So depressed. My Vintage Nile is in otherwise perfect condition, but the strap on one side just fell off today :/. Do you think they would replace the leather on just one side? Anybody got an idea of the repair cost?

Yes they will but I would get the leather replaced on both side. Keep us updated on the quote you get from Louis Vuitton.

Oy I went down last night to Louis Vuitton to have my zippy compact wallet (old model) entire zipper replaced as well as the zipper pull- the price point was 330 dollars. I don't see how that cost is quite high.. I opted to just have the zipper pull replaced in that case , but I was informed they only do that in the case of damage/ but would send off in hopes they repair. The cost of that was free.
I'm just surprised, I'm sure the price is wrong since earlier someone started it cost quite a bit less to have her zipper line replaced on a purse.
Oh well, small vent of mine. [emoji21][emoji51]
 
I had my jnsolite wallet reglazed (Multicolor) and they actually glazed over a white Monogram. I couldn't believe how messy the job was for being out for 5 weeks. They sent it back to have it hopefully repaired, but I don't know how.
Quite upset with the recent repairs I've had returned from Louis Vuitton.. I was sent a survey to my surprise and I noted that the jobs seem to be sloppy when really this is not necessary. I do not mind waiting if quality work will be completed on my pieces

That's a lot of $- but these repairs can be costly. What country are u in? As for the zipper pull, I had mine changed for free in store- took about an hour- they sent ur wallet off for the zipper pull?
I was reading your other post about reglazing and this same wallet took a few months as they had to re do it 3 times! The final time my SA spoke with the repair mgr. I just don't understand how they are so sloppy with the repairs for such a costly item. My repair was free, but still if I were to pay for it, I'm sure it wouldn't be cheap, so I expect an excellent job. In the end I was extremely happy with the job, but it took months and several times to get it done right. I don't mind paying, or waiting weeks for a repair but I expect the job to be done right the first time.

As for where I am located I am in the states- Texas. We don't have any actual LV stand alone stores in a sense in the city I am in, so I visit the LV boutique in Neiman Marcus.
When I inquired initially the SA could not find the model no for the OM Monogram zippy compact, and I attempt to locate it as well- she ended up using the model no for the ebene print and that's the price she stated.

I can't believe it took three months for you! Wow! Mine came back just shy of 5 weeks and I was to pay 120 usd for the reglaze.. but I noticed that right away. Any other color wouldn't have shown as bad but they went right over the white color with the red glaze.
She told me they would overnight it back for repair and would keep me in touch of the process- she also said if they could not fix their mistake they would basically give me an item of equivalent value-- but honestly I don't want that. I just want my wallet fixed. The insolite wallet in Multicolor (Noir/bluet) is not replaceable money wise in my opinion.

I am very happy they were able to repair yours and I am sorry for the wait! I agree as well though- I do not mind waiting or paying for good quality. But the repair look rushed. Hopefully they are able to fix it as they did for you!

Thanks [emoji4]

Good luck with ur repair! I hope they fix it. I loved my OM so I was glad they fixed it properly. I totally understand what u mean when u say it's not replaceable money wise.
 
I saved the leather of the closure buckle because that is where the date code is stamped. I requested if they can just replace small strap keeper on the buckle. My SA noted it on the repair form but they were not able to replace it so when I use it on my newly replaced locking pad here how it looks[emoji38]View attachment 3569098

Hi. Do u think the leather used on the bottom of the bag is of the same quality as the original one? Is it thinner than the original one or is it the same. I was just wondering if the leather has changed over time.
