What needs repair?

Briefcases

We can replace piping and binding/trim around the perimeter of your bag.

We can repair torn or worn tabs, rebuild straps and handles, reseal edges, and shorten shoulder straps. If your briefcase did not come with a way to attach a strap, we will modify the bag to accommodate a strap.

Torn seams can be resewn, or we can replace the liner altogether.

Rivets, locks, buckles, snaps, feet, magnets, closures, and other hardware can be repaired or replaced.

Light cleaning and refinishing can be performed in cases of stained or worn leather or lining.

Luggage & Duffel Bags

A zipper pull can become weak and break, and we have generic options available. If the slider is off track, we can realign or replace most sliders. When the zipper tape is torn, or teeth are missing, we can replace the zipper.

We can source generic replacement wheels when yours are broken or missing.

We can repair or replace side/top handles and retractable handles. We can custom make leather handles, or source similar handles.

Some luggage pieces have protective “bumpers” along one side. These can crack or tear, and we can custom create new ones or order compatible parts.

If your interior lining detaches from the frame, we can repair and reattach it.

Rivets, feet, D-rings, clasps, snaps, and other hardware can be repaired or replaced.

Light cleaning and refinishing can be performed in cases of stained or worn leather or lining.

Overdelivered – Wow!

“Sent away a vintage Louis Vuitton City Steamer bag for a buckle strap repair…and I am shocked at the quality of work. The level of expertise is not only the craftsmanship, but the leather “oxidation color matching” to the existing body of leather is WILD! I cannot believe my eyes! I opened the box and thought that I was looking at a brand new bag, it’s perfection through and through! Beyond satisfied and incredibly pleased with my entire experience with Rago Brothers.”
