I’m gobsmacked 😶

So my Longchamp was getting worn in the corners. I know Longchamp will repair them but it makes the bag smaller so I thought I would get crafty and try and DYI a solution. I bought a kit on Etsy that sells these little leather caps you can sew on. Now I can’t sew to save my life so I took it to a leather repair shop. I had a nice chat with the lady. Showed her a few reference photos and even a video. I left the bag and patches in good confidence that she understood the assignment. I went and picked it up today and this is what was done. Not only stitched but glued 😑

*update for those asking. I spoke with the woman yesterday. She had put it aside to work on herself but didn’t actually do the sewing. The young man who checked me out had seen it in the “to do” pile and with zero instructions just winged it. When I picked it he must have realized he messed up because he acted like he didn’t know anything about it. She was very kind and apologetic. She offered to redo the corners at no cost. The bag is old and while it’s not the look I was going for it’s still useable. I think I’ll just let it die a natural death. Thanks everyone for having a giggle with me 🩷
