Bag repair
The zipper of my shoulder bag broke - what would be a good place in Geneva to take it to be repaired?

If its made of tissue maybe try someone who retouches clothes.. if not one in your area there's a small shop on the rue des Paquis.. sorry cannot remember the exact address, is on right hand side, about 2 or 3 blocks, walking away from Rue des Alpes who is good for small repairs and was reasonably priced but haven't been there for a while .For trousers/skirts for example she will provide the zipper or you can buy a zip separately from Placette, or other, and take it along. I imagine it would be the same with a bag..

If it's leather, maybe go ask in your local 'Cordonnerie'

Thanks, but the bag is leather. I asked a shoe repair shop on rue des Bains that I have been satisfied with, but they don't repair bags.

I have a leather bag that needs repair too.

It's a very simple repair,... but needs quality leather. I've asked a few shoe repair places with no luck. So, my favorite bag is just hangin until fixed.



I'll let you know if I find anything -

Unfortunately, it turned out that at Buzzano they only repair bags which were bought there.

Too bad, I didn't know that. My other guess would be this shoe repair shop:



Cordonnerie de Longemalle

Betto, J. -P.

pl. Longemalle 7

Petit passage

1204 Genève

Switzerland

+41 (22) 311-4305



but give them a call before hand :-)

The quality of the work and the price were OK, the only complaint would be that it took over one month to change one zipper in a bag. Otherwise, I can recommend them.
