DIY Vintage Gucci Strap Repair (Imperfect but Cheap!)
Channel: Oogle at Luxury
Date: 2021-04-07

Come check out how I reinforced the torn strap on my vintage Gucci crossbody. I purchased this bag pre-loved from Poshmark, and I spent a lot of time cleaning out the interior of the bag. So, I was bummed when I realized that the strap was torn. Probably my fault for never conditioning the leather. In this video, I'll use leather glue to start repairing the strap, and I will also reinforce the torn area with some craft leather from Michael's. This is not going to be a perfect, invisible repair. Instead, it's a temporary fix for now, since I plan on never selling this bag. Maybe one day I'll actually fully replace the strap.
