[Saralle]

Hi can anyone advise what can be done for the wear at the corners of my chanel caviar jumbo?
Do I have to send in for professional repair? My local chanel only fix hardware n stitching ,not leather..

[Roger Koh]

If you do paint your nails you would be able to follow instruction to refinish the corners of the Chanel bag. To look good between new and used you may want to refinish the entire bag instead.

Here are the holistic sequence of the process depends how details you want to go about it.

1) Foreign contamination is to be removed with Degreaser-2.2 follows with Rinse-3.0 or Acidifier-2.0 to control bleeding.
2) Leather rejuvenating is the replenishing of the original fat and oil after degreasing to restore the leather suppleness with Hydrator-3.3 follows with Fatliquor-5.0.
3) The worn areas need to be sealed to even out absorbency prior to refinishing with Adhesor-73 to restore the smooth skin prior to redyeing.
4) Color redyeing is done with coating dyestuff with Aniline-76 (black).
5) Gloss topcoating is done with AnilineTop-21.
6) Rub-resistant protection is done with Protector-B+.

Products mentioned are found in this Kit A7.cl. . .
I will walk you through when you decide to do it yourself.

Leather Doctor Kit A7.cl – Aniline Leather Dye Refinishing Kit
Leather Doctor® Kit A7.cl, aniline leather dye refinishing kit is designed for dyestuff and topcoat refinishing from the simple sunlight fading to the severely sweat damages from body oil and grease. Most severely penetrated, prolonged and neglected stains show a darkening effect with a sticky feel have its topcoat and dyestuff probably deteriorated by the sweat. When the stain feels sticky, it is a sign of leather denaturing and reverting to rawhide from breaking of bonds with the tanning agent. When sign of color is transfer to a white towel, it indicates that the dyestuff has also break bonds with the protein fiber. When leather is stiff or show signs of whitish residue migrating, it shows that the fatliquor is breaking bonds as well with the protein fiber. The main component of the leather protein fiber is amphoteric while the other constituents are not; shifting of the pH mainly caused from sweat to alkalinity affects the pH imbalance. To revert from denaturing into rawhide prior to topcoat refinishing, contaminated alkaline soiling is removed with Degreaser-2.2, a waterbased (pH 2.2) multifunctional degreaser that emulsifies greasy contamination besides controlling dye bleeding and charging the protein fiber ionic positive for strengthening the attraction between the ionic negative tanning agent, dyestuff and fatliquor. Deflocculated and suspended soiling is towel extracted, thereafter rinse and pH balanced with Acidifier-2.0 to prevent the leather from reverting to rawhide. When leather feels sticky or slimy it is a sign of leather denaturing, a squeaky feel when wet is a sign of a healthy leather. Hydrator-3.3 relaxes stiff leathers and removes surface tension free from surface blotchiness prior to fat and oil replenishing. Fat and oil is replenished with Fatliquor-5.0 to rejuvenate the leather for the desired suppleness when dry. Custom redyeing commences prior to topcoat refinishing. Protector-B+ imparts a non-stick rub-resistant protection with a buttery-feel that shield against sticky soiling and reduce friction noises. Note that the mentioned product suffix number denotes its pH value in this holistic leather-safe aniline leathers dyestuff and topcoat refinishing system.

Can I start from s.n 3?

[Roger Koh]

Sounds like you are just doing a quick touch-up of only the abraded area.

Yes, you can start with #3).

Prior application to smoothen it, the surface is best work over with leather Eraser-4 and follow through till #6).

Note:
You have to bear in mind that the localized repairs may stand out in terms of color and luster freshness.
