I accidentally spilled acetone and nail polish on my bag so now my bag has white marks and green nail polish..:sad: I was so bummed and just noticed it when I left Sephora.. If you have a similar situation like mine, did yo guys try the repair of Lovin my bag?? I am thinking of sending my bag to Barbara but she said this won't be an easy repair and all she can do is camouflage the white marks so it won't look noticeable..

Do you guys have any other way of restoring this bag??:sad: do you think Prada can repair this?

I would probably take it back to Prada and ask what your options were (whether they can remove the polish, replace the side panels, etc). With the acetone though, it's probably eaten away at the dye or protective layer, so it may need to be re-dyed or replaced if you want it to look new again.

Hi everyone!!

I am so happy to announce that I got my bag back and repaired by Prada.. They quoted me $155 and would take 6-8 weeks but I ended up paying only $60 and it only took a month! I am so happy that my bag is back to how it looks like when I got it!:biggrin: and so worth the $60 repair fee!

And.. Lesson learned.. No more trying on nail polishes when I have my bag!:smile:

Yay a happy ending! :smile:

So did they manage to remove the nail polish, or did they have to replace the sides?

I don't exactly know what they did coz the manager looked unsure too.. Lol! I'm guessing they only re-dyed the bag coz probably it would cost more if they replaced the side.
