Just wanted a little sympathy I guess... I sent my circa 2006 Mademoiselle Camera Bag off for spa treatment at the beginning of July. Emilsen called me shortly thereafter and said I would get it back in 8 weeks. It is now about 6 weeks and haven't heard anything. Yet.
My baby went in for replacement of the lacing in her chains. That type of Mademoiselle camera bag had a kind of funky irridescent manmade lacing. The original lacing on mine went completely bad after a couple years. Dirty! Yucky! I was told that the only lacing that could be substituted was black leather (I know this is not original but secretly I am thinking - YEA! black leather lacing will look fantastic!).
I know my bag is old and rather decrepit but I love 'er. And I miss 'er. Thanks for listening.
