Hmmm misplaced confidence

My lovely cobblers in Bath who can do things even Dr Marten’s refuse to do have told me there is nothing they can do to repair my bag zip as it as “pocket zip” meaning their machines won’t work with the way the zip is constructed. A local Timpsons and independent shoe repair had also given me similar responses.

I got the iron zip stopper off following instructions off the internet but the zip has only come off one line of zip so far so I can’t yet repair it with my jewellery making pliers!
