Anybody have any insight on shoe repair? I sent my BRAND NEW chanel booties to be repaired (less than two weeks after purchase, only had been worn twice...) when the chanel logo on the side fell off. I dropped them off at a store in NYC as I am there often, and they told me it would be 6-8 weeks. Does anybody have experience on lead time for this small repair? I cannot believe this happened. SO disappointed.

Quality of the brand has gone down a lot, now it's just name that they are charging us. Their styles are so drool worthy but too bad I wish they had better quality.

Hi Everyone! I've been following purseblog and the forum for some time, but have just very recently started posting. I got this Chanel classic flap about 4 1/2 years ago, and need to decide whether or not to take it in for refinishing/refurbishing before the 5 year mark. I took it to a Chanel boutique a few days ago and got mixed reactions. One woman working at Chanel said that I should not get my bag sent out and that the bags looked very bad and nowhere like new afterwards. She was quite adamantly against it. I asked someone else working at the store and he said that while it is more stiff and will be a darker shade of black, that getting it refinished is worth it and makes the bag look very good.
I'm so lost! I have until April decide but I thought I'd ask for some guidance from anyone on purseforum!

IMO, I think you should not let anyone talk you off for refinishing/refurbishing if your bag really needs some cares. If I were you, I'll have my bag for refinishing/refurbishing done before the 5 years deadline, and have Chanel to do the refinishing/refurbishing work right for the bag. Good luck!:smile1::smile1::smile1:

Yeah I think that's what I'm going to do! The SA just scared me a little bit but I feel like my bag really does need it. Thank you :)

I would get the bag refinished if it's bothering you. After 5 years, you will have to find another company to do it for you. I plan on having all of my newer bags refinished right before the fifth year hits.

Yeah, I think I will get it refinished. I don't know if I'd trust another company to refurbish or refinish this bag! I think I'd only trust chanel so that's another huge reason to get it done now. Thank you for your input :)

Hello :)

Does anyone know the replacement cost of the medallion and chain that attaches to the zipper pull on the Medallion tote? I called my local boutique and they would not give me a quote without inspecting the bag first. I am not sure how simple it would be to reattach myself.
Thank you!

I'm still debating whether or not to get my caviar flap taken in to be refurbished... if anyone has had experience with getting a caviar flap refurbished I'd really like to know! I just don't want to get my bag back and be surprised by how it looks.

I would send it to Chanel ASAP. I had a few bags caviar and lambskin cleaned/repaired at Chanel, and I was happy with the outcome.
