Messenger bag velcro

Hey LFGSS mind hive,

My Chrome messenger bag has finally given up the ghost when it comes to staying closed, with the velcro now having substancially less grip than a slow loris holding onto a mini umbrella. I wondered if anyone has had similar woes and can suggest some ways to improve the situ? I have checked both sides and it seems to be the "furry" part that's become abit lackluster, it's clean and doesn't look sad, the bag was bought second hand but it wasn't old, just a little surprised if I'm honest as everything and their mums stick to my Chrome hip pouch.

Is it fixable or might I have to go down the replacing the fluff route?

Cheers,
Amber

Try shaving it maybe? Might be enough dense fluff underneath the loose straggly stuff to let you secure the velcro.

I went at mine with a flea comb* and it helped, although it didn't restore it totally to its former merino-mangling glory.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
