You can have your hardware replace!! I got my M/L flap all hardware replaced for only $125! Hope this helps!

Where did you get it replaced? Thanks!

*Edit: Just saw your older post saying you took to the boutique. My bag is from 2014 and I don't have a receipt...I wonder if they would still repair it. We'll see when stores open back up!
 
Hi. I also posted this under Leather Surgeons, but I would like to have an opinion on whether something other than Leather Enrich would improve this small Chanel bag. I can’t remember which version it is. I always thought it was a “chocolate bar”. It is lighter than the pics show, but for some reason doesn’t photograph very well. Thanks everyone.355B1CEE-DD0F-4998-8D0E-095AB979F672.jpegF9B0A83C-78FA-4A53-A199-1CE96596E4FD.jpeg8A1DE725-33DA-49B7-8503-4BF0C41702C7.jpegCC35C5DD-9538-4C16-BDBA-EA6EB2016CAD.jpeg
 
Hi ladies,

This is my first chanel slg purchase and I did something stupid to it lol...

Item is GHW zipped coin purse. Upon first couple times of using it I realized the glazing for the zipper leather tap was done poorly (don’t have the photo unfortunately). So I then did something stupid - I cut it out!!!! and thought about putting a key ring on it instead of keeping the leather tap...

AND NOW I REGRETTED SO MUCH omg please don’t judge me I know it’s stupid

My question is - could Chanel repair service put a new leather tap on the zipper? I’m willing to pay as it is totally my own doing...

bought it in mid March and I have the authenticity card and receipt...


Thanks ❤️

I can't speak to whether Chanel can do it, but LeatherPros replaced a missing leather tab on my black classic flap, and it looks perfect. I recommend them for everything! They are fast, trustworthy, and do amazing work.

Hey everyone, I'm kinda new here so I'm sorry if I'm doing anything wrong asking this but I had a question about a Chanel bag. I'm interested in purchasing it but I do have some concerns. It is a suede bag and it was made in the early 1990's so I guess you could call it vintage. I noticed what looks like stains on the flap and back of the bag. I wasn't sure if this would be possible to remove at home with a cloth or however else. Do you guys think I could take this somewhere to be repaired or refurbished (obviously not Chanel since too old)? I would love to fix this bag and make it beautiful again. It doesn't need to be perfect but just improved. Does anyone have experience with refurbishing vintage bags? Any recommendations? Here are some pics-

OMG I have the exact same wallet but I bought it 2 months earlier than you. Yes go to Chanel and get it replaced. But I don't think you should have to pay for it, I wouldn't. If i were you, I would just tell them the leather tab came off while you were out shopping, hence you lost it. Pretty shoddy, it shouldn't come out.
 
Hi I’m trying to get my turnlock replaced because the brushed aged gold hardware on the turnlock is faded more than normal aged hardware. I sent an SA an email of my turn lock and she asked if I could provide her the name of buyer and location of purchase. But I purchased this bag preloved. Does Chanel really require proof of purchase to repair?
