Hi all I'm looking to buy a pre loved lady dior in patent, and while waiting for all tfs help me authenticate the bag. I saw the crack in the bag, and I would like to do if it's normal for patent? And if this bag happens to be authentic, can I refurbish the bag. Thank you View attachment 2762238
Cracking is normal for any patent leather, and cannot be repaired easily without leaving marks on the bag. Patent leather is not as pliable as lambskin or other soft leathers, and at high-stress points where it is bent or flexed to an extreme, it has a tendency to tear with use. Even the most expensive patent leathers are susceptible to this.
If this bothers you, then I suggest that you don't buy this bag.
I agree that this is common for patent leather. I've seen it happen with my patent leather bags before.
