I need to have my trusty 10+ year old Tumi messenger bag repaired (split seam). It's long out of warranty, so I'll have to pay.

I'm going to contact Tumi UK, but if anyone has any recommendations for anyone independent, that'd be great.

Cheers

Try your local Mister Minute/shoe menders, my local one re-stiched a rucksack zip for me.

Cheers both. Will investigate both.

I have determined that this is the only work bag I will ever have. A split seam after 10 years of abuse is pretty good going, I think....

Gaffer tape.

I once had a client who would arrive for meetings with a gaffer taped briefcase. When the sale of his business fell through, he left it in our offices filled with due diligence docs. It was sent to document archive.

I'll be looking for something a little more, er, artisan.

Given your user name I'll assume you don't mean the north of London, otherwise I'd have said KG shoes on Eversholy street, ace shop, cobblers as mentioned above.

Brilliant moment in there when my wife asked if they took card payment, their till is older than both of us put together I reckon!
