Rejuventating, Repairing or Restoring Your Balenciaga

[Pupsterpurse]

^^^ Thanks for the address! I called them and mailed it off today, insured and all. I will keep everyone posted on how it turns out. I'm trying not to be down on all metallics right now. I'm just a bit shocked that this all happened over the course of a 2-hour dinner.

Pearl - I like your idea. If they can't fix it, I will probably try something like what you said. I am really really hoping that someone who knows what they are doing (vice me) will be able to fix it though. My mom once sent me to the hardware store for some paint for her bathroom and I totally missed the matching process. It ended up looking like a lemonaid bomb.

Didi - Isn't Denial the first step? I wonder about my compulsive nature with regards to bags sometimes too.

Good luck, Balenciagalove! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you--I'm sure they can fix it for you!

Balenciagalove, let all hope that the experts can fix it.

BLove, I hope they can fix it for you. ***hugs***

I HATE it when people say "just don't look at it". totally minimizes a real issue, and completely invalidates our experience! I'm in the mental health profession so I know real OCD from OCD-just-want-my-b-bag-to-be-perfect, and WE DON'T HAVE OCD!!! HAHAHA. Am I in denial?

I'm going to take it from you that I just want the lovely bags to look their best .... no denial I think!!!

Good luck with artbag Balenciagalove!

We are NOT in denial. I deny that we are in denial!

But seriously, I hope they can fix your bag, BL! And that it won't cost you an arm and a leg.

We are NOT in denial. I deny that we are in denial!

that is very sweet ROO! Brandi said that she's going to contact Balenciaga regarding my bag, and then get back to me. =D

*crossing my fingers for you, didi* I hope you get a new replacement!

 

[didi78]

still no word from Brandi. I just emailed her again this morning. we'll see. THANKS everyone!

btw, I'm SOOO tempted to lub the cornflower shrug! I just want to swoosh it and make it swooshy! haha!

Hello, I've been reading this forum for quite sometime, but I'm too shy to join the great conversations that all of you had. I recently noticed a tiny ripped in the corner of my bag. I guess the ripped is caused by the friction between the bag & my jeans. Does any of you have similar problem? What should I do to fix it & protect the leather from further ripped? Thanks so much for your suggestions...

 

[kahk3000]

the corners on my bag are wearing a bit too. I'm interested in hearing about any solutions, although, i'm thinking it's the nature of the beast

 

[jeannie77]

Ooh... I don't know what solutions there would be to that... I think leather will tend to do that over time (esp. in places like the corners where it's exposed to a lot of friction). Hope someone can help out!

I've only used this bag for 1 month and I've always use it very carefully. That's why I'm a bit surprised when I found out this problem. I guess Balenciaga is not as durable as anyone thought...

 

[shoegal]

I don't know none of my bags have had that kind of wear and I've own several that I've used since 2004.

 

[mocean]

what season/color is your bag?

hmm... maybe take it to the place you purchased it from? ask them for assistance

 

[cuir_observer]

the scuffing seems to happen through daily use. I just try to pretend like it isn't there.. but if it really bothers you, maybe someone here can offer good advice.
