are too damaged to repair, we offer replacement. Our craftsmen select quality materials, similar or compatible with your backpack, for an aesthetic and functional result. You can also choose to personalize your bag by opting for a different material or color for the new straps or handles.

Reinforced attachment points
The attachment points of straps and handles are sensitive areas, often subject to high stress. Our craftsmen take care to reinforce these points with strong stitching and fabric or leather reinforcements, guaranteeing increased durability and optimum support.

Straps adjustment
If your backpack's shoulder straps are no longer adjustable or the adjustment buckles are damaged, our craftsmen can replace or repair them. This allows you to regain optimal comfort, adjusting the shoulder straps to your morphology for better support.
