Modern Leather NYC handles the BV work on this side of the pond - check with them for a quote; they've done fantastic work for several of us who send straight to them without BV as the middleman.

Thank you but I need a company here in Europe.
The problem is that I have to pay import duty on my own bag when I send it outside the EU.

Yes, it really sucks being penalized by duties. I feel your pain. Not sure where in the EU you are, but let's flag @papertiger and @LouiseCPH as they're in England and Denmark respectively. They might have a suggestion for you.
Good luck :flowers:

Thank you!
I had several discussions with the officers if there is a way to avoid paying for my own goods- there isn't!:annoyed:
There a few leather restorators in the U.K.- but I better ask for recommendations before...

I'm in Scotland which is a whole other place, especially if you live in Scotland.

Sorry, I have no clue. I'd take BV back to BV. This is why I buy BV, Gucci and Hermes, their excellent aftercare.

Sorry guys, hope someone else can help you better

hey everyone,
I am new here and I am so sure where to ask my question, so I will try to aks my question here. I hope that is ok..
I bought a BV bag back in february. It is a tote bag in a metallic grey color.
Until now I have only used it for 5 or maybe 6 times. But I start to realize that the dark grey color is probably a overspray.
Because the dark grey overspray on the handles start to peel off... I can already see the light grey color underneath it..
It doesn't look pretty.. it looks a little bit disgusting actually...
Can I bring it back to the shop and ask them to fix it for me? Is it possible to fix it?
Thanks
Have a good day..

That's what my brunito rete tote handles look like........the finish is wearing off. I used my bag a bit longer than you before it started to come off. I'm sure the acid in our skin and hand creams we use have something to do with it.

When I first saw the round croc coin purses that BV offered in Asian countries for the Chinese New Year, I really wanted one. So, when I saw the new round coin purse on the BV site, I requested my SA, Danah, send me one. I LOVE it. I went with the denim, but glycine was also available.

I took a number of photos trying to show the size in relation to the other pieces. Also, irl, I probably would not carry it hanging on the outside of my bag, even though it's designed to be a key ring.

Sorry, I would love to know a good BV-spa in Europe, but I have not found one - and must admit that I sold my light colored BV's for this very reason, i.e. fear of not being able to keep them clean.

I once talked to the SA in BV Copenhagen Airport, and she mentioned a dry cleaner which she had used for a suede bag here in Copenhagen, but it was not a BV bag, and she was not recommending it in her official capacity....
