sisters!  Help please...nagtutuklap kasi yung leather ng Chanel Cambon ko, so I went to Besa's last Saturday.  The person there recommended that the leather be replaced...hindi na raw kasi madadaan sa recolor.  She (the person at Besa's) said that they'd replace it with calf skin and that they'd retain all the hardware.  They'd also try raw na i-perfect yung stitching at lining. It would cost P10,000.

What do you think sisses?  Magmumukha bang fake yung Chanel ko if I do that?  Sayang kasi, pero mas sayang kung gagastos ako ng P10k tapos mukha namang fake yung bag.

TIA!

If the leather is replaced, that is not authentic chanel leather na. no resell value =)

^^ have you asked Chanel if they can do something about it?

i dont like besa's. brought my samsonite for repair to their gh branch. when the due date came to claim my bag, i was told that it was still in their shangrila store. and guess what the guy told me - baka po pwedeng kayo nalang kumuha sa shangrila. wtf! so professional of them!

hi sisses, where do you buy bag dust bags? yung iba ko kasing bags walang dust bags eh.

I use old pillowcases as dustbags. 

[margareta]

^ i've been looking for dust bags too.. thank you for the idea sis!

I had a calf skin leather bag (MK) that has oil stains on it. is it possible to still remove the stains? or kahit re-color lang?

can anyone recommend a good bag shop where i can have extra holes added to my leather bag strap? i just recently bought a mulberry oversized alexa. while i love the size of the bag itself, the strap is just too long for me. i don't wanna do the double-looping of the strap thing as that will leave a mark on the strap. thanks in advance.

is it ok to store your expensive bags in non-woven / eco bags?

[pbrg]

was not able to use my gucci for about 3 months and pagkakita ko, may mga nagpi-peel na areas  =(  I store them sa dustbag naman although patong-patong with other bags.... should I bring it na sa Vintage Restore or may service din ba sa store ang Gucci like LV

[cindy1211]
