LV experts, is this fixable???

Very dark...I think baby wipes will help a little bit.
I'd just get the vachetta replaced...or get another Speedy. My SA quoted about 25% for vachetta related repairs. Didn't Jojo pay close to $150 for her Speedy 25 vachetta to be replaced?
 
You can get new handles at LV but I love it when LV handles are worn -even really worn. Sure sets it apart from the fakes. I love seeing someone carrying around a really old LV and you know the bags have been around a long time and withstood the test of time;) Actually I don't like the look of the handles when they are new :yes:
