Bag & shoe repair for Kochi

We already have Kerala orders in our book. Kochi to Mumbai is two to three days by courier, and the quote comes to you before anything is picked up.

Book a pickup

How it works from Kochi

  1. Send photographs on WhatsApp. The whole piece, and a close shot of whatever is wrong.
  2. We quote. A price and a timeline, before anything is collected.
  3. Courier pickup from your address — ₹250 anywhere in India, about 2–3 days each way to reach us.
  4. We photograph it on arrival and send you the pictures, so we both agree on its condition.
  5. The work is done in Mumbai by hand, and you get progress photos.
  6. It comes back to your door once the balance is paid.

Kerala’s humidity means mould and lining smell more than scratches. Photograph the inside of the bag as well as the outside.

Which areas of Kochi we take work from

Everywhere, in practice — a courier is a courier. Most of our Kochi work comes from Panampilly Nagar, Marine Drive, Kakkanad, Vyttila and Fort Kochi.

Questions from Kochi

Do you have a shop in Kochi?

No — we are one workshop in Andheri West, Mumbai, and that is deliberate: the same artisans do every piece. Your bag travels to us by courier and comes back to your door. Transit is about 2–3 days each way.

What does it cost to send it from Kochi?

₹250 covers courier pickup from anywhere in India outside our Mumbai area. The repair itself is quoted separately, from your photographs, before anything is collected.

How long will the whole thing take?

Around 8–10 days of work for most pieces, plus 2–3 days courier both ways. We confirm the timeline with your quote.

Is my bag safe in transit?

We use a tracked courier, we photograph your piece the moment it reaches us and again before it goes back, and you see both. If something is not right, you tell us before it leaves.

How do I pay from Kochi?

A payment link on WhatsApp — UPI, card or net banking. You pay after you have approved the quote, and the balance before the piece is returned.
