I'm going to my local LV store next week and am planning on asking to have my speedy and wallet redone where they have worn (speedy's patina is dark and wallet is starting to peel). Has anyone ever had LV in Australia repair their items?
I would be very interested to hear your thoughts (non-oz too) so my jaw doesnt drop when they tell me the price .
peeling cant be fixed. its just wear and tear. you can have the vachetta of the speedy rplaced. try using the search function. a few people have had it done.
Don't worry about trying the bags on. Most people in the store try on heaps of bags without buying something. The SA doesn't make a problem of that. In most Vuitton stores I've been, the SA's are very friendly and offer you tons of advice.
As far as I know, there aren't any price tags on the items, but the SA will give you the price if you ask for it.
iv never been to an LV in australia but the only store iv ever been to that displayed all of the prices was new bond street in england. everyone goes in and asks the prices of stuff, dont be frightened.
i love getting everything out to look at, except in hermes where i feel bad for the SAs who have to re fold all of the scarves when iv played with them.
I have the speedy Cerise and to get the 4 triagles (where the handles are attached) along with the handles, it would cost $120 USD. Just replacing the 4 triangles would cost $50 USD.
I've only been to the ones here in Cali and Hawaii and they never have the prices attached to their items. You have to ask for the prices, but don't be embarassed about it. Remember, we as customers are paying their salaries, by buying their products.
The Melbourne staff in Collins St are really lovely. It's split-level, with the bottom level mainly men's and luggage. Don't be afraid to explore and ask prices. They do have prices in their catalogues on the counter or on the dustbags when they bring the bags out from behind.
