Question re: LV repairs & cracked canvas — is my bag a lost cause?

[chiclawyer]

I was about to send my Montsouris GM to LV for a full leather replacement when I noticed two teensy cracks in the canvas. They’re extremely small, barely visible to the naked eye. I know LV generally won’t repair bags with cracked canvas, but I’ve heard of certain exceptions depending on size and location of the cracks. Do you think I should still send my Montsouris to LV to see if they’ll go ahead with the leather replacement, or is it a lost cause? Pics attached for reference.

I admit I don't really have experience with this, but I would still send it because 1) the crack isn't where the canvas attaches to the leather, and 2) as you said, it's pretty small, so they may not even notice. Worse case scenario is they send it back to you unaltered right?

That’s what I’m thinking/hoping, too. Fingers crossed it works out!

If there is a crack in the canvas LV will not repair the bag. However, your cracks are so minor they might not notice it. It wouldn't hurt to try.

I agree that it's worth a try, as they might not see it. Good luck!

Were you ever able to take this in to see if it they would repair ?? They refused my Sac Shopping due to a 1/8 inch canvas tear near the strap. I was asking to have the straps refurbished..
