Thanks chriseve! I just got my bag back after 4 weeks and the cost was $60 to repair both corners.
I was dissappointed that they couldn't match the thread color to the original. It's a brighter shade of the same color but, I'll live with it b/c I don't want to go through the wait again plus they waived the fee when I pointed out the inconsistency.
This is a much older flap from the 90s so I understand that the thread used might be obsolete now BUT, I did read somewhere that the workshop in Paris archives all materials so I'm really surprised that they didn't send this to Paris when the thread wasn't available in the US repair shop.
Also, it came back with scratches on the edges and corners so that's another reason why I didn't want to send it off again.
Chanel's lack of standards is really starting to show. It's downright sloppy.

i am very new to this forum. I have recently developed a strong interest in the 2.55 chanel flap bag. For starting me off, im looking to purchase a used chanel off of ebay. I have found one that i think is in great condition but there is just one issue. The close snap button has a fracture on it. I am wondering whether i would be able to get that replaced through the chanel services in toronto. I am attaching a picture so you guys can see. Thanks in advance for your help!
