Wait, is this the leather pros in sun valley, Ca? Or is there another company in Burbank? I've been emailing Mark Balian. Is this the same person who repaired your bags?

Hi - yes, Mark Balian is the owner/craftsman. He's amazing and has a genuine love for Chanel.

Here's my lime green camera bag and its before and after. There were grease stains with cornstarch spots along with fading / wear on the piping.

Here's a beige flap that I had re-dyed. The dye job made the leather feel plastic-y, hence the sheen in the before photos, and crackly. Mark was able to remove the old dye and then re-dye the lambskin with the perfect Chanel color. Again, the lambskin is soft and pliable although as not as baby bottom soft as a new lambskin. I'm ok with that because my flap feels like leather again, not vinyl.

Mark said to loop the chains under the flaps and store them inside. This prevents any marks on the top of or inside the flaps. Seems obvious now .....
