SoleHeeled offers convenient and affordable Mulberry handbag repairs by Australia’s best craftsmen, with free shipping to your door. This case study outlines how we recently repaired a customer’s Mulberry handbag.
The handbag
The zipper on this Mulberry bag had broken, with the fabric surrounding the zipper’s teeth having torn. When the customer reached out to us for a free diagnosis/quote, we offered to replace the zipper with an entirely new one.
While repairing a broken zipper is often possibly, it is not when the zipper’s teeth are missing or damaged or where the fabric surrounding the zipper’s teeth is torn — as it was in this case.
Zipper replacement
We started off by removing the existing zipper, by undoing the stitching along each side of it and then carefully picking out the old stitching thread. We then sourced a matching, high-quality YKK zipper and stitched that into place, following the original stitching lines. We finally removed the original Mulberry-branded zipper runner/slider and pull from the old zipper and installed it on the new one.
