I picked up my bag recently. Repairs took exactly 5 weeks. It is a Speedy 25 from 1996. One of the chaps broke from my using a shoulder strap with the bag, so I had all 4 replaced, as well as the side tabs, and a new zipper pull. Total cost was $390 + tax and well worth it, especially since the technician who worked on the bag apparently thought the piping was beyond salvaging and replaced it at no cost to me! I’m a Chanel junkie, and their customer service is bad to the point of being insulting, so such good service from LV delighted and stunned me. Here are a few pics. Ironically, despite not requesting it, the new piping, I think, makes the biggest difference. (I’m definitely not a fan of wrapping scarves or twillies around the handles of a Speedy, but they’re there temporarily until the new vachetta has a chance to develop a patina that more closely matches the handles. I didn’t think the contrast would bother me, but once I saw it in person it bothered me tremendously.)
