Vintage redyed Chanel - should I keep it?

[Marie_annen]

I purchased a vintage (1991-1994) Chanel red double flap bag on Vestiaire collective for a really good price, 1400 euro. It was too good to be true, the bag has been redyed (original colour was also red) and Vestiaire spotted that in the authentication check. I'm battling back an forth if I should accept it was redyed. From the pictures I can not see that it was redyed, besides that the bag seems to be in okay condition (not great, just okay). But it's hard to say if it really looks good without having the bag in front of me. So it's a bit of a risk, trusting the pictures where it's not really visible that it was redyed.
I always buy bags with reselling in mind, because I love switching out bags once in a while, but will I be stuck with this one? Do you guys have opinions that can help me make up my mind? Would love to hear them!

You can tell the bag was painted in image 4 at the gold hardware grommet (red paint spilled onto the gold hardware), could also feel more dry in-person based on quality of paint used on lambskin. I would pass.

I agree totally with @stylequake That being said....you mentioned you like to resale items ...& this truly
a huge "red" flag ...no pun intended! I will never purchase a re-dyed bag...someone's problem don't let it be yours!

The problem with a re-dyed bag is that you really can't tell what it's real condition is, and if they used the wrong type of dye, not only could it make the leather hard but you can't clean or feed the leather.

If the only reason for buying this bag is the OK price, pass. Especially if you don't think you'll be the bag's last owner.

I think this will be a challenging resell down the road.
The wear & tear plus the "repaint" would make me pass, JMO

I reached out to the seller, who has had a couple of days to reply me, to know more about the repaint, but with no reply. Also not a good sign.
I cancelled the order.

Thanks for the input guys!
