Repair/Replacement Costs - List

[designer1]

Soooo, the SA from the Bloor Street store in Toronto, just called me with a quote to replace the entire bottom of my Noe GM, bottom panel, as well as the band of vachetta that goes around near bottom of bag. $ 300 CDN ($230 US). I was thinking it would be more, so I am pleased. No charge for shipping the bag back to me he said.

Hello. Does anyone know the cost of having the lining of the monogram compact zip wallet replaced as it is peeling? It dates back to 1999.The canvas and cross grained leather are in great condition. View attachment 4129308

So I stopped by Louis Vuitton store yesterday and the SA gave me an estimate of $210. The piece is almost 20 years old so that weighed in on the cost as well since this wallet is not in their collection. Is that normal for them to quote you more due to the age of a piece? The rest of the wallet is in impeccable condition so that is the only reason why I am willing to pay that much. But I just wanted to know in the future.

Sounds like a normal price for changing the lining of this wallet.

Does anyone know the cost in Australia for the handles on an Alma monogram pm please? I did email LV here but they said they would need to see the bag first , which is fair enough but I just want a rough idea of the cost to see if it is worth it . Mines rather be old but in good condition except the handles have started cracking . Thank you

Thank you so much, dear.

I need to get the zipper fixed ASAP but I’m scared that it would cost too much for a tiny little thing. Does anyone know the specific price?

I couldn't tell from the picture but is it just missing the pull? That's usually replaced for free.

The replacement of two handles on a GM montaigne empreinte is €200.

I have been looking into vachetta cleaning options and found a local spa that has had amazing results with their patina cleaner. They sell their cleaner for $98 CAD. Apparently a little goes a long way because you can clean 10 bags with one bottle. Pictures on their Instagram luxebagspa look amazing! Hope this works for me because then i can stop avoiding bags with vachetta!

I don’t know if this has happened to anyone else, but the corner on the plastic protector on the front plate of my Favorite MM was kind of lifted when i bought it and when i removed it there was some discolouration under the plastic. Went to LV but they can’t figure out what it is but don’t think it’s a defect. Unfortunately that means I’ll be paying out of pocket to fix it myself . So, in case anyone else is looking to replace the plate on their Favorite MM (under magnetic closures in their system), it is $76 CAD.

Dear experienced Louis Vuitton lovers!
Over the last couple of weeks I’ve started noticing the wear on my LV Speedy B 30 Damier Ebene. The particular issue here is the hardware. Attached you can find all the pictures. The wear is clearly visible. What’s worrying me, however, is the fact that I’ve had the bag for only 1 year and 3 months. It has been purchased in early June 2017 in the Marbella boutique in Spain.
Have any of you experienced such problem with this particular item? Do you know what could be done about it?
I’ve contacted one of the nearby stores and have been informed that under the EU law I can make a claim based on the 2-year warranty. The SA told me that there are couple of possible outcomes, including an exchange of the hardware, or even the entire item. However, there is also a possibility that nothing will be done at all. Appartently it all depends on the decision coming from Paris.
Have any of you gone through such process and know what is the reality od such claims?
Moreover, do you know how long it takes for LV to issue and exchange or perform the repair?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Most of the times LV is quite generous with offering replacements or repairs, it can take 6-8 weeks to repair a bag under normal circumstances. Maybe you can ask the repair specialist at your store if they can send pictures to Paris so they can give you an idea on what is going to happen with your bag.

Hi Everyone!

I hope you can help me with my dilemma on my LV bag.

I have a Louis Vuitton Sevres Mahina in Galet had it for a year already. I’ve use it maybe for 8-10 times already and I noticed scuffing on the corners. Is there anything I can do to remove or make it look less? I’m not sure if this is common with Mahina leather. Please if you have any advise let me know. Or if Louis Vuitton will repair/help me with this? Thank you!!

It’s just normal wear and tear. Corner wear is a pretty typical issue with soft leather bags. Not much Louis Vuitton can do for you.
