How to restore a damaged wallet
Your wallet, in daily use, can become damaged over time. But a damaged wallet is not inevitable. Whether it's detached seams, broken fasteners or worn leather, a professional repair can restore your accessory to its original look and functionality.
At TILLI, our specialized craftsmen put their expertise at the service of your wallets to give them a second life, while respecting their original aesthetics and quality. Discover how a meticulous and personalized repair can transform a worn wallet into an accessory ready to accompany you in your daily life.
Why repair your wallet instead of replacing it?
A quality wallet is often made from durable materials, but intensive use can lead to signs of wear and tear. Rather than throwing away a damaged wallet, repairing it is a far better option. From an economic point of view, it saves money compared to buying a new model, especially for high-end wallets which represent a substantial investment.
From an ecological point of view, repairing rather than replacing is a responsible choice. It helps limit waste and reduces the demand for new products, a process that often consumes natural resources. Last but not least, repairing gives you the opportunity to keep an object to which you are attached. A wallet can have sentimental value, whether as a gift or a precious memento, and restoring it allows you to continue using it with pride.
The Essential Steps in Portfolio Repair
Repairing a portfolio requires specific know-how, as each intervention must respect the original structure and materials. The process always begins with a careful inspection of the wallet's overall condition. Our craftsmen identify any damaged areas, whether faulty stitching, broken fasteners or cracked leather. This assessment enables us to determine the repairs required and draw up a suitable action plan.
For worn or broken seams, our craftsmen use strong threads that match the original ones to ensure a solid and discreet repair. Each seam is precisely crafted to blend in perfectly with the wallet's design. When leather parts are damaged, a specific treatment is applied to nourish the material, fill cracks and restore the leather's suppleness and shine. In some cases, leather panels may need to be replaced.
Broken zippers or press studs are also taken care of. If a zipper slider is stuck or missing, it is replaced by a similar model to maintain the harmony of the accessory. If necessary, the entire zipper can be changed, while snaps are carefully adjusted to restore their original functionality.

Tips For Caring For Your Wallet After Repairs
Once your wallet has been repaired, regular maintenance is essential to prolong its life. For leather models, we recommend the use of a suitable nourishing cream to prevent drying out and preserve the suppleness of the material. Apply the cream with a soft, clean cloth, taking care to spread the product evenly over the entire surface.
For fabric wallets, gentle cleaning with a mild solution can help remove stains and dirt. However, avoid aggressive products that could damage fibers or colors. Always store your wallet in a dry place away from direct sunlight to avoid discoloration or fading due to humidity.
Finally, regularly inspect seams, fastenings and other components for the first signs of wear. Early intervention can prevent small problems from developing into major damage.
