SoleHeeled offers convenient and affordable Yves Saint Laurent bag repairs by Australia’s best craftsmen, with free shipping to your door. This case study outlines how we recently repaired a customer’s Yves Saint Laurent bag.
The bag
This Yves Saint Laurent bag is a lightweight, stylish accessory and, although accompanied by a hefty price tag, undoubtedly a welcome addition to any lady's wardrobe. YSL's bags are made of high-quality materials and carefully sewn together by hand. But even so, the zipper on this particular bag broke.
When this customer reached out to us for a free diagnosis/quote, we offered to replace the broken zipper with an entirely new one. Our preference is always to repair an existing zipper (usually by adjusting or replacing the runner that runs along the teeth of the zipper), a zipper needs to be replaced wherever the zipper's teeth are broken or the material surrounding them is ripped — in this case, the zipper's teeth had broken and so the zipper needed to be replaced with an entirely new one.
Zipper replacement
We firstly unstitched and removed the existing zipper and then preparing and hand stitching onto the bag a replacement zipper manufactured by Japan's YKK — manufacturers of zippers for luxury fashion houses around the world.
