Haven't read the complete thread over again to find the answer to my question but does LV repair key cases?
I have a vintage mono 4 ring and it needs to be restitched and reglazed. Will they do that? and what does it run approximately. I would like the inside leather replaced but I doubt that they do that.
TIA

Yes, they will likely restitch and reglaze unless the item is considered too damaged (the store will tell you). Even if changing the leather is an option, it would likely cost you more than a new key case.
If you get a quote, keep us updated!
Thanks, I tried to post pics but they were gigantic!I would take it in but sadly the closest LV is 4 hour drive there and back and no trip planned any time soon. It is not in bad condition for a 20 year old key case. It has just been used and loved and the stitching has failed on all 4 corners, where it folds. Just checked and since it is only $205 new I may try my hand at reglazing it myself. If it fails I will just buy a new one, lol, I think at $10 a year it would be a good investment

Haha yes! I like your perspective! 😜
I dropped off several repairs at my local LV store this Friday, and these were my charges:
Reline interior of Bucket GM = $150
Change all sliders/zipper pulls ($0) + new handle on Looping GM = $90
Change slider/zipper pull on Pochette Marly B = $0
Change hook/chain/slider on Cles Monogram = $0
Change all 4 rivets of Chelsea DE = $30/rivet, but my SA put it in as $0 hehehe
To top it all off, I asked to purchase a DE luggage tag for my Speedy B 25, and my SA gave it to me FREE OF CHARGE! (Normally $65-70.) He hot-stamped it and packaged it nicely in a box w/ dust bag and ribbon. He even gave me a larger dust bag so I wouldn't have to store my Speedy folded.
All in all, I would say it was a very successful trip!

Luggage tags are often used as gifts because they are not a "real" item (it's ordered as a repair part). In general, LV only gifts specially made items (like the so-called VIP gifts or repair parts). My SA just gifted me a luggage tag in the DC leather this week to go with my new bag.
I think it's very smart of Louis Vuitton to gift these little tags. It makes clients feel a bit more "special."

me too! I want your SA, please!Yes, very good CR!!!!
This Noe has some scuffing that I'm wondering if it can be treated. I have read about olive oil... What about a leather conditioner? Will this just take care of itself with time and more patina?
Also woukd I be able to smooth out some light water spots with a damp cloth?
I read above that repairing the entire vachetta bottom could cost close to $700 in store...

Yes, some water spots can be evened out with water and a damp cloth if done carefully.There are lots of threads on this subject, just do a quick search, or visit the LV rescue club. I would advise against olive oil as it darkens vachetta. Try buffing with Apple leather conditioner instead. Hope this helps! [emoji3]
I don't know what store you would be going to, but mine quoted me $660 to get every single piece of leather on the Noé replaced. That price is also up-to-date. About 4 weeks old.
Hey Guys, I'm planning to get the Christopher PM Backpack in Monogram Massacar at Heathrow. However, the only available one was in Damier Graphite. I will be heading to singapore for a day. Will I be able to exchange the Backpack I bought in Heathrow for the same backpck but in Monogram in singapore? And if i exchange it, will they charge me the singapore price or will they just simply exchange the backpack without any addidtional charges?
I would not use Olive Oil it will go rancid and smell. I do not think there is anything wrong with that bottom that a good condition and clean would not fix.
Clean it with Dawn 5x dishwashing pump cleaner and condition it with Blackrocks.
Thanks! I was quoting this based on a forum thread on here in my search to find out what other people have done to repair vachetta. That quote was a few years old so assumed it would be even more now. Good to know your quote as well! Thank you!
