Help removing paint!

[umz123]

I bought a Chanel bag for pretty cheap but unfortunately when I received it I saw that it was a cream patent leather bag which had been repainted, the edges are starting to peel so I can see the patent underneath, is there any way to remove the white paint on top?

Can you return the bag?

That's so upsetting, you should get a refund.

Can you return the bag?

No I can’t get a refund anymore unfortunately

Were you aware that it was painted before you bought it?
If not then I think you should fight for a return since it's not as described.
If it was disclosed then it might need to be repainted.

eBay is pretty easy about returns. They don’t like to deal with dissatisfied customers even if it’s “non returnable” and the condition was disclosed.

I can’t return anymore, anyone have any idea how to strip paint off patent leather?

I'm sorry I don't, can you contact a leather repair company?

There was probably a reason why it was painted. Patent leather can yellow or change color over time due to oxidation. Patent leather can also get sticky from oxidation. It can also experience color transfer.
