Take your bag to your local Louis Vuitton and they will assess it and give you a personalized quote for the repair. They have to see the bag before they can give you a quote.

How was your repair? Planning the same changes (top, bottom, sides and lining) since I get to OC thinking it is old lining. Pls share when you’re done
Canadian YVR newbie here. I took my 1998 speedy 35 on for a facelift and received a quote for the following:
$36 zipper pull
$76/end tab
$600 for both handles + 4 chaps
~$400 for both piping
Total ~$1200. New is $1400.
I decided to only get the pull and 2 end tabs replaced.
The SA was nice enough but essentially told me not worth it. She said I should put my $ into a new bag and sell my well loved (but in pretty good condition) Speedy at a local consignment store. I think she wanted to earn a commission from me. I’ve bought a few things from them over the years but this is the first time I took an old piece for “repair.” I’ll update this thread when I get my bag back and what the final cost is.

Does anybody know if you can receive the tax-free price if you are flying to Switzerland or Norway?
Also, is the tax-free price still around 17% or the full 20% of british VAT?

Hi
Yes you get the discount if you’re going to both countries. Divide the amount by 1.2.
I have a contact at T5 if you’re interested.
I am still waiting to hear from quality if they are able to repair. My SA advises they must check every hole as they restitch the monogram canvas in the same spot so it must be sturdy. I also think I would like a new lining, but that would bump the repair up to $990. I wouldn't mind so much, except that my SA says it is not possible to have LV add metal feet like the new models. So I am on the fence and will have to consider how to proceed....How was your repair? Planning the same changes (top, bottom, sides and lining) since I get to OC thinking it is old lining.

My speedy repair for all the leather was $540 US. I’m wondering if she was looking at the wrong page when quoting.
Hi everyone I'm new here. I bought a pre-owned Ellipse Shopping (I love the shape and strap length of it) however I noticed that the chaps were dry and cracked badly and it could break soon and the straps are starting to crack too. I took it to a local bag restoration shop and waiting to get it after 4-5 weeks. Do you think replacing the vachetta with their cowhide leather will make my bag less valuable, financially speaking? Just wondering.
Yes I think so, when others repair the bag LV no longer offers any repairs to the item. For lots of people this would make the bag less valueable.
Thank you for this. Just wondering for if ever I would resell it at some point. I guess I'd rather have it lowered in value than be unable to use it just because I want to keep the brittle leather. I was a bit hesitant to take it to LV because it's an old model that was discontinued a long time ago and might not be worth it if I ask them to repair it for me
Hi all, I searched this thread but I could not find the cost of replacing all the outside leather (including bottom and straps) of a Montsouris MM. Can anyone share how much you paid for similar repair?
Btw I am from Singapore; so I am expecting it will be more expensive here. Thanks
