Help..I need some advice on how to repair this velvet boy that was redyed from pink to black.
The black leather strap is starting to fade off showing the pink underneath.
Do u think I can bring to Chanel to change the leather strap to a black one? Will they do refurbishment for a recoloured bag?

I just answered you on another thread that you posted. No they won't. You can take it to leather pros or leather surgeon

Hi, I am new here. I think I need some help (sadly)
I bought this medium classic flap in February from Saks. I didn't notice this big dent until I took it out of my closet yesterday...(the other parts were perfect so I was too excited to be careful enough) I think this dent is most likely caused by uneven stitches.
I went to the NY SOHO boutique today, and the manager said this is the nature of the leather and she doesn't think it's repairable... And the only option she offered was to send it back to see what they can do. It will take about 6 weeks and she said it is most likely that they can do nothing about it.
What do you guys think I should do I think point? Appreciate your help!

I was told by 2 bag owners Chanel needs to see the receipt with person name on it, when bags are sent in for repair (or spa, not so sure).
is this true? And why? This happens in Singapore.

(at least 5-6years ago, which was the last time I sent in a bag to replace with new cc clasp on my CF, I was never asked such).
 
Hi there. Please help!

I thirfted this bag a couple years ago and had it authenticated by The Hang bag clinic.
Turns out the bag is real, to my shock.

As you can see, it's in horrible condition. So I want to have it completely refurbished. I would like to recolor it to black as well.
Should I keep the original color or change it to black?

I still haven't decided if I will sell or keep it but I would like some advice in what would be better option.
Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance :)

Hi friends,

I recently purchased my first classic flap pre loved through Fashionphile. I wanted extra peace of mind so I got it authenticated by Zeko Authentication. It ended up being authentic but the bag is series 18 (2013/2014) but at some point it looks like someone got the CC turnlock replaced and it was replaced with an older 24k gold plated turnlock...so the turnlock doesn't "match" the age of the bag since Chanel stopped using the 24k gold plated turnlocks in 2009.

Leather Surgeons quoted me $155 plus shipping to replace it. If you were me would you get it replaced and if so, why?

THANK YOU for any thoughts.
