Hard to answer ur question.. It depend on how u use and taking care of the bag. If the bag is high quality but if you throw it and not taking good care of it, it will not last long. But LV vacentha u can replace it for life time.. I did change my LV strap at LV. And to be honest with u, Chanel is designed for social elite when it first invented and LV designed for travel..so both have different approaches.. But I love Chanel, because of how it looks and I think it is much worth it to have compare to LV..I sold all of my LV bag and left only 1 my speedy. I love speedy because of it light weight and so roomy, one function bag. I prefer chanel because of the look, more feminine, leather, and worth buying.
