SoleHeeled offers convenient and affordable Maison Margiela handbag repairs by Australia’s best craftsmen, with free shipping to your door. This case study outlines how we recently repaired a customer’s Maison Margiela handbag.
The handbag
This Maison Margiela 5AC (taking its name from the French word for bag, ‘sac’) was in great shape but the hardware connecting the handles to the handle mount, and thereby the body of the bag, had broken. When the customer reached out to us for a free diagnosis/quote, we offered to repair the hardware and re-secure the handle to the bag.
Handbag strap repair
The hardware connecting one of the bag’s handles to the handle mount on the body of the bag had lost the pin through which the leather handle end was looped. The loop was missing but we were able to find in stock in our workshop a replacement pin that fit just right. So we inserted the pin through the handle’s existing loop and then re-installed the pin in place on the handle mount’s hardware.

This Louis Vuitton Neverfull had seen better days, with the leather binding and strapping visibly worn and the monogram canvas around the bottom corners worn through. We replaced the leather parts and altered the bag to remove the damaged canvas.
