fixing suitcases and bags etc
Hi there i am in brisbane,queensland around the strathpine area for a few months from the uk,but while coming over here my only second time used suit case the zip where it stops the part that stops the zip coming off came off and now the zip can fall right off,ok easy probably to sort with a few lines of thread as a stop but i noticed since i put the zip back on its not working right,anyone know places around this area or maybe a little further i can have get fixed i have no idea what sort of business would have a look and quote me a price and fix,is there places that can do this as the case is still pretty good.
I can get away with not fixing it and looking all three zips together but bag can still open slightly if i did not do this the case can still open all the way up,as it has a double sided zip.
I also have a hand luggage holdall with wheels again first time used maybe i just was too heavy with it when coming over the strap web of the handle is about to snap off and leaving me with three handles attached,im sure with some sort of stitching or something this would sort easy again no idea what sort of place would do this for me.
I require these done asap as going away for a week and also for when i return back to the uk,any help would be great.

See an upholsterer, they maybe able to do something, otherwise you may have to consider buying another suitcase. This is the closest one that I could find on www.yellowpages.com.au
