Prices on relining

[shinymagpie]

Hi
Anyone in the USA had a bucket bag relined lately? Or any rivets done? Just curious as to what these things cost in other countries.
Thanks

Thanks! Was that the big bucket or the small bucket?

I believe it's actually less than that. You should do a search on repair costs here...

Just dropped off my large bucket bag today for relining, they quoted me $160.

It was my well loved large bucket. It came back beautiful and all wrapped up in a draw string sleeper and with a new date code.

Thanks for the information. I had a smaller bucket done recently in Japan. It was under $100 but came back in a flat envelope bag, not a drawstring. It is amazing how good it looked with a new lining.

Hello fellow tPFers! For some reason I cannot start a thread of my own, so this thread addresses the closest topic to mine. I've had my Damier Ebene Speedy 30 since last February (2011). In July of '11 I noticed red threads showing by the corner of my bag where the piping and canvas folds in (not ON the canvas, but between the piping and the canvas fold). I took it to LV and they said the bag was "giving". I said BS so I neatly wrapped my bag up and left it in my closet. Until a few days ago. Speaking of re-lining, I noticed the stitching by the zipper of my speedy to be slanted toward the end! It literally takes a dip the last 4 inches of the stitch line. Also, there are two empty stitch holes underneath one of the stitches. I am convinced this is NOT NORMAL. Someone please lead me in the right direction. I'm supposed to talk to the leather goods manager tomorrow (I already sent her a very lengthy email and sent her extreme close up photos of my problem). Help!!!

:bump: Any more lining stories to share from around the globe?

I just had a gm bucket relined (in the US). It was $155. Also I had a broken rivet (same bag) and that was $40.

:bump: Does anyone have a recent price for GM bucket relining in the UK? I live a 10 hour round drive from the nearest store - it's agony! Does it tend to be the same price regardless of condition since they'd have to replace it all anyway? TIA

I'm curious for those that sent their GM Bucket bags to LV for lining replacement, did they replace with something that isn't going to do the same thing in a few years? $150-$200 is reasonable to have it fixed as long as I don't have to do it again.
