Broke the straps off my bag and got them fixed wonderfully. The finish looks very professional and would definitely recommend.

Beyond helpful and responsive. Wasn't sure if they repaired things like Catcher's Bags, and submitted a contact form. Burt got back to me right away - on their day off, mind you - and was able to help me the very next day. PARENTS! Don't forgot about this gem for all your kids sporting bags. They have a lot of great travel products in house, too.

We enjoyed an incredible experience with Traveling Bags. Our Double BOB stroller ripped just days prior to our trip to Disney World. The good people at Traveling Bags agreed to attempt a fix on December 23rd, with a snow storm looming. They stitched up the stroller in hours and we used it almost every minute on our vacation. The timely service made our trip a success.

Fast, efficient, careful service. Dropped off an ancient Briggs & Riley suitcase that needed new handles and wheels on Saturday and the repair was completed by Monday. Very nice people!

Recently had a piece of luggage repaired by Traveling Bags Luggage & Repair, they were great to work with, will be going back if I need any more repairs.

Fantastic help! She showed me the features of the luggage, monogramed it, and helped me with other products. Very kind, too!

I stopped in with an idea of what I wanted, and ultimately it didn't exit in the bags made today, but they asked questions and showed me options for a full hour. They considered it a challenge that they wanted to conquer. Amazing! In the end, I came up with, thanks to their suggestions, Plan B! Plan A involved a $500+ purchase and Plan B a $40 purchase, but it was because of their customer service that I saved $400+, and it was absolutely obvious to me that finding what worked for me was more important to them than the amount of the sale.

I needed a new zipper for my leather jacket. They promptly replaced the zipper at a very reasonable price. It's as good as new now.

I had bought an expensive purse discounted due to it having a broken zipper. I looked around to see if there was anyone to fix it for me and found Traveling Bags. They were friendly and did an excellent job at a great price. I will definitely use them again!

Had a Duluth Trading jacket with a zipper that went south. I found these guys and I am really pleased with the results. Price was fair, work was done as expected and in a reasonable time frame, they kept me updated of the progress and were always pleasant. Good company to deal with and would recommend them.

First time I’ve ever been here for a repair and I won’t be going any place else from now on. I took a very expensive specialty pool case with a broken zipper in there, and they not only took care of that problem, but made the rest of my zippers on my pool case work like they were brand new. The service was remarkable. Customer service was even better, and they got my case back to me lickety-split! I would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a repair or any sort of new luggage. Thanks again for taking care of me.

Finally found my go to luggage store! I needed a few repairs to suitcases I use on a regular basis but dreaded having them sent somewhere for repairs. My luggage was repaired on site within two weeks. The store also has a great selection of travel bags for sale. Please support this local business.

I was looking for someone that could replace a zipper in a jacket and a purse. The jacket seemed to be No problem, however, I could not find anyone that could replace the zipper in my purse. Luckily, the last company I called referred me to Traveling Bags in New Berlin. Yep, they could do both zippers!!! I was so happy!! Bonus, they were only a couple minutes from my house. End result-PERFECTION!!!!Next, we had a tarp that had some seams that let loose. I brought it to Traveling Bags and Burt said they could repair the seams!!!I cannot say enough about the friendly service, timely repairs and cost of repairs!!!!If you need something repaired, do not call anyone else! Burt and his employees will NOT disappoint!!!

Traveling Bags repaired my favorite large compartmented duffle bag. One of the wheels broke. The new wheels are perfect. The only small glitch was a delay in delivery of the wheels. The bag was not ready until after my last trip began.

Smooth transaction, timely delivery, product exactly as described, personal note on packing slip, good old fashioned customer service, five stars all around. Thank you!

Have a piece of luggage that I used once. When I returned home I noticed a large section where the thread was no longer there. Took it to Traveling bags for repair. Beautiful job repairing it. Can not even tell that it was repaired. Staff very friendly and accommodating. I have used the piece again and it held up well. Thank you for your help.

Traveling Bags Luggage & Repair offered me great customer service. A few years back I purchased a set of Briggs and Riley Luggage. The wheels went and in the same day my wheels were replaced by TBLnR. At that same visit I took an old Ebag that needed minor repairs. They no longer make wheels for this specific bag, they were able to find a different type of replacement wheels that are perfect. All of the repairs took just a few days.I am so pleased to have found a reliable Luggage repair place, due to the fact that I am a Flight Attendant and tend to put my luggage through the wringer. Thank you...TBL n R. I 100% recommend them for all travel Luggage and repairs.Regards,One Happy Flight Attendant!

Some trades and crafts are disappearing. One of them is repairs to luggage and briefcases. But you have a Wisconsin option -and it's a great one. If you have a suitcase, briefcase or purse that needs repair, bring it to Traveling Bags and they will do wonders for you. I have never worked with more professional or more pleasant folks in my life.

This place is amazing! My backpack has 400 miles on the Appalachian Trail and needed some repairs and a modification adding a mesh pocket on the front. None of this is easy, but at a reasonable time and cost, Traveling Bags worked their magic. Now, I am good to go for an entire AT through-hike.

Traveling Bags was the best! I had worn out wheels in my favorite travel bag and they fixed it like new. They even repaired the zipper “handles” and all of it was at a fair price. I will use them again, even though I live 1,000 miles away. I will send it to them for other luggage repairs.

Rapid, excellent communication (July ‘22)I am out of the area, but they took my bag via shipping and sent it back quick. I thought the broken zipper doomed the bag but they had ideas to repair it I hadn’t considered. I would use them again and highly recommend them!! Nicky

Traveling Bags recently replaced a zipper in my daughter's treasured backpack... I think it was well worth the cost! Solid work! They were very responsive with all my questions, gave me a realistic repair time frame, and also gave me a couple different repair options. I'm very pleased and will definitely consider them for future repairs.

Stephanie Zito

23:06 14 Jul 22

I really can't say enough of how great this service was! From drop off to pickup the whole experience was smooth. I got a handle replaced on a large suitcase bag. The cost was reasonable, and the turnaround was just as they estimated. I appreciated the updates via email and text, too! Thank you for providing a unique and hard to find service!!

The replaced buckel latch on my briefcase was a great aesthetic approach to the problem. The workmanship was beautiful and it functions with ease and holds the closure as needed.

I have a favorite suitcase that has been all over the world, it is quite old, 20+ years. TB had previously replaced a wheel on it, when the other wheel broke and the zipper, I thought about replacing. TB repaired the wheel and the zipper, at a great price, and my bag is as good as new. It just went to Alaska and performed flawlessly.

Purchased my wife’s birthday gift here. Travel pro light blue checked bag and she loves it! The owners were nice enough to let me walk out with one of their bows!

Jim Hoffman

Have not visited their new location yet. But have used them a few times in the past for repairs to a couple of older TravelPro bags with broken wheel housings. They located hard-to-find parts and were quick to fix my bags. They also did some leather repairs to my wife's handbag. Looks good as new.Edited to add...The new location is great. A full service travel agency plus luggage sales and repair. I bought a TravelPro backpack that was priced fairly and in stock. I'll be a regular customer in the future.

SO WORTH IT TO GO THERE. Skip Kohl's and Costco, this is the place to be! Absolutely WONDERFUL place to get all things baggage and travel. The staff were extremely attentive and friendly, and the owner was nothing but helpful and knowledgeable. Didn't push overly expensive bags, and pointed out lots of features I wasn't aware of about luggage and travel.Thank you guys so much for all of your help and knowledge!

I have had two bags repaired by Burt and his team. Both were done quickly and I am extremely pleased. The cost for my carry on repair was less than expected also sooner that I thought it would be. I strongly recommend this company.

I recently called this establishment about fixing a zipper on my Baggalini. The person I spoke to was very friendly and helpful so I decided to bring it in. He fixed it right in front of me. I was so impressed with the service here. They have a wonderful selection of travel accessories and suitcase cases. I said I felt like I was in a candy store because of my love for travel and all the things here that help to make it easier. I was impressed with his knowledge of travel bags and their prices were excellent. Will recommend to others I know.

Sarah Willis

Have used Traveling Bags a number of times for luggage repair. Our set (Travelpro) is more than 20 years old, but Traveling Bags always seems to be able to find the parts and fix it like it was new. Highly recommended!

Cody Christenson

One stop shop for luggage needs. Owner was incredibly knowledgeable and unlike other places did not push the most expensive bag. Instead he showed me my options side by side going through the features as well as the pros and cons of each as well as the warranties offered by each company. Big fan of the experience, luggage options, and my purchase.

I have taken two bags to be repaired. A Tory Burch handbag that had come loose at the seams around the handle and an LV vintage clutch. The LV clutch needed the strap repaired and touch up around edges. I contacted LV directly and they said they were unable to repair it.Travel Bags Luggage & Repair did a fabulous job repairing both bags back to their original condition. I highly recommend them and their rates are very reasonable.

Searched high and low for wheels for my Travel Pro Crew Series carry on suitcase. Even the manufacturer could not match my wheels. They claimed they could only do it if it had a "number" with the type of bag. It absolutely DOESN'T. The "Crew Series Plus" was evidently made at a time when they didn't use numbers. I thought it would be a simple matter to give the dimensions of my suitcase wheels to them and match a wheel up...NOT..at least not for the manufacturer but Burt matched it to the mm in a matter of hours!! They saved me from having to trash(or carry) my beloved suitcase. Love you guys!!

Lisa Kowalski

The best luggage place for new or repairs!

Mary Lynn Zahn

20:06 28 Jan 22

I am SO happy, I took my favorite purse in, hoping they could repair or replace the handles. Their "leather guy" checked it out and an estimate was emailed to me. Once I approved the estimate, my purse handles were repaired. The owners of the shop are super helpful and personable and the transaction very professional. My beautiful leather purse handles look as good as new and are probably even sturdier than new!I happily recommend them for luggage and purse repairs and they have an extensive selection of luggage and travel items.

This review is actually from my wife Kathie.It has been months and I am still in awe of the incredible service Burt provided when there was a mix-up in the delivery of my Travel Pro bag. Because I was out of town by the time we realized there was an issue, Burt was willing to drive the 25 miles to my house to intercept delivery and hold my bag at the store until I returned. He even offered to ship the new bag to me (in California) once it was delivered! Thankfully none of that occurred and everything worked out. But I will never forget Burt’s incredible customer service that was offered so calmly and pleasantly. I could feel my blood pressure go down just hearing his voice! Thank you so so much Burt.

Suzanne Matenaer

20:52 26 Jan 22

They did an amazing job of replacing the lining in my beautiful leather purse. Price was reasonable and work was perfection!

Burt absolutely gets a 5-star rating. He has gone above and beyond throughout the years in helping me choose just the right pieces of Briggs and Riley luggage for my travels. My last purchase with Burt was the Briggs and Riley backpack. He was so helpful and accommodating in getting it for me at his store so I could see it first before I purchased it. I love it! It's perfect for travel. So happy to have his store to be able to see the products firsthand. If at any time you are planning on purchasing a piece or pieces of luggage, I highly recommend Burts Traveling Bags. He's great to work with.

Allison Newman

14:38 17 Jan 22

A new owner took over and was able to find my lost suitcase in the shuffle, fix it, and send it back to me so I didn't have to come pick it up! He even gave me recommendations for additional products for the future that are better quality and easier to fix. I've never had better customer service!January 2022 – Update: still the same amazing service just in a new location. Brought in a suitcase that needed new wheels. Even though the style is no longer in production they were able to offer a substitute that has worked perfectly and for a reasonable price! I live in Madison and will continue to travel far to get to this location... the customer service is worth it! They even helped me arrange to pay online since I was out of town. I will always come back.

Tori Schultz

15:40 16 Jan 22

My sister turned me onto this place when I needed my luggage repaired. They did a great job of repairing that but the more pleasant surprise was the store and the owners! The store has sooooooo many necessities and gadgets for the traveler......I spent more money that first day than my airfare for my trip! LOL The owners are so sweet and helpful and we had some great conversations. Great people, great store, great experience!!

Great store for one stop shopping for travel. I had a tote bag fixed with new straps that turned out wonderfully. Burt was helpful and it was finished in just a week or so. Great luggage and traveling supplies. And you can book a vacation with Holly or get information for your next get-away. Great store!!

Lorie Armstrong

04:15 14 Jan 22

I love this store! Very friendly and helpful staff! I was searching for a Travelpro bag and they had a great selection. They were very patient with me as I compared all of the options. They also do repairs if they are ever needed so that's a plus. I'd highly recommend going to their store if you need new luggage!

Mark Allan Levy

01:43 14 Jan 22

Loved this store in the old location with the previous ownership and still love it now. It hasn't missed a beat! Plus it is closer to home for us. Repairs are done quickly and expertly. We have some fantastic luggage from Traveling Bags and will continue to be customers.

Unbelievable customer service! Dealt with Burt for a repair of two pieces of Travel Pro luggage, and it went perfect! We were in between trips, so his repair window was small, but he got it done for us. I would highly recommend Traveling Bags to anyone.

Richard Thierfelder

23:08 20 Dec 21

Very grateful that there is someone in MKE area that still repairs luggage. My suitcase, which was only a year old, had a wheel that was totally destroyed by the airline. Repair was completed in a timely manner and the suitcase looks like new, again. Very pleased and would recommend!

We just bought two sets of luggage from this store. Burt was extremely knowledgeable and helped us pick out just the right bags. He took the time to explain each of the bags pros and cons, he was patient with all of our questions, he gave us a GREAT deal, and we even got to hear a really cool alligator story. This store is second to none. It is a must if you are in the market for any type of bag. they know their stuff! So impressive!! Wow. just WOW.

Nancy Sorensen
