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

Hello...here are photos at the back of my backpack. They are not lined up, the 2 diamonds with flower inside (it's slightly misaligned). If you didn't mention it, I wouldn't have noticed it but now that I know, it doesn't really bother me[emoji4]IMG_1500843263.228500.jpgIMG_1500843275.973780.jpg

Hi. Thxs for sending me the pics. I am so happy it doesn't bother you. I'm just trying to see if that's just the way the repairs go as far as alignment. I guess I am disappointed that my bag went in looking one way and came out looking another. Thxs again for the pics.

Just a little update if anyone is interested in my backpack repair- I sent the before and after pics to the store. They called and said that they used the same holes and it's possible that the holes were a bit stretched due to age, and that they probably tightened the stitch, hence it's being off a bit- that's the assumption. They said I can drop it back off, for another 8 weeks to be reassessed and if they can do anything they will. I hope they can, without damage (they say they won't touch it if they feel it will be damaged). If the tips are completely gone for all of the flowers I will accept that, that as long as the pattern lines up, at least a bit better and the clips are same height.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that the 2nd time is the charm as I love this backpack.

Hi LV All,

My PL Deauville needs TLC. Anyone here ever had the vachetta around the handle rings or cracked trim replaced/repaired and might know the repair cost? Thinking to replace both handles and all vachetta trim (piping is still okay) so any repair cost info would be appreciated. Also, if anyone could recommend an SA and LV location in LA.

Need zipper replaced on Keepall 45- anyone know the cost for this?

Merci!

Does anyone know if LV will replace the interior of a speedy and can anyone tell me how much it would cost to replace the vachetta on a 35? Specifically the piping. Handles and chaps are good.

Need zipper replaced on pochette, anyone know the cost for this or cost to replace a zipper in general so I know the price range?

Also, if anyone could recommend an SA and LV location in LA.
I'll post prices here from LV SA once I go to the LV store.

Thank you!!

Merci!

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.

I once received a bag back where I had a piece of vachetta replaced. Ended up coming back with an inch long scratch at another part of the old vachetta. Pointed that out and ended up getting the original repair for free.

I mean, I'm not sending in bags to receive them back with banged up vachetta, if anything I'm expecting my bags to come back in better condition, not worse.

The lining is attached to the canvas but it can be taken appart. It's a separate layer. You have to disassemble the bag, but it can be done.

Some bags like speedy, neverfull, noe and keepall don't have lining. The thing you see inside is the back side of the canvas and that's why these bags have binding in the inside and you can see the outside stitching from the inside. Not only it is obvious that these bags don't have lining but also my sa has told me that. If you don't believe ask someone in your lv store.
