SoleHeeled offers convenient and affordable Louis Vuitton bag repairs by Australia’s best craftsmen, with free shipping to your door. This case study outlines how we recently restored a customer’s Louis Vuitton bag.
The bag
The zipper on this Louis Vuitton messenger bag had started coming away from the bag, with the stitching line attaching the zipper to the bag having thinned out over time. When the customer reached out to us for a free diagnosis/quote, we offered to replace the zipper with an entirely new one.
Zipper replacement
While a zipper repair would have been possible in many cases, the zipper needed to be replaced entirely in this case because in some parts of the zipper the material at the edges had frayed so much that a new stitching line would not have been strong enough to produce a sustainable repair. So we replaced the original zipper with a high-quality, brand new YKK zipper, and we were able to retain the original Louis Vuitton zipper pull — in the end, everything was as good as new.
