So on Friday my bag (lambskin WOC) was stolen at a bar. I returned the next day after checking my bank account and seeing that no charges had been made to my card, hopeful that someone might have turned it in or it was still there somewhere. And shortly thereafter, someone came out of one of the bathroom stalls with my bag in hand.. found it because the toilet wasn't flushing. The person who took it that night grabbed the cash and put it in the toilet tank where it then sat overnight.
I took it to both Chanel and Leather Spa yesterday and both just kept telling me that they've never seen or heard of something like this before, and that it would need to completely dry out before they do anything. Leather Spa suggested a $200 deep cleaning which includes a steam clean and depositing color back into the bag. Chanel just said they'd send it to their workshop after it completely dries out and I bring it back.
Anyone have experience with something like this? Any advice?
