Absolutely thrilled. I sent my 17 yr old LV handbag to have a shoulder strap attached. The new strap is an almost perfect match to the existing handles, even the stitching is the same. Will absolutely use them again and highly recommend them.

Looking for a Louis Vuitton bag repair?
There is no substitute for an authentic Louis Vuitton bag. The laborious craft of making one involves a level of impeccable intricacy that elevates Louis Vuitton's bags well above the multitude of mass-produced counterfeits. These cheap imitations seek to take advantage of the brand's global reputation, as one of the foremost luxury fashion houses, but none truly come close to passing the test of time or the discerning eyes of a real Louis Vuitton fan.
While intricately made from sturdy materials, including the brand's iconic monogram canvas, LV bags are far from indestructible. The fresh vachetta leather is supposed to naturally develop a patina over time, but the bags eventually start to show signs of deterioration. For example, the vachetta leather may start cracking / tearing, the inner linings might disintegrate, the canvas and zippers might tear, and the straps or handles might become dark and greasy.
But do not be tempted to believe that your worn Louis Vuitton bag is necessarily destined for landfill, along with the money you spent on it and the memories you have made with it. Minor damage can often be taken care of with a straightforward Louis Vuitton repair service, while bags in various states of disrepair can be revitalised with a professional Louis Vuitton restoration service.
Why you should use SoleHeeled for your Louis Vuitton repair
If you are looking for a Louis Vuitton bag repair near you, then look no further. SoleHeeled makes it easier than ever to get a top-quality Louis Vuitton repair in Australia, no matter where you are located.
Decades of experience
We have been repairing and restoring designer bags since 1955. Over decades, our craftsmen have developed the experience and know-how to give your Louis Vuitton bags the special attention they deserve. For example:
If you are looking for a Louis Vuitton strap replacement, then we can craft and install a new leather strap based on the original Louis Vuitton design.
If you are looking for a Louis Vuitton zipper replacement, then we can replace zipper sliders and pulls and even entire zippers with new ones.
If the canvas and vachetta leather is torn, stained or otherwise looking tired, then we can repair, clean and refurbish your Louis Vuitton bag.
If the piping is torn or scuffed and discoloured, then we can perform a Louis Vuitton piping repair or replace the piping entirely.
Beyond the variety of our Louis Vuitton bag repair services, few in the industry are able to match the level of craftsmanship we offer — just as replica LV bags cannot live up to the quality of the originals. With an authentic LV bag, you should expect nothing less than the best possible LV bag repair.

About Louis Vuitton
Since its founding in Paris in 1854, Louis Vuitton has remained synonymous with innovative design and pristine craftsmanship — qualities that remain so relevant and valuable in a fashion brand today. Starting with travel trunks that sat atop carts and carriages, Louis Vuitton is now a pre-eminent fashion brand across virtually all categories, popular with and recognised by consumers around the world.
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.
