Talk about an amazing business. Found them because I needed a bag repaired. Which they did a great job on.Now for one of the best customer experiences I’ve ever had.Ended up looking at some other bags they had as a future purchase. Kristi was super helpful and kind explaining all the differences between brands etc. We decided on what we wanted and she had to order one. My one ask was if they could be in before we headed out on our latest trip. Due to an issue beyond their control the bags weren’t going to be in on time. Well all I can say is they went above and beyond offering us a solution. Would have never expected it. They truly made a customer for life and we will be sending anyone to them that needs new or repairs! Shopping local really pays off when your find a business that gets it!

The extendable handle on my husband's suitcase got broken by an airline. I took his suitcase to Traveling Bags Luggage & Repair to see if they could repair it. The part that was needed is no longer available, so the suitcase company replaced my husband's suitcase. Traveling Bags Luggage & Repair was a pleasure to work with. They kept me posted as to the status of the repair via text and email. We were so impressed with them that we have decided to purchase our suitcases from them the next time we need new suitcases. I highly recommend Traveling Bags Luggage & Repair.

Love this little gem of a store. Cool traveling gear for sale inside and a great way to repair damaged luggage rather than throw it away. Very friendly staff. Excellent repair. I highly recommend this store.

Burt was able to find replacement wheels for my treasured 40 year old vintage suitcase and make the repair in a few days. Can’t thank him enough!

Wow, just wow! I travelled a long way to have a zipper repaired on a favorite suitcase based solely on reviews. They fixed the zipper while I waited & I couldn’t be happier. Very reasonable and well worth the trip.(I was skeptical…I mean, who REALLY offers 5 star service? Guess what: they do!)Better yet, Latitude Travel is inside the store which is a powerful combination. These people know good luggage because they are well-travelled.Currently, they have a nice selection of travel gear and peripherals—under-your-clothes pouches for valuables, locks, mesh packing bags, etc.Can’t wait to visit their upcoming new & bigger location. I hear there will be even more travel-related products, purses, packs, and more.

I was so happy to find that a luggage repair company still exists in Wisconsin. Burt and his team were amazing! They promptly assessed the problem with our carry-on piece and contacted the manufacturer. The resolution was beyond our expectations. We couldn't be more pleased and have already referred a friend. Plus, our son will probably be back to shop in-store when he heads out on international trips. The selection of bags and accessories is excellent, as are the prices. It's nice to actually see and hold the items in person for the same or less than ordering online. I would not hesitate to patronize their store again.

My husband found Traveling Bags on Google and it was the best find! We had a zipper pull replaced by Crystal. She was quick and efficient. It was even the same style of pull. Will recommend to our friends!

Took my 10 month old Travelpro suitcase in to be repaired, Burt informed me that he couldn't repair it due to the problem being a manufacturing issue; however, as an authorized Travelpro service center, he could take care of getting a new one sent to me. It was shipped directly to my home withing a week! I appreciated Burt's expertise and clear communication and follow through. I can't sing his praises enough and have already recommended him to two friends.

Had a samsonite spinner bag with a broken wheel and the closest "authorized" samsonite repair location was more than 50 miles away. Searched online and found traveling bags, which isn't listed as "authorized" by samsonite, but was about half the distance from our home. They provided a very reasonable quote for wheel(s) replacement. Took the spinner bag and a purse that needed a zipper repaired. They fixed both practically good as new. Highly recommend them.

I've been nothing but delighted over the years dealing with Traveling Bags. They know their stuff and continue to extend the life of my expensive luggage originally purchased in the mid-90's. The repairs are solid and done at a price that is of great value. We drive from Watertown for the great service.

This place did a terrific job repairing a zipper on my AllSaints purse. I was so sad when the zipper broke, as I love this purse, but thanks to Traveling Bags it's good as new! The price and turnaround time were both very reasonable. I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again.

I needed a suitcase zipper repaired. Found Traveling Bags from a Google Search and drove to their NewBerlin location. A quick inspection and a couple adjustments with her special pliers and the zipper worked again. All fixed within a couple minutes. Awesome service! I'll definitely recommend you to friends & family.

Tina B

They repaired the handle of a suitcase and it’s looks great. I’m very happy with the repair versus having to purchase a new piece. However if I were in the market for new luggage I will definitely visit their store with all the options they had available.

This place is amazing! My TravelPro bag broke on the flight into Milwaukee. I wouldn't have been able to fly home with it as it was without a lot of trouble, so I thought I'd have to go find a new suitcase somewhere. But I googled and found Traveling Bags and even though they were supposed to be closed, they answered, and were in the store and allowed me to stop by. Fixed my bag within 15 minutes for a great price! Friendly and so accommodating! Highly recommend!

Raymond Jaeger

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

Dana Carpenter

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.

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.

Kari Kline

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.

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.

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.

Rob Knight

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.

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.

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!!

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.

Jim Hoffman

1655352302

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 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.

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.
