<p>[QUOTE="reader, post: 4346121, member: 255"]I understand that you’d like to “save” this bag but my opinion remains to just leave it alone. The patent is ruined and cannot be restored and all that can happen is that you further screw it up and totally destroy the finish. If it were virtually any label beside Hermes I’d tell you to donate it but because it is Hermes it still has value and someone will buy it “as is”. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don’t care what any product claims, the issues of your bag cannot be fixed by you, Hermes, or anyone else.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
