Pre-loved designer bags and Mulberry repairs

A while ago someone posted a good place to buy and sell pre-loved bags.. where you could be sure they were genuine..

Can anyone help me find the site again ? .. it was a UK site

Also has anyone posted their Mulberry bag direct to the Mulberry factory to get a quote and repair from them ? How long did they take to knowledge they had your bag ( I am a bit worried about doing so.)

Thanks

I have a Bayswater tote that I have totally abused for at least 2 years as I use it daily.

I might try and clean it myself...

@Laska5772 what was the quote if you don’t mind sharing?
I need a strap repairing on one of Mulberry hobo bags, so I’d be really interested to get a ball park idea of how much it might cost.

snakie The Handbag Restoration Company (HRC) was £70- 90 (I was asking for them make a whole new strap in the same style ) depending on leather / finish etc. Though it may be £20 or so extra for specific colour matching.
The Handbag Clinic quoted £199 !

Mulberry wanted £150 about 5 years ago , but haven't asked them this time.

The HRC were super quick on coming back with quote ( i emailed them detailed photos ) . I am going with them.. But I am not worried about it being an authentic Mulberry strap as wont want to sell it .

Thank you - that’s really good to know.
I won’t be selling my hobo either as I love it! So I’ll definitely be emailing them for a quote.
Though I do have an Alexa I might contemplate selling, so I’ll look into those other websites too.

@Snakie which Alexa do you have ? I’m looking for one at the moment

I just wanted to update to say that the Handbag Restoration Clinic linked to above made me a new (longer) strap for my old Mulberry Darwin leather Effie and its a great match. They also sent me some restoration cream which I have now used and the bag is looking like new. (This photo was taken before I used the restoration cream), So pleased and the bag is now ready to be used again,.. I could never work out why Mulberry only put a short strap on it . HRC only charged me £98 so really pleased and highly recommend .

If i ever wanted to sell it ( which i dont , I still have the old strap and authentication but really not worried about that .)
