How to repair the metal parts of your handbag?

Fortunately, it's possible to repair them rather than replace your bag. At TILLI, our craftsmen specializing in leather goods offer tailor-made solutions to restore your leather bags and extend their lifespan. Whether you need to repair a zipper, snap fastener or buckle, we use professional techniques to get your bag back to like-new condition.Posted 1 months ago

Repair your handbag handle
The strength of a handle determines the longevity of a handbag. Subjected to daily use, it eventually becomes damaged, compromising the use of the bag. Whether due to frequent use, the load the bag carries, or simply the wear and tear of the leather or fabric, the handle is often one of the first parts to show signs of fatigue. But when the handle starts to deteriorate, it's not necessary to replace the whole bag. Rather than leaving it at the bottom of a cupboard or buying a new one, why not opt for a more durable solution? At Tilli, we know how sentimental and practical a handbag can be. That's why our expert craftsmen offer a made-to-measure service to repair your bag's handle, restoring it to its former glory and functionality. Our expert craftsmen guarantee long-lasting, solid and aesthetic repairs, so you can enjoy your accessories to the full again.Posted 1 months ago
