Wait...What?! I was under the impression that all the Chanel boutiques offer this service???
No, I went to both boutiques and they said they could only refurb no cleaning/spa service. Unless I'm under the wrong impression that spa does not equal cleaning but spa = refurb?
What is refinish outside or clean inside (Line 2)? I asked them about any type of cleaning and they said refurb only...
this is outdated because Chanel has decided that they want people buying new bags vs. repairing old ones. So menu items like relining interiors got axed, and they increased repair prices by a ton.
Really disappointing. Luxury isn't luxury without the super service
I see, when I spoke with them, they said the refurb was still around 600$ so we still have that going for us!
Recently, I brought my pearls necklace to repair because it was broken. I was kind of suprised when I found out that it would cost $85 to reattach the necklace. Bought it for $1800, thought the repair should have been free of charges. Chanel really do need to offer better customer service.
Hello,
I am not experienced with buying preowned bags so my question is it worth it to buy a fixer upper? Is it expensive?
I found a metallic grayish silver double flap bag in quilted lamb skin and it is a reissue but it needs some love. There are a few stains on the outside and one area on the inside, the side lining needs to be re stitched. The bag is at a high end thrift store for $450. Would it be worth it? Or would it cost thousands to repair?

This is a thread that may give you some answers. There is a price list somewhere in the thread I think. Is it possible for you to buy the bag and return if you get an estimate or opinion and it doesn't work out?
Do you have pics of the bag and the damage, that may help you to get answers.

Wow, disappointing indeed. They charge a ton of money for repairs, and the bags aren't exactly cheap in the first place...
If the Chanel spa prices end up being a lot, maybe you can try a reputable third party like Leather Spa or Leather Surgeons. Might be worth if it you only pay a few hundred dollars for the bag upfront.
I think I will just pass on this bag. It's really not terrible looking and would be fine to carry but I think it would bother me. I hope someone enjoys it! $450 is pretty cheap.
