• Criteria for Repair: We can only replace zippers on unstructured bags, meaning they have no padding or stiffeners and the bag or pack can be easily turned inside out. If your bag does not meet these criteria, it may be deemed unrepairable. In this case, return shipping fees won’t be covered.
  • Bags and packs must be clean and dry.
• Additional Information: Full zipper replacements include YKK brand luggage-grade zippers.

We prioritize durability and function while matching your damaged item’s original color and aesthetic. Let us know if you prefer a contrasting patch, playful color, or print!
