The metallic reissue color faded .. any hope?

nutnutnut · Apr 21st, 2008, 06:56 AM

I have got the silver metallic reissue from eBay, it have got the color faded on the rim and corner.
I wonder if the Chanel restoration would help for this problem?

Anybody had the faded color before? How are you doing with it?
With Thankss!

Gosh....which season's reissue is this? Mine is still fine, so not much help there; perhaps Chanel boutique can recoat it?

fannaticsydney · Apr 21st, 2008, 07:38 AM

ha? well, its really depends how the user used it

i bought mine in around august 2007, then keep using it as daily bag for almost 3-4 months, by end year i noticed there is blackish discoloured around the corner, i kinda like it at the end actually ..

Eeks this is what I'm afraid of.. that is why I never buy metallic bags. I think the best way is to bring it to a Chanel boutique near you and ask them if it can be fixed. Good luck!

can you pls post a picture? and yes, definitely bring it to chanel. see if there's anything they can do about it. hope everything will work out for you and your purse

I love metallics but I am scared to get it because of this!!!
I had a chloe silver metallic bag and after wearing it for 5 or 6 times the metallic started rubbing off :(

Does chanel offer to fix this?

i used to own one metallic reissue before and i heard from my SA that it will eventually faded due to the special treated leather.

Well, i guess u probably has to bring back to chanel store and see what they can do for this.

I think it would be useful if someone could post pictures of what they meant by colour fading or their metallic bags turning black, the colour peeling off etc etc.

I have three metallic bags and after reading all the comments on this thread (and the other one), I checked out my bags but I didn't find anything odd about them. I have used all of my metallcis so they're not like brand new. I have to say when I wear my metallics, I actually hand carry it by its chaim and lift the bag slightly away from my body as I don't want it to rub against my clothes. The colours still look good, I think. But who knows? Maybe my bags have already lost their metallic feels and I didn't know that....

^ You can actually search on eBay. I've seen used metallic bags (for example the recent one I saw was the used silver metallic luxe bowler by personalshoppers) which are in pretty used and worn condition. The metallic fades off. I think it is pretty much inevitable due to wear and tear.

Here's another one -- gold metallic luxe tote bag (metallic fading condition more obvious than the silver luxe bowler's)

I almost bought a red metallic but SA was hard to deal with so decided to cancel my order. Thank goodness or else its a waist of money if after few wears, it would just fade. Thanks for letting us know.

all metallic-treated leather is prone to the color rubbing off, regardless of it is chanel or not... unfortunately there is nothing much that can be done except to be super-careful not to let edges rub up against anything.
