Hi! Does anyone know if they can fluff up the quilting on a Chanel bag? I want to buy a vintage Chanel flap bag, but the quilt is completely flatteneed on it. Can this be repaired or has it forever lost it's "oomph"?

Hi I have a vintage Chanel bag, bought off ebay, and it has faded on the edges, as well as having quite a few scratches on the inside flap. I was wondering what kind of service I would need to get rid of the scratches?
Also does anyone know if I can get the same services in England? Because I live near London so there are lots of Chanel shops i could go to but everyone on this forum seems to be referring to shops in the US?

There is this great company in Las vegas, I do not recall the name, I sent one of my bags to get it done and I got in in 3 weeks!!!! the purse looks brand spanking new, not hard at all. They only charged me $210 for a total face lift on my flap. I am super happy with them. I made a google search on purse restration and I found them. Chanel Las Vegas sends their chanel stuff there for repairs, so I was very pleased that it was a legit company. If I remember the name I will post it.
I got this stunning bag from a tPFer http://cgi.ebay.com.hk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280401713004&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT. The worn of the corners and edges of the bag were actually worse than that you can see in the photos. But the bag was still stunning so I had no complaint. Our local boutiques do not do refurbishment but recommended a couple of local leather refurbishers. I sent the bag to one of them. 6 days later, the bag just returned perfect! Awesome!
that looks very impressive! I have a pink one quite worn at the edges - an ebay purchase. do you think that can be fixed?
. That is for the U.S. though, I'm not sure about outside the states.This exact same thing happened to me a couple of days ago and I am distraught! However, my (classic flap) bag is vintage (but in otherwise good condition). I am planning to take it into a chanel boutique to see whether they will replace the hardware, but I was just wondering whether anyone has any suggestions in case they refuse? I might try to re-sell it, but I'm not sure whether anyone would want to buy a chanel bag without the twist lock?!
@ OnlyConnect: They will definitely replace it. The price is usually $30 dollars unless it is vintage and something more has to be done. If it's under a year it's for free!
@ 1gnatius: The refinish price is $108 and will make your bag look brand new. I have heard good things about LMB but I personally am afraid to go to somewhere other than Chanel, because Chanel won't touch anything once it has been repaired elsewhere and I want the authentic parts. I'm very OCD with my expensive purchases!
