Why do COACH bag handles break?
Although COACH tote bags are known for their durability, long-term use, heavy loading, and sunlight exposure can cause handle seams to loosen and leather fibers to weaken.
If not repaired in time, it can affect both the appearance and the bag’s structural strength.
🧰 COACH Tote Bag Repair Process

New leather is cut according to the original size, reinforced with fiber lining, and edge-sealed under heat pressure for strength and smoothness.
This ensures the new handle has enhanced firmness, durability, and carrying strength (+30%).
