LV Goes to The Bag Spa

My mom's bag (she doesn't know yet) . Ready to be brought to the spa.

My own bag is sitting there. She will be brought to the spa too, but maybe on end November.

The Bag Spa at Collyer Quay.

LV sitting on top of the counter. After the attendant sniffed her (twice or thrice).

**************************

The guy (attendant) said it's a relatively new bag, and doesn't need a thorough cleaning yet. He said they actually sell a leather cleaning product, which is only SGD18, compared to SGD80 (for the cleaning).

He kept explaining, because he said most of the girls he spoke to loved to complain. Like why the bag came out looking the same etc etc. Hmm, probably got scolded before that's why he's being so thorough.

Anyway, I told him I'd like to have the bag cleaned. I want the stench to be removed.

I bought a groupon for SGD25, so I had to top up another SGD30. Expensive, but nevermind, it's for my own sanity, because honestly the smell has been driving me crazy!

My friends told me before to have the bag professionally cleaned, but I was too stubborn then. I thought self de-stinking would do the trick.. but it didn't. And then, groupon came out with a deal.. so in the end, I went to the professionals for help.

Total cost of de-stinking:

1. Baking soda : about SGD2 (?)

2. Activated charcoal: about SGD8-10 (?)
3. Bag Spa cleaning: SGD 25 for the groupon, and SGD30 balance.

The bag will be at the spa for 3 weeks. Come to think of it, I myseld have never been to a spa.
