That's a great price!
They may ask you for your info to look you up in the system but if you don’t have a receipt, that’s usually okay. Unless the pouch has severe damage (like cracked canvas), the repair request should go through after the SA inspects the item. Although, keep in mind that Louis Vuitton can always refuse a repair request. Not sure about the price but that looks like a reasonably cheap repair.Hi, I bought a vintage Toiletry 26 from eBay, it’s from the 1980’s, I was trying to clean the vachetta tab but it’s too old, it was almost black when it arrived, I cleaned it with baby wipes and a white eraser (a tip from MonsieurAshley from YouTube), but I don’t really like how it looks.
Does anyone knows if LV can replace the vachetta tab? Or how much would it cost? I’ve never tried the repair service at Louis Vuitton, do they ask for proof of purchase?
Thank you!

How old is the bag?Hi, I just bought a preloved GM Noe, the bag is still in very good condition, aside from the handle. Can this still be fixed? View attachment 4176286
If the Épi leather is no longer available in this color, they won’t be able to replace this leather loop.Its from 1995.
When you say white eraser, do you mean a white pencil eraser? I’ve seen a few comments on other threads about using it, but wasn’t sure if it’s a special kind of product, or an actual pencil eraser.Hi, I bought a vintage Toiletry 26 from eBay, it’s from the 1980’s, I was trying to clean the vachetta tab but it’s too old, it was almost black when it arrived, I cleaned it with baby wipes and a white eraser (a tip from MonsieurAshley from YouTube), but I don’t really like how it looks.

Yes, a white pencil eraser. You have to first clean the vachetta with an alcohol free baby wipe, wait till it dries, and then gently rub the vachetta with the eraser, and then clean it again with the baby wipes. It’s very easy.When you say white eraser, do you mean a white pencil eraser?

Update: I took it to LV my SA looked at it, it is now sent to be repaired, price quotation was 60 dollars.If the Épi leather is no longer available in this color, they won’t be able to replace this leather loop.
I am also a newbie to this site. I have the same Alma, which I purchased in 2011. No problems with it yet, but I don’t carry it much. I think it is a shame for your bag to peel like that. The bags are a great deal of money. It scary hearing some of the things that have happened to these expensive bags without abuse.Glad to find this forum. I’m a newbie to this site but been lurking and reading a lot from here specifically for LV repairs and these price list made me I have a 3-4 years old Alma Damier and the bottom of my bag is peeling and wanted to get it repair but now I’m wondering if it’s going to cost $300-$400 to repair the bag![]()
