I received a quote today to repair my 1998 Cabas Alto. She’s been a workhorse and I am pretty rough with my bags.
All exterior leather (chaps, shoulder straps, entire bottom part) $720, and replacing lining $120. I am happy that I will practically have a new bag for $840.
UPDATE:
Just received my Cabas Alto back from repairs today, 7/27/21. I sent it 4/22/21. Only took them THREE months! I was told that the bottom piece had to be made in France, so they were waiting for that. Not sure if that is really the case, but she is back now. Yay! Here are some before and after pictures.
