I have a East West bag where the corner is showing alot of wear and just about showing the piping underneath. Has anyone had anywhere like the handbag clinic (quoted £200!!) or mulberry repair something like this? How much did it cost? Thanks!

Hi Juicebox, I've had the piping replaced on a bayswater & an Alexa (Oct 2012 & Mar 2013) and it cost me £80 + VAT but I'd contact Customer Services to double check as the price may not be the same. Good luck

Forgot to add that I sent mine directly to Mulberry - I downloaded a repairs form from the website and sent this with my bag to their address in Shepton Mallet.

Thanks for replying, was that £80 each? Or altogether? I only spent £145 on the bag but I wasnt aware of the issue until I got it today. I'm just waiting for a reply but as I'm incredibly impatient I thought I'd ask here to get an idea :smile:

Yep it was £80 to replace the piping on each bag.
 
If your bag is under 2 years old its £25 and 2 years older or more £80 for piping, I recently sent my bag to shepton mallet for piping repair, it does however take a long time

Is there anyway to tell how old a bag is ? Like by the serial number? It was second hand to me so I couldn't tell.
