FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions we hear most across the bench. If yours isn't here, WhatsApp us (+65 9100 2680) — a workshop lead replies within the same business day.

Repair services

What kinds of bags do you repair?

Every kind. Hardshell spinners, soft-shell carry-ons, duffels, backpacks, designer handbags, briefcases. We work on every major brand — Samsonite, Rimowa, Tumi, Briggs & Riley, Eminent, and most minor ones too. Fifty years at the bench means we've seen it before.

How long does a repair take?

Most jobs finish while you wait — wheel repairs in about 20 minutes, lock resets in 5, zipper repairs in 30. Handle and shell work runs 1–3 days. We tell you up front, before any tools come out.

How much does a repair cost?

Walk-in pricing: wheels from S$20, lock reset free, zippers from S$30, handles from S$45, shells from S$60, cleaning from S$35. The quote is always free and in-person. Don't like the price? Walk out with the same bag, no charge.

Do I need an appointment?

No. Walk in any day, Mon–Sat (closed Sunday) — no appointment. Bring the bag to any of our four workshops and we'll take it from there. Current hours for each workshop are on our Workshops page.

Do you only repair bags you sold?

No — we repair luggage and bags from most brands, regardless of where you bought them. You don't need a receipt or a warranty. If yours is unusual, send a photo on WhatsApp first and we'll tell you up front whether it's something we can take on.

Airline claims & vouchers

My airline gave me a repair claim — what now?

WhatsApp us the claim number plus a photo of the damage on +65 9100 2680. We're the appointed repair partner for Changi Airport and 40+ airlines, so we handle the airline side end to end. You drop the bag, we sort the paperwork.

Which airlines do you work with?

Singapore Airlines, Scoot, Cathay Pacific, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Jetstar, AirAsia, plus 35+ more across the region. If your airline isn't listed, send the claim number anyway — we likely still handle it.

How long do airline claim repairs take?

Most are completed while you wait or within 1–3 days. We confirm coverage with the airline usually within a business day so you're not chasing anyone.

Can I mail in a bag instead of walking in?

Yes. WhatsApp us first so we can give you the right address and confirm the repair before shipping. We'll quote, repair, and ship back. +65 9100 2680.

Lumière (our own line)

What is Lumière?

Our in-house luggage brand. Fifty years of repair work taught us where every bag fails — Lumière is everything we'd build differently. Reinforced caster mounts, telescopic handles that lock without rattle, zippers rated for 10,000 cycles.

Do Lumière bags come with a warranty?

Better than a warranty: free lifetime repair on every bag we make. Bring it in for as long as you own it. We'll fix it.

Where can I see one in person?

Walk in to any of our four workshops. We'll hand you a Lumière and a competitor case side-by-side and let you decide.

Getting in touch

What's the fastest way to reach you?

WhatsApp at +65 9100 2680. Send a photo of the damage — a workshop lead replies within the same business day. Or email hi@slashui.com for everything else.

Do you offer free in-person quotes?

Always. We diagnose in front of you, quote before any tools come out, and if you don't like the price, you walk out with the same bag — no charge.
