| Hi, can anyone recommend a trusted cobbler to repair designer handbags? Considering buying a vintage Chanel that will need repairs. I also own another vintage bag that I would like “refreshed.” Open to any suburbs of Washington DC. Thanks! |

| If leather (not fabric) I’ve heard excellent reviews of leather surgeons. They are not local however. |

| Leather surgeons are phenomenal. They are who Chanel contracts to do repair work through the store. I had them reburbish the leather on my Chanel boy and add links to make the strap longer - they are able to use authentic pieces to do this. It was about $300 and my purse looked brand new. |

| I take it to the channel in Tysons, and the SA sends it out. She told me the bag went to channel for repairs but I've also heard they just use Leather Surgeons |
