I received a quote today to repair my 1998 Cabas Alto. She’s been a workhorse and I am pretty rough with my bags. :smile:
All exterior leather (chaps, shoulder straps, entire bottom part) $720, and replacing lining $120. I am happy that I will practically have a new bag for $840.

UPDATE:
Just received my Cabas Alto back from repairs today, 7/27/21. I sent it 4/22/21. Only took them THREE months! I was told that the bottom piece had to be made in France, so they were waiting for that. Not sure if that is really the case, but she is back now. Yay! Here are some before and after pictures.

This looks great! I'm waiting on my delightful to come back from LV and having all the leather replaced, so looks like it might take a while. It will be around $600, but seems like it almost is like getting a new bag.

Thank you! It’s definitely like getting a new bag. My heart skipped a beat when I opened the box even thought it’s just my good old girl coming back home. :amuse: LV even put her in a really nice white box (kind of like the orange box, but in white, with magnetic closure an all) and also a new dust bag. :heart::heart:

So excited for your Delightful. I’ve always admired that bag. Show us some pictures when you get her back. :smile:
 
Would like to know any repair experience for the speedy mini HL as well! I know 100% LV replaces the vachetta handles (someone I knew got her mini HL handles replaced for 700AUD last year)

but wondering if they do that for piping?
