Purses. Handbags. Totes. Wallets.
We'll Fix All Your Favorites.
Crossbody, clutch, pocketbook, hip pouch, pochette. No matter what you call your precious carrier-of-all-things, it’s something that becomes a part of you as you travel together through all of life’s adventures. And when your carryall gets banged up, bruised, torn, or dirty, Houston Shoe Hospital can repair it!
Our skilled purse-makers have decades of experience, and we can fix just about anything ranging from tears in the leather to broken hardware. Purse repair can be complex, as each job is custom and completed by hand. Often, our craftsmen must sew through 3-4 layers of leather, strapping, and lining to make a delicate repair.
We understand that your handbag has a story to tell, and we promise to show it the care it deserves to go on living more lifetimes by your side.
"Repairs are our passion. We fix all brands, all styles, all shapes, and all colors. If you can wear it, we can repair it!"

Zipper & Zipper Pull Repair
We’ve all experienced the aggravation of a zipper coming un-tracked or breaking during use. Even the loss of a tiny zipper pull can be a headache. All is not lost!
Most damaged or non-working zippers can be re-tracked, and we can install a new zipper pull quite easily. We will also completely replace the entire zipper if absolutely needed.
Our Houston Shoe Hospital cobblers maintain a vast collection of zippers and zipper pulls to match the original as closely as possible, so you’ll never know the difference.
Lost & Broken Hardware
Missing a buckle or snap? Our cobblers will replace lost or broken hardware like d-rings, buckles, gate hooks, feet, rivets, and more.
At the Houston Shoe Hospital, we inventory thousands of pieces of hardware in several different finishes, including many styles of rivets—round heads, raised heads and flat heads—as well as hundreds of gate hooks.
We know how important it is to best match the original hardware of your handbag, and we have a near limitless collection on hand for our craftsmen to work with.
Handle & Strap Repair
Over time, stitching can wear down and begin to break in the handles and straps of your pack. And in extreme cases, teething puppies have been known to destroy a perfectly good strap. Not to worry! Houston Shoe Hospital can help!
We can re-stitch and repair torn handles and straps using a large variety of colored polyester threads to not only match your favorite stitch, but to provide the greatest strength.
We can also custom-build (or re-build) a new handle or strap to completely replace the old one. Once made, we will dye-to-match the color of your bag to ensure your new strap or handle looks as good as the original.
Handbag Cleaning & Recondition
Inevitably, your purse is going to get dirty from everyday use no matter how careful you are. Even your blue jeans can innocently transfer their color onto a light-colored bag simply from rubbing on one another during a casual stroll.
To clean and restore your handbag, our Houston Shoe Hospital craftsmen will do a deep clean to remove any dirt and stains, add dye where necessary to restore color, and then deeply recondition your parcel back to its youthful glory.
​
Suede must be dry cleaned or finely sanded when cleaning to ensure dirt and stains can be removed. We work the stains out gently without harming the suede, and then waterproof for long-lasting protection.
Do you remember that buttery soft leather you fell in love with when you purchased your purse? We can bring it back.
My Dog Ate My Purse!
So your dog thinks your favorite purse is a chew toy, does she? Don’t panic!
You’d be surprised how often we see articles that have been chewed up by dogs at Houston Shoe Hospital. Let us take a look.
9 times out of 10 we can fix them right up. No need to be upset at Bingo for long.
