Fantastic experience

Fantastic experience. Received my beautiful Mulberry Bayswater yesterday which was listed as in great condition and it’s actually in excellent condition and looks almost new. Excellent customer service also via WhatsApp when requesting additional photos, with swift, secure delivery and packaging. Definitely worth paying that little bit extra (although still competitively priced) to have the peace of mind that you have purchased a genuine Mulberry that is in excellent condition. Really pleased with my purchase. 100% recommended.

Paid for bag authentication online

Paid for bag authentication online. They were unable to do it online , and asked if I want to send them the bag or if I want cancel and refund. I’ve chose the refund as I don’t trust the bag to be sent by post. Then sent them emails to confirm the refund, they don’t answer at all and no refund notification issues. This is a big scam. Please refund money for a service not provided

THEY WILL DEVALUE YOUR BAG AND NOT…

THEY WILL DEVALUE YOUR BAG AND NOT RECTIFY!!! TERRIBLE WORK THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX ACCORDING TO WARRANTY!!
Just has a Full Vachetta Replacement on my LV Neverfull. The stitching is crooked on the piping with white untreated edges and they are refusing to redo it, instead offering me a partial refund. Unacceptable!!! Bag looks awful and they are not adhering to their own policies. I am infuriated with these people and will be getting an Ombudsman if they do not fix my now DEVALUED bag. They devalued my bag with the awful work that they refuse to make right. Terrible

Messed up a 1992 vintage Chanel bag

I trusted The Handbag Clinic with my Chanel bag and they returned it with the chain fitted incorrectly. Rather than taking responsibility for their own workmanship, they dismissed my complaint, ignored the evidence and expected me to pay to fix the problem they created. Avoid.

Very bad customer service

I reached out to the handbag clinic for repair service for a bag. They have been very quick at providing a quote. When the bag reached their workshop and after further inspection, they contacted me saying that they could not do the repair which I found honest and understandable. The bag was sent back to Selfridges for me to collect it which took some time. After chasing twice, Selfridges contacted me confirming that the bag was available for collection (no timeline was given). Being a working mum of 2, I could only go 2 weeks after receiving that email. I was very upset in finding out that the bag was not there and they could not say where it was. They assumed it was sent back to the workshop. The person who assisted me was supposed to investigate and let me know when the bag will be sent back to me. This was on Wednesday… this is definitely not what to expect from this kind of business and for a customer service!

Appalling service

Appalling service. Sold me a damaged handbag, the lock fell apart within 2 weeks of receiving it! Customer services simply ignored my last email chasing them to do something about it. Go buy new from the shops as with this service you aren’t saving anything!!!

Excellent job

Handbag Clinic have repaired a couple of bags for me. One was a Chanel 19 & the other one was a LV bag that actually had a hole in it. On both occasions they did an amazing job. It has meant that I have been able to wear both bags again.

The artisan was Jenny who worked on my most recent repair, my very well used brown Chanel 19. It looks like new now.

Very pleased I will definitely use them again.

It gets worse

I have already lodged a very poor review - which you chose not to respond to internal to your website. You saw my legitimate feedback on this Trustpilot platform and the optics of that suddently caused you to reply. What you now have gone on to do is use a courier to retrun my bag buit you did not ask me when i wopuld be home - it may suprise you, I work. DX haave been to my property today and have not contacted me in any way - they have simply gone away. I have no bag and I feel as angry with you as i did at the outset. You have given my bag to a courier and i doint have it - nor do I have a way to get it. please sort this out immediately and at my, not yuour, convenience.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your delivery experience did not meet your expectations.

After reviewing your order, we can confirm that it was dispatched from our premises on 10th July, and a shipment confirmation email was sent at 12:10pm. This email included confirmation that your parcel had been handed to DX, along with a tracking link where delivery progress could be monitored and delivery preferences, including the delivery date, could be updated if required.

We apologise you feel that the communication you received from the courier did not provide the level of updates you expected, and we apologise for the frustration this caused. We have passed your feedback on to DX so they can investigate why the expected delivery notifications were not received automatically without manually tracking the parcel.

We can see that a redelivery has now been arranged for Wednesday. A member of our Management Team has reached out, to confirm this is convenient for you and confirm we will this liaise with the courier to arrange an alternative delivery date that works better for you if not.

We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us work with our delivery partners to improve the service we provide.

Kind regards

Disappointing service

Disappointing service , avoid this company
I entrusted my tatty but loved Mulberry bag to this company in January to be refurbished. I was advised that it would take 4-6 weeks . When I had paid them they then advised me it would now take 6 months as they were very busy . I agreed as I expected something exceptional to be taking 6 months but asked to be updated .
6 months passed and no updates at all . I tree to telephone but a recorded message advised me to e mail and I would be replied to in 72 hours .

I sent a strong letter asking for my bag which would surely be finished by now . I was then advised by e mail it was completed and I received it on Friday with no note, apology or receipt, just my bag in a box with bubble wrap !

The work is disappointing to say the least, I know the bag was tatty but it’s barely been touched .
Avoid this company , they can’t even answer their phone .

Dear VH,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations.

We would first like to apologise that the lead time for your repair was extended after your order was placed. Earlier this year, we experienced an unprecedented influx of repair orders, and in order to continue delivering the highest standard of craftsmanship to all of our clients, we had to revise our lead times. This is never a decision we take lightly, but we believe it is important to be transparent with our customers rather than make promises we cannot keep. Since then, we have made significant internal changes, and thanks to the hard work of our team, we are pleased to say our repair lead times have now returned to our usual standard. We do appreciate the patience you showed during this period.

Having reviewed your order, we can see your Mulberry bag underwent both a full handle replacement and a full Oak restoration—two of the most intricate and labour-intensive services we offer. For this reason, we were surprised to read that you felt there was little difference in the finished result. We always encourage customers to contact our Repairs Team as soon as they receive their item if they have any concerns about the workmanship, as we are more than happy to discuss the results and, where appropriate, review the item further.

In relation to communication, we have reviewed all correspondence on your account and can see that each of your emails received a timely response. You contacted us on 28th April requesting an update, and we replied within 24 hours confirming your revised estimated completion date of early July, which you acknowledged. You then contacted us again on 7th July, and again we responded within 24 hours to confirm your bag was awaiting final quality control and that you could begin arranging its return delivery. We also received your letter, although this arrived after we had already responded to your email enquiry. We do not have an active inbound phone line, but do offer contact via email and WhatsApp. Also customers can request a call back and this will be actioned asap.

We're sorry that the overall experience fell short of your expectations. Customer satisfaction is extremely important to us, and if you would still like to discuss the workmanship on your bag, our Repairs Team would be happy to review your concerns with you.

Again, we thank you for using our services and the patience and candour shown during your repair window.

Kind regards
The Handbag Clinic

Dear Claire,

(as below)

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are very sorry that this was your experience and completely understand how disappointing it must have been.

Unfortunately, your order coincided with the item being purchased almost simultaneously through two different sales channels—our website and our in-store concession. As we offer a large collection of unique pre-owned items across both channels, very occasionally two purchases can occur within moments of each other.

In this instance, a communication error meant that both orders were incorrectly marked as fulfilled. As a result, the issue was not flagged to our Customer Experience team, and we were unable to contact you proactively. We completely appreciate that this meant you had to chase your order for an update, and we sincerely apologise for that.

As soon as you got in touch, we explained the situation and processed a full refund immediately.

While we recognise we cannot replace the exact item, our management team has also agreed that, as an apology for the inconvenience caused, we will contact you as soon as the next suitable bag becomes available and offer you preferential pricing.

Although situations like this are extremely rare, they can occasionally occur when managing thousands of one-of-a-kind pre-owned items across multiple sales channels. That said, we know this does not lessen your disappointment, and we are sorry that we let you down on this occasion.

We hope we have the opportunity to restore your confidence in us in the future.

Kind regards
The Handbag Clinic
