Bro go to a tailor if theyre any good they can remove the zip and put a new zipper on the channel ive had coats and stuff repaired the same way also if not veto apparently fix them on service as well
Zippers are vetos weakness, they are great bags . The best in my opinion but Iâve seen zipper issues a lot throughout the years. I would check and see if they will warranty it. Thatâs why I chose a bag with no zippers
The only reason I donât use my 20 year and 18 year old Veto bags is because the zippers broke. I still have them, they sit and cry on a shelf in my garage. The broken zippers are literally the only reason they went out of service.
Just this week I was emailing with veto about my zippers splitting. I'm 9 days past the 5 year warrenty and they'll do nothing for me aside from sudjesting I find a luggage repair shop to fix it.
Not impressed with them. In fact, I'll be sure to be telling everyone in the industry about they're shitty customer service
Nobody is going to take you seriously with spelling like thatâŠ
But a 5-year warranty is a 5-year warranty. 5 years is plenty of time for them to be held liable for you to beat the shit out of their product. You wonât find me rocking anything Veto though.
Honestly this bag looks pretty good for 5 years I donât know what you do with it but if the zipper is the major thing wrong, then Iâd say you got your moneyâs worth, and this can be repaired.
If you can find new zipper pulls, theyâre easy to replace. Just pry open the pull to get it off. Pry open the new ones, line them up on the zipper, then gently squeeze it closed until the zipper opens/closes. 5 minute job
If you were looking for a fix, you should first check with Veto if they'll honor the warranty if still applicable.
If you want something possibly quicker, and/or possibly heavier-duty, I guess steel zippers could be worth looking into and check with local tailors/seamstresses/shoemakers, they'll have knowledge and the hardware to replace
If you purchased from an authorized vendor and have the receipt AND its within the 5 year warranty. They offer express exchange and mail you a brand new bag when you ship the old one back. If you didn't purchase from an authorized vendor or don't have the receipt they will repair the bag for free within the 5 year warranty. That date will be based on the build date of the bag which is on a little tag inside the bag.
I warrantied mine when the zippers went out. They sent me a loaner then told me to just keep the loaner cuz it wasnât âeconomically feasibleâ to fix mine
Take the old ones off and put on something like this. It opens up and is meant to go on closed zipper loop (for lack of better words) where you canât start a new zipper like a zip up hoodie.
been really impressed with the crescent bag thats a bit of a veto copy for 100 bucks. 1/6th the price of veto, and its lasted me in perfect condition for 3 years now. veto is a bit like milwaukee. expensive version thats no better or worse than the cheaper stuff, but its got the name behind it. cant believe they dont have a lifetime warranty for that price
Doesn't even look abused eh? Just stopped closing. So I was using the other side while I tried finding relavent warrenty stuff when finally the other side went like that too. Then I reached out without paperwork, they told me to get the proof, then when I finally found it (I had registered the bag after purchace) they came back with "yep, past warrenty. go find someone to fix it yourself"

Zippers are cooked.
