ok i will thanks!! =D

i had Artbag repair a vintage LV clutch and their work was superb.

Good evening, all! Please forgive me if I have posted this in the wrong forum, but, I've never had a bag repaired by Vuitton (or by anyone else, period)...How does one go about in having a strap replaced, for instance? I have an older Saint Cloud GM that I'd like all the vachetta replaced, but I'm unsure which boutique near me (D.C) would take my bag in. Also, how long does a repair of this "magnitude" take (just the strap and the vachetta tab at the front of the bag closure)?

Thank you in advance!

I tried taking my mom's old speedy to get repaired (needs new zipper and hardware had weird green rusting) at both the LV store in Tyson's Corner (in the same building as Hermes) and the LV boutique in Bloomingdale's - and they both told me that they won't take/send bags to be repaired. I'm thinking of sending it to Fordham repair in NYC.

Hi there! Just wondering if anyone has tried to repair their Givenchy bags in the UK before?
Some help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I hope I'm posting the right place. I have a Chanel Agenda and one of the rings (6-ring-Agenda) doesn't close completely. I'm looking for suggestions to where I should send it for repair. All suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've been wondering this too--- thank you!

Send your bag to Rago Brothers in New Jersey. Dior uses them for repairs and also many other companies. Dior sent one of my vintage bags to them for repair and dyeing and they did an Excellent job! Looks like new! They are not cheap but worth every penny!

^ good tip...

If the designer does not repair the bag and it gets repaired at just a public place would it still be classified as 100% authentic?
