Thanks so much I was looking for this info. I'm looking to buy a vintage large noe and want to replace all of the leather. My only concern is if there is any tears in the canvas underneath the top leather trim of the bag they won't do the repairs.

Hello,
I just got a vintage trocadero in very good condition except for the interior and exterior pockets. Do you know how to remove the sticky lining ? Do you know if LV can redo the pocket ? The seller told me it was very common for old pieces to have this problem. I had it authentificated, so no doubt
I'm sorry for all the questions and if there's already a topic for that.
Thanks
Also check out the Rescue club house thread. You'll see that many members clean off the stickiness with mild cleaner or acetone. Of course, you have to be super careful and only do it if you don't intend to bring it back to LV for service in the future because once you try to fix something on your own, they will no longer touch it. Good luck!
Hello everyone, so I have "inherited" a montsouris gm backpack and had my loving husband brought it to Louis vuitton at Michigan Ave here in Chicago to have it evaluated for the replacement of its leather parts during his lunch break. I called several times but as most of you guys mentioned here, they want to see the bag to be repaired for estimates. Here is what the great SA wrote with his business card..
(Not sure if its okay to post a business card here, moderators, kindly remove it if it's not allowed)
I called him for the clarifications like the leather lace is a separate cost from the $770 leather replacement and that's the exterior leather parts only. I asked him if they are going to re stamp the date code but he wasn't sure and told me that he'll contact the repair department about it. He also forgot to write the price for the trimming/binding and when I asked him, he said it's around $200-300 which I think probably wrong base on what other posted here...I emailed him too because my priority to be replaced for now are the base leather of the bag, the binding and just the front strap (except the leather where the buckle closure is in because that's where the date code is) and would really like to have the right estimate..hopefully it will not go beyond $500[emoji16] He replied right away and he added these questions to his email to the repair department. Hopefully I'll be able to get the cost so I can give the go signal to my dearest husband. Btw, this was yesterday so it wasn't that long[emoji6] The SA seems like a really nice guy[emoji1360]

So finally I got the estimates for the replacement of the leathers of my montsouris gm:
Locking strap leather(buckle part not included) =$90
Locking strap with the buckle part = $120
Trimming/ binding= $60
Bottom leather of the bag =$270
Leather straps =$120
Lace=$60
If all exterior leathers will be replaced, it will cost $770 plus $60 for the lace of the bag.
If the date code is stamped on the leather where the buckle is, they will not re stamped the date code which I think makes sense because it will not have it's original leather anymore when it was made.
Joshua, my client specialist advisor, is so awesome and really replied to all my inquiries and pretty quick.
I hope these will help you guys out. Have a blessed and wonderful weekend.

Yes, I am but decided not to go for all the leather replacement. I really would like to keep the leather where the date code is so hopefully the result will still be awesome[emoji4] My dearest husband will be downtown next week after Thanksgiving so that's when he will be bringing the bag[emoji6]
Hi! Two corners of my wallet have glazing coming off. Anyone know how much it would cost to repair?
How old is your wallet?
Less than one year old, it will likely be a free repair.
The date code is SD0040 so I'm assuming that's April 2000 so then it'll definitely not be free. I wanted to know what price I should expect to get the two corners repaired.
It's not very expensive but it depends on the actual model. Take it to your store and they will quote you the exact repair price. Usually they reglaze the entire wallet. Expect the process to take up to 6 weeks.
Hi fabuleux! Had a question for you - if LV has a price increase do the repair costs go up as well?
Repair pricing also evolves. It does not necessarily follow the same retail price increase schedule though.
