What do you think//*Does this BALENCIAGA have any LiFE left? lol

A completely incredible price. ($400). Would be a steal for anyone that could touch it up. Hmmm...can I say, "side project?"

I do not think these kind of questions are allowed because whatever the responses are may effect the outcome of the auction so it is a no-no

Sorry, didn't think of it in that light. Edited original comment.

^^^That's cool, you didn't know, thanks for editing it

Hmmmmm. I would email/call Barbara at LMB. If she can't fix it no one can! However, it will cost a pretty penny to have the bag totally reconditioned and redyed, etc. It all really just depends on how good you want her to look in the end. I know, I am really no help

Also, the zipper tapes are a problem for redying. I think that the current conditions on eBay, you can snag a good deal for a bit more. An entire job at LMB might run you as much as $400 if you want to recondition and redye and all that jazz. IMO, not worth it.

You couldalways try to clean it yourself with leather cleaner and conditinoer. I'd do a little section at a time. Also, didn't someone here wash her bag in woolite? I would never have the guts to do that myself

, but if you can spare the 400 to buy it but can't spare an additional 400 to have it cleaned and repaired, you could try to clean it yourself. I guess it depends on how crafty you are and how much patience you have.

not worth it IMO. i bet repairing it will cost you just as much as a new bag would cost you.

also, it may never really look 'good' - so it could end up turning out to be a waste of $400+ that could have gone towards a new bag.
