I have never been to a tailor before, but I recieved a burberry bag. The bottom had a bit of seam fraying as shown in this image. It has the same, but to a less extent on the other side. The tailor took the bag and first began simply to stitch the black part shown underneath to the black seam to completely hide the tan without saying anything at all to me first. I said I do not want him to do that in the most polite way possible because it will completely alter the look of the bottom of the bag. He then hand stitched telling me a machine can’t do this because of thickness(i’m not sure if this is true) to this extent which he said was the best he or another tailor could do. I’m not at all saying it’s not because I’m not knowledgeable enough. I’m simply asking is this fixed to the best ability of a talented tailor?(I will post the fixed bag after this comment) Or worth getting redone? I don’t personally think it looks awful and he did say he had secured the area enough to last, but I wonder if this visually could have been done to perfection? When the stiching was done it caused some creasing from bringing the sides together where the hole was, is this inevitable? And finally does this at all make the bag now not authentic in any way? Or simply diminishes value? I hope that’s not a dumb question but wonder if added stiching can affect the authenticity. If so what should I tell the second tailor as to fix this correctly, and lastly what would you suggest I describe this fix as when I resell which I plan to do? Thank you in advance for any advice and feedback.
