Hi - I have a leather hand bag made of quite thick leather, and is very structured. The zip is broken. Does anyone know of someone locally who could replace the zip for me? I have tried dry cleaners, shoe repairers including the one near East Dulwich train station (who made it worse), but to no avail! Thank you for any suggestions.

I'm so grateful for all the suggestions, thank you. I tried the manufacturer (Radley) a while ago and they said they'd have to send it to China to be repaired which seemed rather overkill to me. I'll def try the person next to LL post office and then maybe the website suggestion will be the next best bet. Thank you again all and I guess a sign of our times where we can't fix things so easily.

I would definitely go via the manufacturer they will do the best job, and if it?s not repairable you?ll probably get a new one. I work in the fashion industry on the bag side and there are specific machines that do this kind of job, there are a few people left in the uk, which I could help you with but it won?t be cheap.


It might take a bit of time but at least you?ll get it done.

There is a place in Peckham which makes handbags.


I don't know the name but it is on the main road near Nigel Road and on that side.


It doesn't look like a shop, it is "closed" but it has a sign up saying something like "by appointment only"with a phone number I think.


I will see if I can find more details.

Sorry have tried googling but with no success, I guess you would have to go down there.


It should be quite easy to find.


It has been mentioned on this forum in the past, but I can't find that either. It might have been before the forum was revamped and old threads were deleted, plus I don't know what to search on apart from handbags!


Good luck!

      Christmas Cheese!

      Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive! Yay, so I can get discounted mouse nibbled cheese still! Oooo, now I do love a Stinking Bishop. It actually offends my stepmum by it's stinkiness but luckily she is not one of the attendees at this particular gathering.  This is blooming genius. It's actually my partner who has the biggest issue with buying in plastic so I will have to hide the wrappers from him!

      I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.

      William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
