Hermes Box Calf - Is this dry rot?
Please notice the tears on the back edge, where it had to be sown at home (that's why it looks messy). Would that hold a stitch, if it needed to be hand sown again by Hermes?
Anoher tear on side folds and missing chunk in the front edge of the bag. I was told the it was all due to the bag's age (1945) and that it only had one Hermes spa treatment in 2010.
Are these tears dry rot and this is beyond repair?
And if the bag can be repaired, will cracks on the leather always show?
Thank you!
