Thanks - Mark really did a great job restoring it!! It was $200 for the repair, which I think was very reasonable for the awesome work!
Yes that is very reasonable considering that he transformed your bag into a new state! I have a vintage Chanel shoulder bag that I want to lengthen the strap so I can use it cross body. I will email them and see if they can do the job. Thank you!!!
 
Question! Is there tax applied to repairs? They called today about my bag, said it would be $125, I gave them my card number and then saw I was charged a bit more. Not a big deal, I'm just trying to see whether I'm being charged for tax or shipping (which I told was complimentary). Thanks!! Can't wait to see how my GST looks with new straps
 
Hi there, Can anyone tell me if they have had a clasp/turn lock repaired? There is a vintage Chanel I have fallen in love with but the turn lock/snap isn't functioning anymore. I am located in Perth Australia so not sure on if I can just go into Chanel? Does anyone know how much it would it as well? Thanks so much!! lots of love xxx

Chanel used to replace turn locks, but it seems they aren't working anymore on older bags (>5 years).

Send photos to Leather Surgeons and Leather Pros. I'm certain one or both will be able to repair.
 
IMG_5823.JPG Is there anything Chanel would be able to do about this damage? Mind you I have worn it endlessly for about 8 years now. And yes that IS an actual thumb imprint from when my dad picked it up like that.. cringe! (anyone have experience with refurbushig a black cabiar jumbo single flap?):

I'm considering buying the original version of the boy bag but it has some damage. Anyone have experience with a leather repair shop that could fix something like this? Is it beyond repair? I'm hoping to get a good deal and as I don't really baby my bags I figure preowned would be better than buying new.

UPDATE:
I have since dropped it of at my local Chanel boutique for repair/refurbishing. She was back after only 3.5 weeks and they did an AMAZING job!!

I couldn't be any happier :amuse::angel::heart:
