Thanks Tutushopper, I will eventually.

Hoping to take her there in person but not sure when right now. I can still wear her and only I can tell the corners are a bit worn also she only gets very occasional use. The leather is probably starting to dry out.

I would advise you to contact Chanel Paris and inquire about where and how to send your bag to them for refurbishment.

I might do this. I called also a shop in Belgium who sells different high-end brands as Chanel, Gucci, Prada,... and they told me the same. The SA recommended me a dry-cleaner who is also very good in refurbishing bags. I am concidering this also, although I read here that the guarantee is not valid anymore if you do this ? Does this also count for the chain ?

New to forum: I just inherited my mothers Chanel purse & it's over 50 years old. It is in need of repair from scuffed edges and expected wear for its age. I went to the Chanel store in the Mall of Millennia in Orlando Fl and was given an estimate of $600.00!! That sounds high to me but it is after all from my mother given to her by my father so it's sentimental. My question is will I get my$600.00 worth? Will it look new? I have zero experience with Chanel. I'm at a loss what to do, please help?

It sounds like they will do the full refurbishment, which includes new hardware where needed, new straps, new binding/edging, full cleaning, plus color fix and any other needed repairs. They do a great job. This past year prices for refurbishment doubled due to the many bags they get from buyers from second hand shops, thus the price of $600 where it was previously under $300.

Thanks TuTu, also how can I find out more about this purse? Because of its age there is no hologram, no card. Is it worth the $600 I might be dropping to refurbish? It doesn't seem to have any logos on it either. I only know its a Chanel because my mother told me it was & it looks like one. Appreciate any info you or anyone has.

Is it worth it to you? That's the main question I suppose you need to answer. If it were my mom's bag, since I just lost her, it would be priceless to me. If you want verification as to the authenticity and value, you can drop an email to Etincelerauthentications.com and ask them (I think it's about $5-7 for this).

I thought I would share this. i just took my large black bag into chanel.i took it to do total refurbishment. my price was $580 plus another $25 to ship to where i live. she said they would put new hardware handles ect. i think it is very much worth the price. i bought the bag for 1750 and now runs 3,000 new. i will let you know the outcome. she said 3 to 4 months. most likely 3 months. when i read older posts they were talking three hundred. they do not send to france i think somewhere in new York. i just wanted to share this so there is no surprises when you go. i was a bit in shock but best to know the facts...........i will take a photo when my bag returns.

also wanted to say my bag was 7 years. she said that is the longest they have record of. she found where i bought it ect. i had not even the tag on the bottom. but i think they also know real chanel bags. don't need to bring cards or receipt just the bag.

The price of refurbishment more than doubled last summer; that's why when you read the old posts you see under $300 for the full thing. I'm sure your bag will be stunning when you get it back; please share before and after photos with us.
