<p>[QUOTE=&quot;reader, post: 4345837, member: 255&quot;]If you’re selling it, i suggest you sell it as is</p><p>with full disclosures and plenty of pictures. I don’t think much can be done. You can send it to Hermes but their spa treatments start at several hundred plus. I paid $500 to refresh one of my bags about 6 years ago (that included a strap lengthening) and it’s probably gone up like everything else.Given the condition and the age the bag IMO is not worth putting hundreds of dollars into it. </p><p><br /></p><p>The problem is that it’s patent. Patent is basically the process of turning leather into plastic and the plastic is a sealer but it doesn’t completely stop moisture and other contaminants from penetrating. Older patents start to decompose, stiffen, crack, etc. it’s the reason I don’t buy patent. Patent is slso subject to transfer. If any of you have light colored patent that’s has areas of darker distress it means the patent has come in contact with dye or dirt that has permeated that first layer and there’s nothing you can do about it. On black that shows as dullness.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just clean it up as much as you can and sell it as is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
