How to repair your handbag lining?

A torn or worn-out lining can quickly make your handbag less practical to use and reduce its value. But this common problem doesn't mean it's time to replace your favourite accessory. Restoring a handbag's lining is a simple, long-lasting and cost-effective way to restore its functionality and charm.
At TILLI, we understand the importance of your handbags, whether they are of sentimental value or of high quality. Our specialist leather goods Makers carefully repair damaged linings, ensuring that each bag is restored in a durable and aesthetically pleasing way.

Why repair your handbag rather than replace it?

Replacing a quality handbag can be expensive, especially if it's a top-of-the-range model or a piece with special sentimental value. Repairing the lining is a more economical and environmentally-friendly alternative that allows you to keep an accessory that is close to your heart. Restoring your accessory also means avoiding contributing to textile waste.
What's more, repairing your bag will restore its usefulness. A lining in good condition protects your belongings, keeps them organised and ensures that your bag remains comfortable to use. At TILLI, our Makers work with adapted materials and precise techniques to ensure that each repair is solid, harmonious and durable.

How do I repair a handbag lining?

When you entrust your handbag to our Makers, every detail is meticulously examined to ensure an impeccable result.
The repair begins with a thorough inspection of the inside of the bag. This crucial step allows us to assess the extent of the damage, whether it's a frayed seam, worn fabric or a lining that needs to be completely replaced.
If a simple seam is all that's needed, our Makers will carry out a repair that's both solid and discreet. For badly damaged linings, we offer partial or full replacement.
Once the new lining is in place, our Makers ensure that the Finishing is impeccable. The interior of the bag is restored to its original functional and aesthetic condition.

Care for your handbag after repairing the lining.

Once the lining of your handbag has been restored, there are a few simple steps you can take to prolong its life.
Avoid overloading your bag to limit the pressure on the seams and interior fabric. Clean the inside regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and residue, and use pockets to organise your belongings and protect the lining from unnecessary rubbing.
When the bag is not in use, store it in a dry place away from moisture, ideally in a protective cover. These little touches will preserve the repair and ensure that your bag remains functional and stylish for many years to come.

Repairing the lining of a handbag is a responsible solution for extending the life of your accessories.
