Handbag and purse repair
Handles, straps, corners, linings and hardware — including the bags you are nervous about handing over.

Bags fail in the same few places: the handle where it folds, the corners where it sets down, the lining seam, and the zip. All four are repairable, and all four are better repaired than replaced on a bag worth keeping.
The shop's own gallery is mostly bags: a vintage Louis Vuitton Speedy fitted with D-rings so it could take a shoulder strap, a Gucci redone, a vintage Chanel that a customer said came back looking brand new, a felt-and-leather bag with the bottom corners reinforced, a Tumi with a new zip and a re-sewn top handle. That is the range.
What the job covers
- Handles re-stitched, re-wrapped or replaced
- D-rings and strap hardware added or replaced
- Corners reinforced and re-edged
- Linings and pockets repaired or replaced
- Zips, clasps, magnets and feet
- Color touch-up and edge paint
Bring it in if…
- A handle is cracking where it bends
- The corners have worn through
- The lining has torn or a pocket has split
- You want a strap added to a bag that never had one

What people said after this exact job.
“I had an amazing experience with Robert's Shoe Repair! Robert made me a brand-new custom crocodile bag from scratch, and the craftsmanship is incredible. The quality, attention to detail, stitching, and overall finish came out absolutely beautiful. You can tell he takes real pride in his work and knows his craft. If you're looking for someone who can do more than just repairs and actually create high-quality custom pieces, I highly recommend Robert's Shoe Repair.”
“Love coming here. Very friendly service, convenient location, and great prices, highly recommended! I've been coming here for several years now and continue to come back because it's always a great experience. Their quality is unmatched whether it's everyday shoes, belts, handbags, or more delicate items that require extra attention to detail. They are true master craftsmen, and the work never disappoints.”
“I have a vintage LV speedy that I was not using because of the handles, I asked the guys if they could add D rings so that I could add a shoulder strap. They were all so friendly, and professional. Not to mention they did an amazing job on the project. I am obsessed with the bag now, and so excited that I have a new expert team to help me maintain my leather goods collection.”
“Robert's Shoe Repair is absolutely amazing! They brought my Gucci shoes back to life — they honestly look as good as new. The attention to detail, craftsmanship, and friendliness went far beyond what I expected. You're not just walking into a shoe repair shop; you're walking into a family business where they genuinely treat you like family. It's rare to find this level of quality and personal service anymore. They've earned a customer for life.”
“I wish I could give more than five stars! Robert and his team saved me, my sanity and my feet — I bought a gorgeous pair of Nicholas Kirkwood gold leather slingback sandals for a wedding but the ankle straps were too small and tight to be comfortable. They found a perfect color match and extended the strap with perfectly matching gold leather so I could walk and dance more comfortably. The shoes are impeccably perfect! I wore them 12+ hours comfortably and danced for hours with no worries about the strap thanks to their handiwork.”
“Robert is the best! If you need any high-end pieces repaired, he's your go-to. He left me absolutely speechless with the repair of my vintage Chanel bag — it looks brand new! This is definitely the place to trust with your treasured items.”

Can you add a shoulder strap to a bag that doesn't have one?
That exact job is in the gallery — D-rings fitted to a vintage LV Speedy so it could take a strap. Bring the bag and the strap you have in mind.
