    I have a lovely vintage leather handbag but the strap started coming apart and I stupidly left in with local shoe repair place who honestly made a hames of it, it makes me sad to look at it, stitched (not along original line) in wrong colour thread & liberal gluing :(
    Can anyone rec where I could bring it (dublin) that could undo bad job & re-do - the leather could do with re-dying or polishing too.

    Give Donnolly leathers on Harcourt St, they carry out all sorts of repairs in leather.

    Definitely go to the place on Harcourt St., I got a fab vintage leather attache case in a chairty shop a few years ago they did an amazing job and you would barely even know their materials used to fix it weren't the originals.
