Does anyone know around how much Leather Surgeons charges to replace/repair the leather in the chain???? Thanks
Hello, I can't speak to that specifically, but I would suggest you email them photos and they will give you an estimate via email. I had a full spa refurbishment done and it cost me $250. Very pleased with their work. Returned in three weeks. Hope that helps a little!
 
Has anyone sent bags to Chanel boutiques in Toronto or anywhere in Canadafor cleaning/refurbishing? I recently bought a lambskin vintage jumbo flap and would like to have it serviced/cleaned. I know there have been lots of threads about this but i can't find any that's in Torontoor Canada. Thanks in advance!
 
My first post here...I have a vintage Chanel lambskin mini flap bag. Its in perfect shape as far as hardwear and construction...but on the outside flap around the edges the leather is extremely worn...it looks like suede in those areas. I cant resell it looking like that and personally I want to keep it as its such a cute little thing and nice for when I just need the bare necessities with me. I bought it vintage and knew it had issues but I figured I could get the bag serviced.

I contacted Chanel...they said they dont fix the lambskin anymore. I then went to Nordstroms near me and they inquired with a "bag doctor" they use in NYC who they state worked for Chanel doing bags so really knew his stuff, took pics, specs and sent them and he said he couldnt repair it.

Is there no way to get the lambskin repaired? I really dont care if it decreases its value and I am not planning to sell it anyway.

Most likely from afar noone notices but it irks me just a bit.

Thanks!

Hello, I would try contacting leather surgeons. They're located in PA. Check out their website and you can send pictures via email and they will let you know what can be done and an estimate. Gerry's work is amazing and has been endorsed by Chanel flagship. Chanel used to send bags directly to them for repair. Chanel is no longer servicing bags over 5 years old. HTH.

Chanel wont accept your bag anymore. Same like mine.
