    Default Chanel - handbag needs repair !!!!!!!

    Hi - I have a vintage Chanel lambskin bag that needs repair on the front left corner area. Since I am not the original owner I don't know how the damage occurred. It looks like whatever happened it was filled in but it now looks bumpy and not smooth like the rest. I would appreciate any help you can offer. I would love to see it repaired to look great but also understand it may not be possible. Maybe at best it could be made to look better at least. I have included pics. Thank you for your time in helping.

    UPDATE!!!!! The previous owner said the damage is cat claw marks and a leather repairman put glue over the marks!!

    Somehow this bag does not look right!

    Wonder if this bag carries a "Chanel Authenticity Card"?

    Like to see more views, sides, back and strips.

    In my humble opinion, the authenticity of this bag is questionable.

    Strips:
    Unusual wear.

    Stitching:
    Amateurish

    Precision:
    Poor

    Grain and quilting effect:
    Too artificial

    You may bring this bag to the nearest Chanel Store to let them verify it for you or just confirm the ID number.
