Does anyone know the price of replating of the hardware on a small bag? Which store has the best repair service and what is the repair person's name and address?
Yes, it can be replaced and must be sent to Paris. It may be several months before you get it back and while I don't know the price I think I heard somewhere it can run several hundred.HG- can you have the hardware on the straps of a birkin (the one which reads "Hermes-Paris" replaced if it is scratched up. How much would that cost and does it have to be sent to Paris?

Hi,
I can't remenber the price of "polishing" a HW... You have to give your bag to your SA, he 'll do an estimate.
FYI, to polish a H buckle (silver or gold) it's around : 65 .
Dentalfloss, if this bag is from the 30's or 40's it may not need replating. The bags from that age are solid brass. So the hardware will not appear as yellow as modern bags and may appear to be in need of replating.The bag I have is really old. It dates back to the early 1930's or 40's. There are not any markings on it. It is black crocodile. A friend found it for me. It is from the estate of the Duchess of Leeds. The clasp flips down. On the inside it is lined with calskin There is one pocket on the back wall that snaps and three pockets on the front wall. It is styled like a mini kelly with two straps. I did use the jewelry cloth to shine the hardware.
