My dog chewed up my backpack yesterday. Is it possible to repair this dam
age?
Surely you can’t be serious about repairing it?

I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley.

Those red stitches on the repairs look terrible!

This is great, thanks!
To what purpose? Are you sure it’s worth repairing?
It might be fixable, but it might not look great. You could use permanent fabric tape and waterproofing spray for a DIY fix. If you’re good with sewing, maybe you could replace the damaged piece. Just consider if the effort and time are worth more than buying a new one.
If it’s a Patagonia pack, they might repair it for free or give you a store credit. Check their warranty policy on their website.

You can drop it off at a Patagonia store to save on shipping costs. They even have a traveling repair program, which is fantastic.

I live in Reno near their outlet and repair center. The in-store repair service is amazing.
You could always try duct tape. It fixes almost everything!
It’s always worth getting a repair estimate. Some places specialize in backpack and luggage repairs. It might cost more than the backpack’s value, but it’s worth checking out.
Just put some duct tape on it. It’ll hold together.

And once you’ve taped it, you can say ‘that’s not going anywhere’ for a good makeshift fix.
A bit of duct tape and it’ll be as good as new. Did a bear attack it or something?
Here’s a creative idea: cut the damaged part off, find a new backpack, cut its corresponding part, and stitch them together. You could end up with a unique, functional piece.
Take it to a Patagonia store and they might replace it for you.
Repairing it might cost you almost as much as a new backpack.
It might be easier to just remove the damaged panel.
