Identify the problem: is the flange broken or simply weakened?
Strap repair begins with a precise diagnosis. Is it a completely severed strap? Cracked leather? Or simply a loose stitch? Each situation calls for a tailored solution, and our craftsmen carefully analyze every detail. For example, a worn leather strap will be reinforced differently from a slack textile strap.
The right repair for every material
If the strap can be reattached to the sandal, repairs will vary depending on the material. For leather, for example, our craftsmen nourish and repair it using specific glues or invisible seams. For sandals made of synthetic materials or textiles, other techniques are preferred, such as reinforcement with a discreet patch or replacement of a damaged segment.
And if your broken strap is a key element of your sandal, such as a decorative braid or buckle? Don't worry: our craftsmen will recreate this detail as closely as possible to the original.
Replacing the flange
Sometimes the strap is too damaged to be repaired. Our craftsmen then opt for a replacement. The new piece is cut from a material close to the original, whether soft leather or textile cord. The color is also matched to make the repair as discreet as possible.
Thanks to careful stitching or sturdy fastening, the new strap offers the same flexibility and resistance as the original. For straps with metal fasteners, such as buckles, these are carefully repositioned to guarantee comfort and aesthetic appeal.
