Chanel will not change the hardware to gold, I had my white medium vintage bag refurbished at a Chanel store in Beverly Hills (on Robertson blvd) they did a fantastic job, it only took 6 weeks to get it done and they did wonders with my purse. At first the dye on the lamb skin was a bit hard but after 5 months it feels so smooth and not hard at all, what I did is rubbed my clean fingers along the lamb skin and that smooths the leather, ( your fingers have natural oil so that helps a lot) I wish I could post pics dont know how if anybody can help me. My channel is super white inside and out the Made in France letters got a little over dyed but thats ok the purse looks great. I keep it inside a white pillow case to cover it . I also have a black small vintage channel purse which looks great never had to be redyed or clean I always store them with tissue paper inside to keep the shape of the bag puffy.

the charge was $265 but it was well worth it they do an amazing job, always take the bags to a Channel store for refurbishing because in case they loose it or any other thing happens to the bag then you can sure be compensated by them.

I just recently bought a bag on eBay for a pretty good deal. It was represented very well (the seller didn't try to hide these at all) and has a few scuffs on it, a pen mark, plus the inside has some marks. Anyways, I was thinking since I bought it at a pretty low price I would just spend some extra on getting it fixed up if possible but I would like to get it done by someone who really knows what they're doing obviously. I've heard about bag spas but I don't know too much about them. Any suggestions? Here's the link to see some of the damage:

Thanks ladies!

I don't know if they will change the style by switching all of the hardware, but Chanel has their own repair facility in the US so it may be different in Singapore.

For my experience, my cat chewed a hole on my chanel bag, so I sent it back to Chanel, and they suggest me to buy a new one. They can't fix the hole.I am sad:cry::cry::cry:

They probably COULD fix the hole, but may not if it wont meet Chanel standards after, or if you'd be better off using the money on another purchase. Worth a try, though! They can definitely fix the strap.

Hey everyone,

i am planning on buying a vintage chanel on malleries, the condition is fair and it seems as if it is in need for repair. here is the description

The leather has some indentations, scratches, chaffing and light soiling. The interior leather is lightly soiled and has ink marks. The golden hardware has light, superficial scratches however it is still bright, shiny and golden in color. The most significant flaw is that both interior pockets are unusable. The interior lining of both is stuck together, keeping the pockets closed.

the bag comes with no cards or such, do you think chanel can repair this? in addition can they repair soiling leather and the scratched hardware?
