Not sure if it has been posted here or not... but this is the US repair pricing sheet from 2014, takes approx 10-12 weeks (hope it will not increase in year 2015). Please refer to below for reference and Best to call Chanel Boutique to confirm most current repair pricing. HTH.

Thanks Chanbal!

I have purchased the bag. However, I didn't get it authenticated here first because it was a good price and I jumped on it. Will get it authenticated through a paid service after I receive it. Good thing it's returnable :) Great to hear that you think Chanel can restore its color!!

I'm interested in buying a bag from fashionphile as well but am concerned about authenticity. Did you get your bag authenticated? Could you share your experience?

thanks!

Has anyone had the rings pop out of their chanel bag? I have a maxi single flap it's from 2009 so leather is a bit softer now and I do use it often. All 4 rings are coming off. I got the bag on eBay but have original receipt and tags so I'm pretty sure it's authentic. Should I send it in?

It looks like you have a defective bag. It never happened to any of my Chanel bags. Since you purchased your bag on ebay, I would have it authenticated prior to taking it to Chanel. Unfortunately, tags and receipts are not enough to assure authenticity these days. Good luck!

Hi there!

I actually ended up returning the bag. It was accurately described by Fashionphile, it's just that when I actually saw it, I didn't love it. The bag was quite heavily worn so the price was significantly discounted, but it was still quite a chunk of change for a bag that I didn't love.

Anyway, about Fashionphile, I found that their descriptions were accurate. The bag came in a box with lots of stuffing paper. The refund was very easy to process. All you had to do was go online and click on a link for a FedEx shipping sticker. The refund was processed promptly after they got the package back. I believe if you want to return something you need to ship it within 7 days of receipt of the item.

As for authenticity, based on my research on the PF, many people have had wonderful experiences with Fashionphile, and there have only been a few instances of questionable products. You probably should still get the item authenticated in the relevant authentication threads before you buy. Otherwise, I believe there are services that provide authentication for a small fee that you could look into after you receive the bag.

Hope this helps!

So glad you posted this! I didn't realize the prices for the total refurbishment had jumped so much!

It went up almost double from the year before! I had my very 1st Chanel bag (bought 22 years ago redye the black color for 1/2 the pricing approx 1.5 years ago.) I was told part of the huge jump was due to higer resale market demand.

Does anyone knows if Chanel will reglaze the corners or redye the bag? I'm planning to purchase a preowned medallion tote bag in pink but the bottom corners are scuffed and the back is slightly darken. How much would they charge for redye or reglazing? Thank you for the help!!!

This is helpful, thanks! Can someone verify what the price is for replacing the "cc" closure on a handbag? The "f" in the watermark is right over it and I can't see it on my monitor. TIA!
