Hello everyone! I need some help and advice. I bought my LV Damier Azur Speedy 30 back in Spring 2009. Four years later I noticed the piping was coming out so I stopped by Louis Vuitton in NYC to inquire about having it repair. The SA told me don't repair it, it's not worth it and that I should just buy a new bag. I remember thinking he had an agenda just to sell me a new bag . So this bag went into the back of my closet and was forgotten for YEARS. I recently did a huge NYE clean out the closet because I'm having my closet remodeled with custom shelves and drawers. I found this bag again and researched whether it could be fixed. I don't want this bag just sitting in my closet. I found all these reviews and videos about LV's repair service. My dilemma now is, is this worth repairing? Will I pay an arm or a leg? Should I sell it as is and move on? I don't think I have the heart to buy a new Damier Azur.

Do you mind sharing what you decided to do? I am having the same dilemma with my Speedy 25 I bought in 2009. Two corners of my Speedy have piping that have popped out from the leather. :( Did you send yours in for repair?

Hey! I did end up sending my speedy in for repair. I think I posted on this thread the cost, if not I'll try and find my receipt. They said it would take 6 weeks but I got it back in 3. They did a great job and emailed me when it was ready for pick up. If you live in NY go to the Fifth Ave store (but to be honest I only really liked one of the repair agents who was nice andhelpful). My only regret is I didn't repair the leather tabs and handles because the new patina on the piping is so light compared to the rest of the bag. I still haven't used the bag since the repair due to the reason of the mismatched patina. I can send you pictures next week as I'm not home. I'm debating sending it back to replace the remainder but want to know how much it is. I may need to suck it up and use until the patina matches again. Hope this was helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you!! I do live in NYC, so I'll plan to head to the 5th Ave store. I hear you about replacing your tabs and handles. That would annoy me to have that color difference. The piping damage happened to mine not too long after I bought it, so I put the bag away for so long that it's remained light enough to just get the piping fixed. Kind of sad!

Oh good! Then the outcome will look great on your bag once they repair the pipping.

Just to confirm something most everyone already knows:
  • LV replacement Luggage Tag GM: $60
  • LV replacement brass lock: $39
I did have to show the receipt for my Carryall to be able to purchase the replacement tag. I will actually use it on my new-to-me Alizé 24 Heures. The luggage tag that came with it was dented.

What warranties come with a LV Keepall?
Click to expand...
Louis Vuitton does not provide any official warranty on their bags, SLGs, or luggage. However, they will usually provide free repairs or exchange if abnormal wear and tear develops within the first year after purchase. They may also wave repair fees for items older than one year old in some cases (it's at the store manager's discretion).

In case anyone is wondering. Replacing elastic bottle holders in Deauville $190 plus tax Canadian. Even if it's a stitch that's loose they have to replace the entire thing. I guess they have to remove the inner lining and restitch them back in using the same holes so it's a lot of labor.

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.

Update: I picked up my Neverfull this afternoon, so it took about a month and the final cost was as quoted, $400. I am so happy to be reunited with my "old faithful" :-)
