Hi,
First pre♥️ Chanel bag from
Fashionphile
Just wondering if anyone has ever had a ruthenium turnlock repaired. If yes, where and cost? (It would be awesome if someone could direct me to a right forum.)
also, can anyone please recommend me reputable authentication websites? Thanks!

Congrats on your purchase. I have not repaired a turnlock but i would recommend Leather Surgeons, you can inquire them on their website to see if they offer that service. I have most of my preloved Chanel bags received spa service from them with good reviews. For authentication, I usually use Zeko, she is very knowledgeable and personable. Hope it helps!
Couldn‘t resist to this chocker (that I‘m also using as a bracelet)❤
Congrats! I bought a preloved reissue last year and had all the hardware replaced by Chanel here in London. Mine is ghw and over 10 years old so the gold was close to silver in some areas. It cost £350 and was done in about 3 weeks. Ive Had 3 repairs done by Chanel and wouldn’t take my pieces to anywhere else, but I’m not sure what the situation is outside of the UK. Can you take it to a store?
So happy that my 22S caramel medium CF has arrived. The color is so beautiful on the lambskin. Hoping others that are waiting on their reserves get theirs soon. It is definitely worth the wait! 
I know! It is so hard to choose. Your bag is gorgeous! I love that shade of blue. It evokes happiness when I see it
Hello again! Yes I agree, i love the unique hardware!! I just have one more question, could you kindly share what the two serial numbers start with for this piece? Is it 29...?
And thank you so much for getting back to me!
Sure, this is 29XXXXXX series.
I have the large with GHW and it’s simply the best! I use it as a diaper bag and love it soo soo much! The newer ones are too loud for me. Chanel should really keep this around.Just got myself the deauville small in caviar version, with ruthenium hardware! This is from either 20C or 20P collection.
Bought it from a personal seller who has bought it early 2020 and kept it unused. It is very beautiful and subtle as I intend to use this to bring to work. But lil did I expect the weight to be much heavier as compared to the canvas version and LV emp onthego version. It is still a beauty and very sturdy as compared to the canvas /denim version. Pity that Chanel is no longer producing this and I think there is the leather version from 22S but the wording is too colorful and I yet to see it arrive in our boutique yet.
Thank you for letting me sharing my joy here.

I was ecstatic to get a light pink medium classic flap over the weekend but to my disappointment, I noticed that there are some tarnishes on the 4 grommets under the flap. Just wondering if anyone has encounter such issue before? And do you think this is acceptable? Not sure if this warrant as a flaw / defect but I love the bag so so much! What should I do?

That shouldn't happen on a brand new bag. I have several flap bags that are at least 5-7 years old, none of them have any signs of tarnish on the hardware. Have you tried gently wiping it off with jewelry cloth, or even the cleaning cloth that comes with the classic flap bag? That should take care of minor tarnishing.
Thanks for your opinion. Yes, I did use the cleaning cloth that comes with it. These pics were taken after I clean it. Before that, it was worse - there were more black stains. It looks much better after cleaning, but the stains cannot be completely removed. Here’s how the cloth looks like after cleaning.
