Bag Hardware Repair: Clasps, Zips and Straps

Hardware is the jewellery of a bag. When it fails, the whole piece feels worn.

Common hardware problems

• Tarnish and scratches on gold or silver-tone metal.
• Loose or broken clasps and turn-locks.
• Zipper sliders that no longer close.
• Worn or cracked straps and handles.

What we can do

• Polish and refinish metal hardware.
• Repair or replace clasps and fittings.
• Replace zipper sliders or full zippers.
• Remake straps and handles in matching leather.

Preventing hardware damage

• Keep perfume and lotion away from metal.
• Wrap hardware in tissue during storage.
• Don't overfill your bag, which strains clasps and zips.
