LADIES! I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but it should help you all and PLEASE spread the word! Fate put me in contact with the company Chanel outsources their repairs to, and they are open to the public!. They are an AWESOME family business and are so warm and helpful! I plan on sending all 15 of my babies in as soon as I can afford to. I have shipped my blue perforated jumbo in and will post before and afters soon! Best part is that there won't be a 2-3 month wait for your refurb!! I anticipate 3 weeks or less for everything I send in. They have the best communication and I'll attach a few before and after pics! I'm so glad I found them, and that I can help all you dolls get reasonable prices on your repairs! Contact info is as follows:

Oh! And please note: I found out about this company thru Instagram. They never claimed to be the company Chanel uses, but I found that out via @OpulentHabits who is a former 57th ave Saks sales associate. They are tight-lipped about that affiliation, so keep that in mind! 😜
I am happy to report I received back my bag from refurbishing and could not have been happier.
My cost was $285 for cleaning a two tone (black/beige) lamb clutch/small shoulder bag. I left the
bag at the Chanel shop on 7/30 and received a call this past Friday (9/5) saying it was ready. Five weeks, which I though was great. Totally cleaned - lovely job. I was happy no re-dye as people have mentioned (and even the Chanel SA concurred) that the lamb never feels the same.

They work for my business and I've been sending them all my brands to. I don't think they would work directly for Chanel customers, but they do amazing work for stores and other brands
Has anyone cleaned the inside fabric lining of their bag themselves - without sending to Chanel?
I bought a bag at a great price but the seller was less than forthcoming about the stains/marks on the inside lining. I just had a bag cleaned at Chanel and they did a great job but that was for the outside and it was pricey ($285) so I would like to avoid going that route again - thanks in advance for any offered help/advice/suggestions -

Hello ladies, I wanted to get some help and suggestions on whether or not this handbag is worth the purchase and then refurbishing. I have called lovin my bags and Chanel, Barbara quoted me $400 and the SA at Chanel said it can range from 85- 500. Thanks in advance for your help ladies. I am a Chanel newbie.

i'm glad i found this thread! i'm so scared to send anything to my chanel boutique ever again. i sent some boots for repair that are sold out and hard to find now, and they were damaged in shipping. gone forever.
An update - after doing some more forum research, I mailed my bag to Rago Bros. on Thursday. It was received today and I already had a call from them with a quote of $85.00 to have all the stains removed. After some additional correspondence from the seller, she has agreed to refund me $30.00 toward the cleaning. I didn't push for more since I am the second ebay purchaser of the bag. The first buyer returned for the staining but had paid $180.00 more in the auction. In addition, I had it authenticated by the gals at Etinceler and what I paid was even less than the low end of their authentication, so I still consider it a good deal. I will try to post pics when it is returned, the gal at Rago said it won't be more than a week. I mentioned in an earlier post that Chanel did a great job with an outside cleaning of a bag I send to them recently, but I paid $285.00 for that. I know that Chanel uses different locations for their cleanings/repairs, I couldn't tell from the paperwork received where exactly my bag was serviced.
I decided to take the plunge and purchase the bag. I am waiting for it in the mail. I'm going to take it in person to a chanel boutique and get an accurate quote. But meanwhile I looked up leather surgeons and Gerry was really helpful and knowledgeable so I might go with his company if I decide not to take the chance with chanel.
Hi, I have a Chanel tote bag but the chain strap is way too long for me. Can I know how much will Chanel charge to shorten it?
