Repair the handle on your pouch
The strap or handle of a pouch plays an important role. Whether made from leather, chain or fabric, these parts are subject to natural wear and tear from regular use.

Our accessory specialists, the Makers, have mastered the techniques needed to repair pouch handles and straps with precision and care. In this article, we explore the benefits of repair and the methods used to restore your accessories.Posted 1 months ago
