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.

I have just been recently quoted for a full vachetta replacement for my speedy 25 but it was misquoted as a speedy 30. The full vachetta replacement is still $600.

Good to know, thank you for the information. Earlier today, I stopped by my local LV boutique and let my CA know that I‘ll be bringing the Speedy in for repair.
