Repair/Replacement Costs - List

[roshe]

All new leather for my Speedy 25 was about $580 dollars. It took exactly 5 weeks. It looks so good.

Your 25 looks so good. Do they check if you bought it from them or ask for a receipt?

Hi guys I'm travelling from T3 to Dubai what's the process to get to the LV store in T5? I really want to make a purchase ! Is the personal shopping chargeable or minimum spend?

Thank you !

Sorry you had to go through that. There's a reason LV doesn't sell 'vachetta protector'. The natural patina is all the 'protection' you need.

You are so right. I was new to TPF and LV, so I succumbed to vachetta paranoia! That was the first time I had spent a lot of money on a bag, so I got sucked in.

Aww thxs- I love cats! Some people have no luck with LMB too. I have had success with it. Maybe you do the patina champ method (if u really want to do something to avoid water marks) which I haven't heard anything bad about (if u like patina). There is a whole thread on it in TPF.
Truthfully though when I got my NF in 2012 brand new I didn't know anything about treating it so I didn't. It looks great with no watermarks or stains and it did get a few drizzles of rain on it which just dried right up. So maybe u just let it be. Sorry u had to go through this costly ordeal....

Thanks Kitty! I'm a huge cat lover too! Yes, it seems some members have great experiences with leather cleaners/conditioners. I do know a bit about the patina champ method, though I've never used it.

I just dropped off my 2012 Neverfull MM in mono at the store this morning, to have all the leather replaced (top trim, both handles and both side straps). The total is estimated to be $400 and she told me it'll take about 4-5 weeks, usually sooner.

You got a better quote than me! I was quoted $480 (around $500 with tax). Maybe mine will come sooner than 6-8 weeks. We'll see!

If you have a relationship with an SA, they won't check.

They didn't ask. It's from 1996 so maybe they don't have records that go back that far. I've bought other things so I'm in the system for those.

I just got a preloved deauville, and it's perfect except that the stitching on one of the elastic bottle holders has come loose/barely hanging on. I was thinking of getting it repaired later, but was wondering if anyone ever had a minor repair (prob not minor to LV) like a stitch or even had this actual repair done and how much is it and does it get sent off for weeks to be stitched. Here's a pic.

This type of hardware won't be very expensive to repair.

Oh!! Really?? I hope you are right Thanks so much for your help. Do you have any idea about around how much it could be?

No. Only the store SAs will be able to quote you the right price for your specific repair.

I have a totally pm and the handles are badly soiled from sunscreen. Can they be saved or do they need to be replaced?

I would try a cleanser and magic eraser. If it can't be saved that way then yeah, ur gonna have to replace.
