Leather repairs are most diverse services. They can be the work of a [[leather shoes|shoemaker]], cobbler, an [[Saddlers - Upholsterers|upholsterer, a saddler, a trimmer]] or a tailor. However, there are also leather repair companies that specialise in repairing leather without getting involved in any stitching work. These will repair minor damages (rips, tears, scuffs etc.) and colour leather without replacing it.

Do leather repairs make sense? Products made of [[leather quality|quality leather]] are exceptionally durable. With [[leather shoes|shoes]], the sole, rather than the upper leather, suffers and, for many leather objects the [[Leather seams|seams]] or zips  get damaged first. Shoemakers, [[Saddlers - Upholsterers|saddlers, upholsterers]] or [https://www.colourlock.com/ professional leather repairers] can significantly extend the life of the leather object. Because of the [[leather quality|durability of leather]], repairs make ecological and economic sense. An object with a long life span is more sustainable than having to constantly replace it with a new version.

==Upholsterer==
−
An upholsterer is specialised in upholstered furniture. Previously, re-upholstering furniture was a normal activity. But, today the cost of recovering an item with leather is very expensive and can be the same as buying a new piece of leather furniture. As a result, upholsterers are often asked to repair a certain panel of the seat or make other repairs to the furniture.

LEATHER-DICTIONARY.jpg

Leather repair - leather repairs

Leather repairs are most diverse services. They can be the work of a shoemaker, cobbler, an upholsterer, a saddler, a trimmer or a tailor. However, there are also leather repair companies that specialise in repairing leather without getting involved in any stitching work. These will repair minor damages (rips, tears, scuffs etc.) and colour leather without replacing it.

Do leather repairs make sense? Products made of quality leather are exceptionally durable. With shoes, the sole, rather than the upper leather, suffers and, for many leather objects the seams or zips get damaged first. Shoemakers, saddlers, upholsterers or leather repairers can significantly extend the life of the leather object. Because of the durability of leather, repairs make ecological and economic sense. An object with a long life span is more sustainable than having to constantly replace it with a new version.


Shoemaker - Cobbler

Shoemakers and cobblers carry out all kinds of leather repairs. Leather is polished, soles are replaced, shoes and boots are expanded, zips are changed and repaired, belts are shortened or holes are punched. You can always go to a shoemaker if you have problems with leather clothing of any kind, including shoes, trousers, jackets, bags, suitcases, belts, hats or leather accessories. If they cannot help, they will be able to recommend someone who can.

Upholsterer

An upholsterer is specialised in upholstered furniture. Previously, re-upholstering furniture was a normal activity. But, today the cost of recovering an item with leather is very expensive and can be the same as buying a new piece of leather furniture. As a result, upholsterers are often asked to repair a certain panel of the seat or make other repairs to the furniture.

Saddler - Trimmer

Trimmers specialise in re-covering upholstery in vehicles. It is often necessary to change the worn-out side bolsters of the car seats. Some saddlers also offer smaller colour repair services because new leather cannot always be purchased in the same colour or in smaller quantities. A saddler on the other hand carries out traditional works on saddles.

Tailors - Leather clothing manufacturer

Tailors repair leather clothing of all kinds with needle and thread. Ripped buttons, damaged zips, the exchange of a collar or shortening, stretching or lengthening are typical works. Only a few companies in developed countries are still specialised in the new production of leather clothing. They usually also carry out modifications and repairs.

Bag repair specialists

A bag repair specialist is specialised in bags and cases. From production to the exchange of handles, belts and locks, everything falls into this area.

Leather repair shops

Leather repair shops that repair leather without needles and thread are unusual and deal with all kinds of leather damages. Historically there was no such business.

Such leather repair companies must always assess the leather damage in terms of whether the leather is still stable and durable so that a leather repair is still worthwhile for the customer. If a repair is no longer useful, a saddler or upholstery has to replace the leather. Often, the saddler or upholstery need a leather colouring company, which helps to adapt a suitable leather, which is no longer available in the leather trade. Especially when repairing old leather of classic cars there should be a cooperation between a leather repair company and a saddlery.
