Yeah they might be worried about reseller swooping up a bunch of the same items. I was getting the Slender & Clemence wallets for my friends and thought of getting one for myself since it was 17% cheaper than in London, but the SA said only one male wallet and one female wallet allowed per passport [emoji17] (then she said I could still buy a bag).

I booked an app with a personal shopper at Heathrow last week and she mentioned the 24h re reserving items. She also said that if they were LE items, she could check if she could reserve them a week before instead. Then again, as per your experience @chlamy this might have changed by now! But anyway, I won't be at Heathrow until December so a lot of things can happen but I will keep you updated.
If you're flying outside the EU you can buy duty free LV offer 17% rather 20% off. You would need to make an appointment with the personal shopping team at Heathrow and you can do that on the Heathrow/duty free web site, you do need to be spend over a certain amount but if you're wanting to visit LV I can't imagine that being a problem
Anyone know what this amount is? I'm sure it won't be an issue but I'm just curious, since my mom is going without me. I need to make sure she spends enough.

I remember somebody mentioning something like £300 but i dont know for sure. Perhaps you can email T5 and ask about that?
The strap of my Odeon looks really worn and bad 
. It's my favorite purse and I carry it all the time. I really hate to spend $1100 for a new bag. I can have the strap replaced for around $200, but it will be new light leather next to the dark leather on the purse...I'm scared I will never get the strap to match...I don't know what to do. They told me for $700 I could have all the leather replaced on the entire purse. But my purse is in great condition. Any suggestions? Anyone had parts of the purse replaced? Does it look funny?

I agree, I would just get it replaced and let it patina naturally because it will match eventually.
After about 3 1/2 weeks I got an email from my sales associate at the King of Prussia mall stating that they had my vintage petit noè with new binding (yay!) but the handle was on back order. Less than a day later, they had the handle and were shipping the bag back to me. I received her yesterday and I could not be more pleased. I know some people don't like old and new patina together but I honestly don't mind. My bag is from the 80s and now I get to put my own experiences and patina into it. The cost of the new handle was $90, and the cost for the binding was $60. I was surprised to find out that the handle is an "in house" replacement meaning the stores usually have them in stock but for some reason they were back ordered and coming from France. Here are some photos! [emoji4]
Yes ...unless you ask kindly and you find a wonderfull male SA. I did and got a brand new lock for free. The one of my one month old speedy B was awfull, aready discoloured and sort of "dark yellow" compared to the other pieces of hardware. He just handled it to me and told me "enjoy your purse". In the past I had some problems with LV CS (repair service) but recently they have been really cooperative and kind. [emoji3]
All the best.
Hello everyone! I just purchased a vintage Louis Vuitton speedy 25. Everything looks amazing, minus the zipper pull and the side tab. Would any of you happen to know how much it'll cost to have these 2 items fixed in the US? Thank you in advance!

I'm
Looking to purchase a vintage large noe and want to replace all of the vachetta. Did you get a quote for the side pieces of vachetta on your bag or the bottom. I know mine is larger so it would be more but I'm just curious. I'm trying to decide if the $300 price for the bag is worth it.
