Hi, has ur patina darkened up much since ur repair? If yes, did you do anything to speed up the patina process?

Hello. I just used my repaired bag three times because it had been rainy in our State after the snow so it hasn't really darkened that much...I am looking forward to use it more this coming summer with all the family outings. If you like to fasten the darkening, "sun bathing" it might help or just enjoy it by using it[emoji4]
 
One of the brass rivets where the handles are attached on my Keepall 55 popped out and I need to get it fixed. Since the keepall is vintage and well used the three other rivets are pretty tarnished, so I think having just one replaced will look weird as it will be all shiny and new. Do you agree? Anyone know the cost of fixing this? And if it's a simple repair they do in-store or if it needs to be sent to Paris?IMG_0441.JPG

Thx you for responding. I am so nervous about this repair... I hope it comes back with no issues as this is not my regular SA/store. I should get it back in 5-8 weeks and will be tanning it a lot as it's got a lot of patina'ing to do to match the rest of the bag- my bag is 22 years old. Enjoy ur bag!
Btw- if ur into treating ur bags someone posted here about using colonil to waterproof their vachetta and even showed a pic of them dropping water on it after and it bubbled up and wiped right off. That should help with the rain/snow.

All new leather for my Speedy 25 was about $580 dollars. It took exactly 5 weeks. It looks so good.
