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.
Hello. About the bottom leather that was replaced, I really don't know. I understand your concern because there are a lot of post here questioning the quality of the recent Louis Vuitton bags. Sometimes, I wonder too but there was really no other choice for me because the loops (old leather) for the straps of the bag which were connected to the bottom leather were already breaking because of its age. I also didn't want to have it replaced outside LV because they might mess it up and will void any other repair for the bag at LV in the future.
But comparing to the canvas of my previous louis vuitton speedy 35 dated 2011 and this montsouris gm dated 1995, the canvas of this bag is so much thicker. I ended up selling the speedy and will be keeping this backpack[emoji4]
