But before dashing out to send your luggage at the local luggage repair center, check its warranty sticker first. If the warranty still sticks, then it's your lucky day. You just have to bring the luggage to the shop where you bought it from and they should be able to take care of it for you. Or they would refer you to an accredited service center that will fix your luggage, free of charge. It can even be sent to your home after repairs.

Some luggage manufacturers also keep an entirely different shop that handles only the repairs of the bags and luggage they make. You can bring your bag to them and have it fixed. These shops usually accept only their own brand, regardless if it's still under warranty or not. The luggage that doesn't fall into the warranty period has to be paid for. So you have two choices here. You can have a local shop repair your luggage or you can take it back to its manufacturer to have it fixed. It's your choice but you are better off bringing your luggage to the original maker. This way, you are sure that only the original materials are used to repair it.
