Hi, is this Chanel bag worth getting?

[mich2501]

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum. Hope your experience in Chanel bags could help me decide whether to get this preloved bag.

The front of the bag has colour transfer marks. Could this mark be removed by using bag spa/ cleaning services? Or a total colour restoration needs to be done? I do not expect the condition to be brand new, but would really appreciate if the marks could be less obvious.

Ooo. It’s pretty but whether to get it is dependent on the price. At least that applies to me, very price sensitive here.

It took me 3 “looks” to find the mark...so to me it is not very noticeable. It does not detract from the prettiness of the bag. I would leave the mark alone....maybe just a recommended leather cleaner? But this is a light colored bag so you need to be “ok” with it getting a mark...if the price is good I would say it is a winner. Again, in your photo’s it looks super pretty. Only you can decide if you would be happy carrying it!! Good luck- let us know!

IMO they are pricing the bag at a very reasonable price taking into account the marks. they are at about $2,500.

Thanks for your opinion! I think I would go for it and try to get it cleaned first. The price is just irresistible!

I am a bit biased because of all the horrorstories you read here, but do consider how bad the marks are before you get it cleaned. Sometimes you see a before picture with minor damage and a severly damaged bag in the after picture. Nobody wants that to happen to their beloved bag.

I may be in the minority with my opinion. Although I agree that the bag is really pretty and price is great, I think it is a very delicate and high maintenance bag due to color and material. I would not get a lambskin bag in a color that is this light unless you plan to ware it only with very light colored bottoms.
