Receipts now asked for bags needing service outside of Paris

I think you may be right about the cracking down... I wanted to send my Bearn wallet for spa and the SA at Takashimaya SG said it would take 6 to 9 months. :shucks:

If its just minor cleaning you can do it yourself. I would not unnecessarily send my items to spa unless its major work to be done. The wait isn't worth it.
