I hope this is the right place to post this. I just got off the phone with LV repair service (I had scheduled an online in-app repair request appointment). I have a trousse 18 that I wanted to replace the zipper. The lady I spoke with quoted me $265 for just the zipper replacement... I told her before I scheduled my appointment, I had watched YouTube videos of those who had the zipper replaced on their trousses and the highest quote I’ve seen so far is $180. She said oh, she can’t tell if the repair service might have to change the interior and I told her the interior is in excellent condition as I had stated and shown in photos when I booked the appointment and that I’ve seen videos of those who had just the zipper replaced and kept the vintage interior. She said the price is still $265 and she’ll send me the quote in in-app and I’ll have 48 hours to accept or decline. I need suggestions. I’m thinking to email LV and see if they’ll review the price quote (if that’ll do anything) or what do you all think? $265 is a lot for just a zipper replacement no? Has anyone had a zipper replaced on a trousse recently? Is this the new price?

What's the point to spend that much money to repair, the item itself selling about that price or lower.

FYI - Price update on replacement parts (November 2022):
I went to the LV store to purchase a luggage tag and a handle holder for my secondhand Keepall 45 in Damier Ebene (brought the bag with me since I don't have the original receipt/order on my file). The luggage tag and the handle holder are 80$ Canadian each. I must wait approx. 2 weeks for them to arrive since they had none available in store.

Unfortunately, that's inflation and what else that's been going on with the world. I went in store to get an all leather replacement done for Montsouris GM, was quoted 1140 in July. I did an online repair this morning for the Montsouris PM and they quoted 1140. This is my last repair. I'm pretty sad about all these increases but I rather get them done now before any more increases. Good luck on whatever you decide to do. Screenshot_20221102_131238_Louis Vuitton.jpg

Dropped off a speedy 25 and speedy 30 for full vachetta leather replacement this afternoon, was quoted $870 each and $45 for replacing the missing zipper pull on the 25. Kinda wish I'd gotten around to sending them off when it was still $600 last year. Oh well, they're both sentimental bags from the early and mid 80s, so I'm fine with it in the long run, and still cheaper than new ones with lesser canvas. ETA is 12 months, we'll see how that goes as well.

I was quoted $840 for all vachetta replacement on a Speedy 40 (on 10/31/22).
I heard this week that another Repair Price Increase is coming this month...

Ooh, thanks for this--my quote was on 11/2, and the manager said it was $840 per speedy when he was helping the SA get my repair set up, and then it came out on the paperwork as $870, which I asked about and was told was the price in the system. The price increase for repairs going through on/around 11/1 would explain the discrepancy from the manager, who corrected himself when I asked before I signed off.

I was quoted today 11/13 $870 to replace all the vachetta leather on a Neverfull pm. I’m hoping they don’t replace the interior pocket I’ve noticed when people send there Neverfulls for repair the pocket is usually replaced

I got a quote today (11/14) to replace all vachetta leather on Neverfull MM for $615. My bag is currently unusable due to crack & peeled handles and lining. Considering they're now 2K, it might be worth it. What do you think?

$2,000 that's if is new bought from store, if your bag is that bad shape inside and out, may not be worth that much money to put in

Does anyone have any experience with how it should typically take to receive a replacement strap for keepall? The SA quoted me 1 week. The website stated 4 days after my drop-off...which I'm sure is way to fast. I'm at 3 weeks and the website still has my repair as "registered in store." I went back to the store and was told to just keep waiting. :confused1:

Howdy! I too was shocked at the zipper replacement quote price. I was quoted $265 for my nomade Lockit zipper. I also needed my round coin purse zipper fixed too, and was also quoted $265. I decided to just get my Lockit fixed. I’ll worry about my coin purse later.
