If you buy a bag that's preowned, will the Chanel boutique or a department store boutique fix it? I realize I would have to pay for the bag to be fixed but was wondering if it would even be accepted for repair since its preowned and I didn't purchase it from them.
 
If anyone knows this, it would really help me out. I'm trying to make a decision on purchasing a pre owned bag. Unfortunately, the bag is not a deal and if I can't get it cleaned up or fixed in the future, if necessary, then I'm going to skip this purchase.

As long as it is authentic, they will. Just don't tell them that you bought it preowned from someone else. They don't ask you anyways, so just don't bring it up. Take it to a boutique and tell them that you would like to refurbish or repair your handbag. HTH!

I have taken a 40-50 year old scratched to bits Chanel to the boutique for fixing - there is no earthly way that I could have been the original owner. As mentioned, the focus is on the item, not the person holding it. I had that one done in the USA - they have a flat rate full refurbishment there. If you are in the USA and have it refurbished, I recommend the comprehensive repair, don't just select bits, because the rest of it will be out of keeping with the bits you tried to save money on.

That's good to know for the future. Thanks!

The bag I am/was considering is only a few years old. Its in good condition except for some chipping on the gold of the CCs. To be honest, I think I'm going to skip this one. As much as I like it, I think they are charging too close to retail to buy it used.
 
Hi dears, trying my chance at asking u girls if any of you have experienced stains on patent Chanel leather? I live in humid Singapore and there seem to be stains which make certain areas of my black patent got not glossy anymore. Ya reckon if the peeps at Chanel refurbish leather. . I wish they have bag spa or something like Hermes,...

Patent leather is hard to clean/refurbish...So I don't know if you will get the results that you are hoping for. But it never hurts to try!
 
I recently bought a vintage (1994) maxi flap and the one of the rings attached to the flap that the chain goes through is loose. I was told the rings are held together with tiny screws. Has anyone ever have this happen to their bag? I wonder what the repair cost would be.

This is normal and happens to mine too. The rings have grooves and you can actually fit and screw them back yourself. My guess is the bag has been cleaned and the cleaner took off the hardware. HTH!
