I was hoping I could get some advice from you regarding a vintage Chanel bag of mine that has been crushed under a very heavy object. The bag has become totally misshapen, and the leather in places quite stiff and crispy. On the inside flap, it is 'bubbling'. Some of the quilted diamonds appear to have shrunk and the quilting flattened, the leather has been so squashed! Also, the gold on the chain and the chain holes on the bag has in places faded off/eroded. I would like to restore the suppleness and original shape and perhaps recolour the leather and the hardware. I would also like to thoroughly clean inside and out. Please see the photos attached for the extent of the damage. Any advice on what to do, use and how to order any products would be very much appreciated.
