Don't throw out that handbag, backpack or piece of luggage because of a broken strap, tear or busted zipper. Have these items repaired at your local shoe repair shop. You'll be amazed at the low-cost and high quality service you'll receive on the repair of all kinds of things even belts, gloves, bags, etc.

Good tip !!!!!!!!! Get a written estimate of the work though, I have a zipper replaced in my dh's jacket and didn't have them write the estimate, they tried to charge me more than I paid for the jacket......

Good idea, this would be true for shoes too, to have them resoled is a great way to save a great pair of shoes.
