Reissue 227 structure repair

[PurpleRabbit]

Posting this in case anyone out there is contemplating a stucture repair. My Reissue 227 is one of my most used bag. I notices that her structure was becoming saggy and the bottom soft. I decided to send her to The Leather Surgeons for a face lift instead of buying a new one. I am very pleased with the results. The bottom is still foldable but has some firmness.

Wow! That looks great!

I have a Limited Edition 2005 ANNIVERSARY ISSUE in the rare Jumbo 2 28 size. I was considering to send my bag to Leather Surgeons for a spa treatment. I am pleased to hear that you are happy with the results. I am so incredibly happy that I purchased this bag and it will be vintage in just a few years.

Nice! Looks great!
I have a 227 that is 10-11 years old and I'm thinking of sending it to LS for spa too. Your pictures are very helpful.

Wow! I have never seen the 228 2005 ANNIVERSARY REISSUE. Great bag to have in your collection. What color is your HW?

Wow, that turned out great! I have the same model. Just out of curiosity, did you use any type of bag shaper/organizer in that bag?

No I did not.

I think this looks great!

LS has been getting a lot of flack lately on these forums (I guess it’s a YMMV kinda thing), but I have never had a bad experience with them. They did a wonderful job on my Birkin.

I bet she is a beauty. I just got my 226 with GHW back form LS. I had the hardware replated with the 24K gold.

My 2005 /2.55 Anniversary bag has the same issues. Thank you, so much for the pictures and I am sure they will do an outstanding job. Take care and stay safe.

Hi, my 227 is just like the one in your first pic. Creases at the bottom part. Can that actually be repaired?Desperate for solutions
