Where can I take my handbag to have the inside lining repaired?


handbags  Where can I take my handbag to have the inside lining repaired?
The inside lining of my handbag is unraveling resulting in my having to navigate criss-crossed strings to get to my belongings. It’s a nice-looking knockoff of a Prada bag and so far, the local dry cleaner and seamstress have said they don’t handle handbags. Please tell me what kind of place fixes or replaces the inside lining of handbags.

You might want to try a shoe repair shop. I know our local shop also repairs handbags – not sure about the lining though.

try and ancient-fshioned shoe repair shop… I have brought boots, shoes and handbags and they were always able to fix them… or try a tailor…

A lot of shoe repair shops repair hand bags.

You could do this yourself. Just undo the stitching that holds the lining in place, and take it out of the bag. Then make yourself a pattern using the ancient lining as the template. Cut your new lining out of whatever you want to use (material stores often have different linings on clearance). Sew it up. Make sure you end off the cut edges so they don’t unravel. (From the sound of it, this is what was incorrect with the original lining.) Then sew it back in the bag.

I would suggest the local shoe repair. They work on leather items (or vinyl in this case) and will be able to repair the bag. Chances are he might be able to replace the lining really with a lining similar to what PRADA uses.

Excellent luck.
