I am SO DISAPPOINTED!!! I bought two pens from their website. They only offer one pink pen option, which they claim to match to multiple brands in "blush pink". My Michael Kors bag is their signature blush pink color. (I also bought a white pen for my other bag.) The pink WASN'T EVEN CLOSE TO MATCHING the color of my bag! The pink was MUCH brighter than the bag color, even when dried. I ended up having to get the paint from the pen off the bag, which was almost impossible and now it looks worse than before! I asked The Handbag Spa through email about returning the pen because it cost $40 USD (for

[Edit 2020] I won my small claims case against this company. I have court papers proving this company is lying about this. Feel free to contact me personally if you need help with your claim. No one deserves to have their beloved handbags ruined. Avoid at all costs. This is the most unprofessional, unresponsive and irresponsible clinic I have ever used. My Chanel was sent over 8 weeks ago with full payment. Upon delivery, I was told the job can be completed, and will be done within 4 - 8 weeks. However after 8 weeks, I still had personally chase for updates 3 times through various emails and

They have completely ruined my bag. The whole leather is dehydrated and torn and they blame me for it. I took pictures on the day i send it tot hem and the leather was in perfect condition. Then they make more stains and do not mention it before they send it back. The stains were not there and the leather was in perfect condition was shredded. They also dare to ask money for this too.. The moment you file a complaint, they indicate that you have done it yourself. Never send your bag here !!!

I must say I wasnt very hopeful as I had spilt oil all over the top and inside of my tan small Bayswater mulberry bag and purse! I was devastated as you can imagine, I sent it away back in April, they do say it can take up too 8-10 weeks but I wasnt bothered how long it took as long as my bag was back to normal, well I received them back Friday and I cant tell you how pleased I am! They are perfect! I would definitely recommend using this company, they keep you undated throughout the process with emails and its the best money Ive spent this year!!!
