Travel bags are subject to a great deal of movement, impact and handling, which can lead to wear and tear of the inner lining. Rather than discarding or replacing your bag, repairing the lining is an economical and environmentally responsible solution. At **TILLI**, our leather goods Makers offer you a tailor-made service to repair or replace the lining of your travel bags, combining craftsmanship and quality materials for an impeccable result.
The lining of a travel bag plays an essential role in protecting your belongings and maintaining the structure of the bag. When it's damaged, it can make using your bag uncomfortable or impractical. Here's why repairing the lining is a great option:
- Extend the life of your bag: By repairing or replacing the lining, you give your travel bag a second life, avoiding the need to buy a new one.
- Save money: Repairing the lining is often cheaper than replacing the whole bag. It's a cost-effective solution that allows you to keep a bag you already love.
- Adopt an eco-responsible approach: Repairing rather than replacing helps to reduce waste and prolong the use of existing products. At TILLI, we promote this sustainable approach by offering repair solutions tailored to each need.
At TILLI, our leather goods artisans offer several solutions depending on the condition of the lining of your travel bag:
Repairing minor tears.
If the lining of your bag has small tears or snags, our Makers can repair them using discreet sewing techniques. This intervention preserves the integrity of the lining without needing to replace it entirely.
Seam reinforcement
Travel bags are often subjected to heavy loads, which can cause the inner seams to loosen or break. Our Makers reinforce worn or fragile seams to ensure the strength and durability of the lining.
Complete lining replacement.
For bags with excessive damage or wear to the lining, a full replacement may be required. Our Makers choose quality materials that are durable and aesthetically pleasing to match the style of your travel bag. You can also personalise the lining by opting for a different colour or pattern, giving your bag a unique touch.
Adding interior pockets or compartments.
When replacing the lining, our Makers can also add extra internal pockets or compartments, tailored to your needs. These options make your bag more practical and functional, optimising storage space.
At TILLI, every travel bag is taken care of by experienced artisans who specialise in leather goods and bag repairs:

The travel bag lining repair process at **TILLI** follows a precise protocol, guaranteeing a quality result:
1. Initial assessment: Our Makers examine the condition of your bag's lining to determine the most suitable solution (partial repair or full replacement).
2. Choice of materials: Depending on your preferences, we select a lining that matches the style and characteristics of your travel bag. You can opt for a lining similar to the original or choose a more personalised alternative.
3. Carrying out the repair or replacement: Our Makers carry out the repair or install the new lining with care, ensuring that every seam is strong and unobtrusive.
4. Finishing and quality control: Before returning your bag, we check every detail to ensure that the lining is in perfect condition and that the repair meets our quality standards.
To avoid damage to your bag too quickly, here are a few maintenance tips:
- Avoid sharp objects: When placing objects in your travel bag, be sure to wrap them up or place them in pockets to prevent damage to the lining.
- Clean the inside regularly: Regular cleaning with a soft cloth will remove any residue and keep the lining in good condition.
- Don't overload your bag: Respect the capacity of your bag to prevent the seams from stretching or the lining from tearing under the weight.

At TILLI, our leather goods artisans can help you with this process by offering you tailor-made services, adapted to the condition of your bag and your desires.
