After 2+ long months, I finally got the call that the bag was done and ready to be shipped back
I paid my invoice & waited patiently, but after more than a week, it still hadn’t arrived
I reached out to Barbara who said she noticed a few last minute issues that she wanted to fix
After another week, she finally arrived & it sure was worth the wait!!
My original request (& her quote) was for handle replacement & corner repairs.
She had said she would get new leather for the handles & use that same leather for the corners/edging
I knew she’d probably clean it up, moisturize it, but I figured there wouldn’t be much change in the color & I was OK with that. I was wrong! In addition to the handle & corner repairs, Barbara did a full color restoration
It honestly looks and feels like a brand new bag!
You probably notice that the rivets are different. While the originals weren’t damaged (as far as I could tell), I suppose once you remove them, they can no longer be re-used. At least we now know where to do if anyone ever needs a replacement of their rivets!
I’m so impressed with the work she did on this bag!!
