The detail is amazing. So in love with this one. Maybe we should have a thread where everyone can post their Chelsea Champlain bags?

I have had two bags done, and the full process including shipping took about 3 weeks or so.

Thank you - appears to be well worth the wait

LOVE IT! How well does the paint hold up? Is there a protective clear coat?

Sorry to keep answering the questions for Fayden, lol, but she does put on a protective coating of some type. And the paint holds up really well, as if it belongs on the bag.

It took about 5 weeks for me. She was working on another custom and I guess it took a while. I don't mind the wait. But once she started on mine, she finished it in 3 days. Not kidding! Then it took a couple more days for the protective coating to dry. So maybe 5 days from start to finish. And I've had a Speedy for a over a year now with the paint and it is still fine. But I don't use it all the time. Maybe a couple times a month. Just be careful with it and I'm sure it will hold up perfectly over time. I'm not worried about it at all.

Perfectly fine! I think a Chelsea thread would be great for questions like these!

I've been chatting with her on instagram. She is lovely. I just purchased a vintage casino bag that I may clean up and then send for her to paint. I "paint" but not like that!
Gorgeous job on that rogue- such a statement!!
