[rgirl]

sorry to hear about the bag. before i do anything, i would take it to chanel first and see what they could do for you.

Does anyone know the name of the bag??

It's the timeless CC "tote?" from cruise 6/07, came in black, white and navy lambskin and patent then s/s 07 in beige, red. Comes in a few sizes. I have it in black patent-small version, use it for nights out and love it.

Good idea!

Maybe get it clean by a professional handbag cleaner maybe by "loving my bag". Or even try a patent shoe cleaner i saw in a shoe shop the other day, note i haven't done it myself.
I've only used fabric shoe cleaner for my jersey flap...it worked well.

Holy %$*@, you got an AWESOME deal hope that Chanel can clean it.

Hmmm... Perhaps it would be a lot easier if they could redye it BLACK instead of white, since the stains are black. ???

I saw this bag on ebay too but passed because everything I've been told about patent told me it can't be fixed. I was told you can't get color transfer out of a patent bag once it has penetrated the surface and that it can't be dyed because it's what's under the surface that needs to be dyed. With that said, hopefully it hasn't fully penetrated the surface and my other info was wrong. It would seem that you would be able to dye it somehow since it obviously picks up color. I'm not sure how the whole migrant color thing works with patent (and that's the reason I'll never buy light colored patent) but if all else fails I would imagine you could wrap it in something highly prone to color transfer and really make it tie-dyed looking instead of randomly splotchy. I really hope it all works out for you, it's a very pretty bag.

Try Lovinmybags.com, I think they restore Patent Chanel leather.. as noted on her purseblog.

i could see that it's a permanent stain and not sure if it can be removed if u send it to chanel store or professionals to service this.

If e stain has already absorb/settled in the leather, then i'm not sure if they could do this.

Since the seller has mentioned in her auction listin abt the stain, then if u have any concern, u shldn't have bid it in the 1st place.

Hmmm ... risky bid, but you might get a really big reward here.

I refuse to think there isn't something someone can do to help that bag out.

 

[legaldiva]

That said, this is exactly why I'm sticking with caviar leather from here on out ...

 

[addisonshopper]

I don't think you are going to get those stains out this bag...

Even with the stains.. it's still a stunning bag. I'd throw on a blue bandeau on one of the straps of the bag so make it more blue themed and just rock it.
