Hi, does anyone know if creases in a classic Chanel caviar can be repaired or fixed? I put my bag in a dust bag and stored it and something fell on it. And now it's dented onwards and the base is not straight, the bag doesn't even stand straight anymore. Help please

Can anyone tell me what to try to remove a red stain on this bag I just purchased. I would prefer to try getting it off myself before approaching the professionals. Have no idea what the stain is and it is on the strap of the bag.

Photos would help and also do you know what caused the stain?

Just received the bag and quite honestly the stain is so tiny I may not even both with it. Looked really big in pictures but in person its negligible - might just try some non alcohol baby wipes. If anyone can think of anything else I'd love to know.

Hello everyone,

I just purchased this Chanel jumbo in the single flap version at a great price. I already have the same one in my collection, but I feel like I overpaid for it and it has creases as well, anyway. I am going to sell it and keep this one. I also like how the CC's on this one are thinner and are not gold plated (as crazy as that sounds.)

Anyway, does Chanel or any leather repair place like leather surgeons fix creases in caviar leather? Thank you!

Stuff it full or start using it might lessen the crease effect.

Could anyone have flaking issue on caviar leather?, and how to fix it or take care of it to prevent more in the future?. I got it on my corner flap less than 1 inch long. I bought the bag on 2011. Thanks in advance.

When I bought my preloved caviar flap, the bag was slightly out of shape. The previous owner overstuffed the bag so the base was bulging out. I put something flat and heavy on the bottom of the bag and stuffed the bag with tissues. I sat the bag upright on the shelf for about a week and the base flattened out.

Came across this post #674 in the below thread as I was research on similar topics. I believe tutushopper said it applies to caviar too. Also see second thread linked below.

Hope it helped. Keep us posted on whether you had any success in removing the crease.

[emoji33][emoji22][emoji25] Help me please!!! I was using an eraser to remove dark stains from the corners of my GST. I got a shock of my life when I saw the leather came off. Can Chanel help me with this? (I don't mind paying) What should I do? [emoji17][emoji17][emoji17][emoji17][emoji17][emoji17]

I'm so sorry that happened! I would definitely call a boutique and see if they can fix it for you. Good luck.

I'm not too sure there's anything that done to replace the scratched off leather. Maybe a little leather conditioner would help to smooth it out, something like Cadillac leather conditioner or Meltonian leather conditioner. So sorry this happened to you. Honestly it doesn't look too bad.
