APC Bag Seam Repair

If a seam on an APC has split, broken or blown out, can it be fixed? Yes, we can usually fix any issues with the seam on an APC bag. Depending on the bag or the style steams and held together in a number of ways from stitching them to gluing them or some combination.

If a bag has been used for a long time, over filled or filled with heavy items it can be common for the seams to start to separate or in a worst case scenario completely give way and make the bag unusable.

Depending on the type of seam we can usually repair it using the original construction methods to get it back to looking and holding your items just like new. And in a majority of cases you will never even know that the seam has been replaced.

APC Bag Zipper Fixing & Repair

It’s common for the zipper on any style of bag to break or become sticky or hard to use with age. Sometimes the zipper pull will come off or the zipper itself and actually break off. This type of zipper issue can be repaired on APC bags by either fixing the original zipper or replacing it if needed.

Sometimes the issue with the zipper is a little less drastic. Perhaps some of the small teeth have become worn, bent or broken from use and this can make the zipper stick or sometimes not pull all the way. A minor bend in a tooth can sometimes be fixed or other times it may require replacing the entire zipper, but don’t worry that can almost always be done.

APC Tote Style Bag Cleaning, Repair & Fixing

The classic tote bag design is typically an open topped bag with good depth and easy storage along with 2 parallel handles that allow it to be comfortably carried over your shoulder or in your hand.

With this design, the most common types of repairs we see are repairing worn parts around the handles, bag seams or attachments. Additionally, like most other bags they can often get stained, dirty or have small cracks in leather or tears from lots of use.

Clutch Or Wristlet Repair, Cleaning & Fixing

A APC clutch is traditionally a small handbag that is small enough to easily be carried in one hand or by tucking it under your arm. They have no straps or handles attached to them which makes them smaller, more streamlined and less bulky than more traditional bags. The smaller design obviously limits carrying ability so they are often used for more formal evening occasions where you may only need to carry a few critical items.

With a clutch not having any handles or straps the most common repair needs are often around cleaning, removing stains or fixing patches of wear or fraying seems.

Crossbody Bag Repair, Cleaning & Fixing

If you are a bit of a minimalist and like the APC clutch concept of a smaller or medium sized bag to carry just the essentials, but also want to keep you hands free you may be a big fan of the crossbody style bag that has a strap to wear securely across your shoulder.

Crossbody bags come in most often with fraying around the seams or edges, zippers that have stopped working or had the zipper fabric separate from the main bag body. Additionally, adding the strap begins to bring in the usual issues with strap separation or breaking, broken clips or clasps or staining or tears.

Shoulder Bag Repair, Cleaning & Fixing

Shoulder bags are closest to tote bags with a few key differences. The first and most notable is that a shoulder bag only has a single shoulder strap instead of a tote bag that has 2 separate straps.

Additionally, a shoulder bag is much more likely to have different storage options inside like different pockets, zippered pouches or organizers.

The most common repairs needed on a APC shoulder bag are repairs to zippers, straps as well as staining or tears. In particular people often need to repair the linings or interiors of the bag that have been damaged by carrying many different things or stained.

Messenger Bag Repair, Cleaning & Fixing

Messenger bags are a cross between a shoulder bag and a tote. The most often feature a wide strap to be worn over one shoulder and across your body for a secure and comfortable carrying. The bag itself is usually one large pocket with a fold over flap that can either be worn on your lower back or across your side. Some APC styles will have some interior smaller pockets or zippered pockets.

Messenger bags are often built to be very sturdy, so we usually see them coming in for cleaning or the repair of buckles. Usually the straps and seams hold up extremely well but in the case your messenger bag does need some seam repairs or straps reattached, that can usually be done!

APC Satchel Bag Repairs Or Fixes

Satchel bags come with a single shoulder strap and are most often designed to carry books or a laptop. So you will tend to find them in sizes that easily carry 8.5 x 11 paper or standard laptop sizes. The back of the satchel folds over like a messenger bag to create a closing lid. In many ways a satchel is similar to a briefcase, except that it has soft sides. You will usually find satchels made from leather as well.

Satchel repairs are most often around cleaning or removing of stains that have come from being an everyday use bag. Additionally repairs for satchel bags may include repairing or replacing their straps, tending to worn or split seams and replacing any broken buckles.

Best APC bag Leather Conditioner

If you have a APC bag with leather that is dry, cracking or just looking a little tired then the best cure is a good quality leather conditioner to make it soft and look and feel like new leather again. 

The key to choosing the best leather conditioner is one that is going to be natural with no silicone or solvents that could damage the leather. It’s also a great pulse to check out the conditioner from Leather Honey because it’s also odorless and is water repellant.
