suitcase handle?

[manjety.livejournal.com]

Hey Davis!

I have a carry-on suitcase, but recently got the handle broken... in this matter I have two questions:

1. If you have an old or even broken suitcase, don't rush thowing it away. Please let me know - maybe handle from your suitcase would fit and replace mine?
2. Do you know of any place where I can buy a suitcase handle? some "luggage repair store"... Cannot find anything like this online :(


thanks in advance!

Isn't there a shoe and luggage repair place in the Galleria? I remember passing by it going into the mall from the parking garage...

Rockler sells them. Not sure if what they sell will fit your particular suit case. They're on the corner of Mass Ave and Ringe, right outside of Davis and near Porter, too. www.rockler.com. It's a woodworking store.

Thanks! I'll check it :)

I realize (by going to your profile) that you're Russian. I'm Russian, too. I'm starting to forget the language. How's your Russian? Want to meet up and practice sometime?

My Russian is much better than my English :) I'm merried to a Russian guy and mostly our friends are Russians, so we speak Russian all the time. It's just happens this way... even though we both work and surrounded by Americans...
I think (now I know for sure!) knowing several languages is so great! it opens so many possibilities - when you travel, when you can read originals, etc.

In re of meeting - I'd love to!
I'll leave my email in another comment - will delete it right away. Let me know where would you want to go and when.

What company made your suitcase? You might ask them if they could send you a replacement handle. I just got Eagle Creek to send me a replacement buckle for a backpack that's probably 7 years old; I was surprised at how easy it was.

"BeBoss" - have you heard of it?

Mine is some sort of "suitcase with a lable attached" - cannot find it on internet...

I'll try to measure the handle and request/buy similar from some store.
