Accessory Repairs
The most common repairs I get asked about are bag straps/fastenings and belts. Over the years I have had items as varied as binoculars, hat boxes, collar boxes, an oxen yoke, tool rolls, trunk handles all come across my workbench.
There are a lot of repairs I cannot take on, I don’t work with softer leather that is used in clothing or upholstery, and the construction of many handbags means I can’t always do a necessary repair. However I am always happy to take a look at a photo and offer suggestions on who might be able to help.
