Bag Zip Repairs & Replacement

Zip Repairs for Bags and Wallets

We repair and replace zips on bags and wallets at our heritage workshop in Melbourne. Depending on the damage, we may be able to repair the existing zip or replace its runner rather than replace the entire zip.

Our Bag Zip Repair Services

Our services include runner replacement, full zip replacement and recrafting leather zip tags. We match replacement zips as closely as possible for size, shape and colour, and can usually retain the original puller or tag. Send photos of your bag or wallet to our team today for a quote.

Bag Zip Repairs & Replacement | FAQs

If the zip is intact but separates or will not close properly, runner realignment or replacement may be possible. We need a physical assessment to confirm whether runner replacement is suitable. Broken teeth, torn zip fabric or significant rust or corrosion require a full zip replacement.

We match replacement zips as closely as possible for size, shape and colour, rather than promise an exact match. The original puller or tag can usually be transferred. If that is not possible, we use a generic, non-branded replacement. An undamaged original runner may also be reusable.

The cost depends on whether we can repair the existing zip, replace only the runner or fit a complete replacement. Send photos of your bag and the damaged zip for a quote. Whether a runner-only replacement is possible must be confirmed through physical assessment.

We can craft a new tag from colour-matched leather if yours is lost or too damaged to repair. We replicate stitching, edge waxing and any necessary hardware replacements as closely as possible to the original. This is a recrafted tag, not a new branded component.

We can restitch bags where seams have worn or come undone, subject to the condition of the surrounding material. Loose stitching does not necessarily mean the zip needs replacing. We assess the zip and its attachment, and match thread thickness and colour as closely as possible.

You can bring your bag to our heritage workshop in Royal Arcade, Melbourne, or post it from anywhere in Australia through our online repair service. Send photos to our team to start your enquiry. A physical assessment is needed to confirm some options, including runner-only replacement.
