You can take it to Chanel and they can replate the hardware. Will probably cost a couple hundred dollars and take a couple of months, but they can fix it.

If you don't mind me asking... how much did it cost to replace the hardware on your vintage flap?ladies, I just got back my vintage from Paris. They've replaced my clasp and leather chain straps.. only problem is, they didnt give me back the old straps. My SA said that it's because they destroy it on the spot? Is this true?
I read somewhere that you get back everything they replace? Should i worry about it or just enjoy the bag?
thank you gwentan! i sent them an email and just got a reply from LMB. they can restore the spot on my washed caviar for $75 with a 2-day turnaround. has anybody ever tried LMB? the restoration pictures on their web look amazing, but i just wanted to make sure that nobody had any bad experience with them. TIA
I had all my hardware changed and the bag redyed and refurbished on my vintage camera bag. The edging was worn through and needed to be replaced. The bag came back looking brand new with all new gold hw and I was delighted to pay the $265 (total refurbishment), which i was told is the maximum charge, considering they have the real Chanel hw. I see posts that claim that it took months, but my bag was back in 3 weeks? I told the SA that I was thinking of restoring some of my other bags and I was able to get a hold of a Chanel repair menu. I'm so sneaky! Here it is!
