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.

Thanks for the info. I have a Deauville and had seen your original post, glad you followed up.

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" :smile:

In the grand scheme of things $400 is a great price for what becomes a brand new Neverfull MM... but I have to wonder why there is any discrepancy in pricing on so many repairs. We're talking a $90 difference for the same repair, same size bag. To me that's significant.

Mmmm...strange, indeed!
I assumed there was a set price list for every replacement parts because my SA asked what parts I wanted to replace and typed in the computer and came out with the total cost. I remembered she specifically asked how old my bag was, could that make any price difference??....another Louis Vuitton mystery!
Another thing I want to clarify is my total out of pocket cost is $400, no tax added.

I thought so too as for my repairs they went to a book using the model # and give the price (unless it's a non standard repair- then they send it off for a proper quote).
$400 US is a great price imo to make ur bag like new.

I just picked up my repaired Montsouris GM. Had the bottom replaced. I have mixed feelings about the repair center. When I got my bag back, there were black marks on the leather straps which the SA used a white eraser to remove and some scrapes on the old leather. Before sending it I cleaned it up so I know every inch of the bag. Next issue, which bugs me more is that they did not take the time to line up the pattern on the bottom back portion of the backpack which I don't know how that is possible if they use the same stitch holes as I was told. So the pattern is a bit lopsided. I am happy that it's on the back but really for $400 they should have taken the time to line it up the way it was originally.
The original bag was lined up perfectly so if they used the same holes to restitch then it should have come back looking the same. I'm really trying to be happy about it but feel like I am settling by telling myself at least it's on the back and it could have been worse.
Here are the pictures of the bag- the bottom is not lined up the same. I won't be returning this as I think it will only compromise the canvas more on my 21 year old bag and I may end up with cracking if they try to re do this.
I have a survey that they sent me and I will be sure to send these pics and mention this. IMG_1500766036.474597.jpgIMG_1500766075.209123.jpg
