After changing the D rings, I put a protector to prevent the rubbing like last time. It's not the prettiest look but I chose to do it anyway cos the replacement D rings are not cheap.Only question left will be: Is it worth at all to change the hardware as it will get horrible again with use
I just dont get why I cant order the better shiny gold hardware as used on premium leather speedys - even if I would pay extra for it.Once I asked CS, no chance…. Sometimes I dont understand LV‘s policy…

hmmm.. it actually don't look that bad .. not a bad idea.. where did you get this protector?
Great idea! But doesn‘t it slip when used so that the carabine „slides through the spirals“ and scratches the D-ring anyway? Does it hold?
Then I will get those protectors too!
No it doesn't slip. The fit is tight and snug on the D ringsGreat idea! But doesn‘t it slip when used so that the carabine „slides through the spirals“ and scratches the D-ring anyway? Does it hold?

I just received this quote to change all the leather on a montsouris MM - 6- 8 months 
you can request a repair on the app and within a few days get a quote. i just received a quote to replace all the leather on a Montsouris Backpack MM. it was $840 and turn around time is quoted at 6-8 months (sigh)
The amount is correct. That is what they quoted me too. I put mind in for repair back in September 2021, and they haven't call me for pick up yet. I haven't check with either.I just received this quote to change all the leather on a montsouris MM - 6- 8 months

oh, sorry, to clarify, i am totally ok with the quote, just the timeline made me sad. I can just look on the bright side and say it will be a christmas present
Hi, just came across your post. Did you have your clasp replaced? What was the reason for you wanting to replace it? Is it in bad condition or is it not latching well? Just an FYI, I had the clasp on 2 favorites (DA and DE) replaced for free because the magnetic clasp didn't hold well.
Does anyone know How long it has taken to get a reply after you submit a repair request online?
I own a classic Speedy 35, it was my first LV and a Xmas present, way back when I was in college. Over time, the brass tabs have tarnished and oxidized onto the vachetta chaps, sadly. Last summer, I took the bag into my local LV boutique for a repair estimate. It was around $600 USD or so to have the brass tabs replaced, along with the vachetta chaps, handles and piping. Essentially all of the vachetta leather would need to be replaced if I wanted a uniform coloring of it. At the time, I opted not to have the repair done as otherwise, the monogram canvas and interior are in most excellent condition. Plus, the repair cost would have exceeded half the cost of a new Speedy 35, at the time. Given the new LV price increase for the Speedy, I’m probably now going to opt to get the bag repaired if the new repair estimate doesn’t exceed $700 USD, accounting for inflation.
