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.


Thank you very much Tonkamama. Extremely helpful!
 
I purchased a Jumbo Classic Flap from Fashionphile several months ago. The bottom corners are rubbed and around the front bottom of the flap is worn. I want to have the bag restored and made to look as new as possible.

Does it make a difference which Chanel Boutique the bag is sent to for repairs?

Thank you in advance for your help.
 
Are there other reputable places to have bags repaired that isn't by Chanel officially? Their prices are insane...

I have two bags, one is a metallic reissue that has some of the color rubbing off in corners and such. Also, one of the links in the chain has opened a little and could be fixed by clamping it back together (tried to do this myself but it was too hard).

The other bag is a dark red lambskin, and got a small cut? or dent? in the leather. The leather in that spot has peeled a little but is still attached, so it could probably be glued back in somehow.

I don't mind spending some money but it seems like I'd be spending a LOT if I sent it to Chanel. Both of these are old bags.
 
I manage to take a picture of the crack at the bottom of the strap, if anyone know the price of this repair at Chanel, pls kindly let me know, thanks in advance! :graucho:
I think you should bring it to the boutique and ask the repair specialist should the strap need to be replace or restitch. Cause the price is vary. It's $125 to replace the strap and $85 to restitch. It's depend how bad it is.

Did you try Rago Brothers?
 
Did you try Rago Brothers?

No, but thanks for this suggestion. I'll look into it. I heard of lovin my bags before? Not sure which one is more highly recommended.

I think I will at least try taking the red chanel (the one with a couple small scrapes) to someone outside of chanel, since this bag is a lot older and the repair seems much more simple.

Not sure yet what to do about the metallic reissue, fixing this seems more complicated.

Repairing the red bag at Rago Brothers will likely cost you less, but you should get quotes from both.

Metallics are very difficult to repair, it would perhaps be better to have it done at Chanel.

I recommend Rago Bros., as well.
I sent a Chanel bag for interior cleaning.
Came back quickly in perfect condition, and price was good, as well.
 
Hello guys,
Will Chanel be able to fix this for me? I do not want the whole thing to be changed as it is gold plated and the new ones aren't today, so only the leather part. Any experience? I don't live near a Chanel so I can't go ask myself, so I thought I'd ask you guys. ImageUploadedByPurseForum1423996836.706137.jpg
