We've used the cobbler who is on West Street in Chippy. Acerbic, but excellent work repairing shoes and other things. Recommended.

Very recently I had a zipper replaced on a leather backpack by S&S Shoe Repairs and Services in Witney and they did an excellent job.  They seem to be all-round shoe and leather repairers, and very nice to deal with.  At 44 Corn Street.

Does anyone know whether this has changed since 2015? Looking for a saddler/leather worker (or a proper cobbler) who can do a few small jobs on shoes.

I bought a leather handbag/satchel from the shoe shop in Chippy ((on New Street) and it needed a repair sometime later. They sent it off to a very good man, who did a lovely job, so you could enquire there? It was a long while ago but perhaps worth a call and the woman there is very helpful.

Heather, great idea, thanks.

You probably need to get in touch with a saddler (the nearest one I know of is Rimmells in Shipston on Stour) or someone who repairs shoes, they may be able to guide you in the right direction.

Plenty in the museum

I'm very attached to a very old leather handbag whose lining has lost the will to live. Does anyone have leather-working tools or skills that they could put at my disposal?
