I think someone mentioned homeowner's insurace.
1) I would photograph the damage.
2) I would contact the party host, let her/him know what happened, explain the damage to the bag, and ask how to contact their insurance company.
3) It should be treated as any home based and the insurance should cover the repair or replacement
4) what it won't cover is whether or not the host will remain friendly to you--even though it was an accident. I assume they would though
5) Get it to a H boutique in NYC immediately. As the others have said, the longer you wait, it might set, and also, for the insurance company, it portrays your concern about the bag by dealing with it immediately.
6) on a bag like yours it really is like having a car vandalized, and insurance should cover it.
7) does YOUR homeowner insurance cover the bag?
So sorry about this start to the new year. I hope it gets fixed soon!
