I sent a bag to spa 3 weeks ago but still haven't gotten the quote yet... Last time it took them one week to call me . How long did it take with yours ??
Around a week for them to provide a quote.

I had some pretty bad color transfer on my Lindy from my jeans so I took in to the spa. The whole process took around 8 weeks. The artisan managed to get most of the color out apart from one spot where the stain was especially bad - but overall, I'm satisfied with the results.
I never really took before/ after pix, but I have to say over the years I’ve taken my fair share of bags to spa. One thing really surprised me is how well toile spa’d! People in the know probably can DIY but I was too afraid to. My old gal had jeans color transfer like there was no tmr, but it came back brilliantly, to my utter surprise! The most “useless” leather to be spa, to me, was fjord and Ardennes, because they are so hard wear. I sent them to really fix a couple of corners, but the rest of the bag looked good to begin with. Surely they came back look like new (once again, they were almost perfect to begin with)! And box too! Sent a BBK back in the days to fix corners and it came back like brand new.
The other thing really surprised me, without being a leather expert, is how the reins REALLY refurbish well, and they last quite awhile. If a bag is used on a daily basis, def after a year or two it needs to be spa’d. I don’t quite know what the process is to “reglaze” (if that’s even how it’s called) the reins, but to me, the details like that is what makes the bag looks new or worn.
Great thread!!! Hope to see some amazing pix.

I made a deep scratch on my Ardennes leather bolide during overseas travel, I took it to H spa and after waiting for 2 months, when I took it back I could hardly find the scratch. They also made a general cleaning so the bag came home clean and fresh. I was very happy.

Wow this is amazing! What type of leather is this?
Thank you so much for sharing.
I took my vintage croc sometime in Feb'19 and completely forgot about it - and lost the receipt too *oops*.
I contacted the store recently and they told me they sent me quotes and I never replied; I never got their emails.
Long story short, I approved the quote last week and I haven't heard back from them regarding a timeline..
Thanks you all.. I should probably call them on Monday as I chose to be informed by email only.... Could be the same case like The.M !Around a week for them to provide a quote.
I read somewhere that Hermes can do repairs. Does it matter that the bag was a gift and therefore it won't have a record of the bag purchase on their system?
Hi there, I'm a newbie to Hermes and somehow scuffed the edge of my Evie (clemence leather) . Help!!!
Is it possible to be repaired at all?!! I'm in Melbourne, Australia.

THANK YOU!
Hi everyone,
has anyone experience with color loss on other areas than bottom corners? I am looking into a vintage box bag that has vertical color loss on the sides and potentially some on the body due to deeper scratches. Would Hermes recolor those areas as well?
TIA
That corner will never be the same, but it can be smoothed and polished over. Depending on how much you use the bag, the repair could last a while.Just after anyone's experience - do you think the below photo (vintage Kelly with courchevel leather) could be restored/fixed?
