Repair/Replacement Costs - List

Thanks for the response. These aren't folding marks and I'm not able to flatten the canvas (or come close to it at all). It definitely was not straight when the piping was reattached.

I'm going to take it back to the store tomorrow. My SA is a super nice guy and I have generally had great experiences working with him so hopefully he will do the right thing here.

Good decision. It needs to be done right. Your SA should not give you any pushback, but what a hassel! If they come back and say that is the best they can do, try fighting for a credit voucher so you'll get reimbursed for the bag for the amount it last sold for. You can then use that voucher to get something else. If that is the BEST they can do, they should not expect you to just say, ok thanks and settle. Your canvas was NOT that way when you sent it in, so why should you accept that when they returned it? You shouldn't. If anything reimburse the $400 you paid as it is not done correctly. Keep us posted. I hope it all works in your favor

I just picked up my LV Palk Macassar Backpack from the boutique after getting the bottom piping replaced @ $390. I received the bag with several wrinkles in the canvas (back side, near the replaced piping) that weren't there prior to the repair.

My SA said that it should even out, and to carry it around with something heavy in it to stretch the canvas faster.

Obviously I am not thrilled to have the bag returned with the canvas worse off than before I repaired it. Does anybody have a suggestion as to what I should do to fix the issue, or should I go back to the store and ask for it to be re-repaired?

Honestly this is unacceptable.

Brought my Neverfull last November 2023 for handle replacement . So they replace 2 handles, 2 side straps, and edge of the bag . Total of 5 parts. It’s $160. Or $180 Per segment. I was told by my SA that it will take 8 to 12 weeks . But was so happy to get it within 3 weeks I guess.

so was it $160 x 5? = $800? I think I replaced one side strap of Neverfull several years ago was $80 or $90

Hi there! Has anyone done a full vachetta replacement in the USA recently with LV for their Speedy 25 Classic and the Petit Noe? If so, can you please share the total cost and perhaps the cost of each part if it's not too much of a hassel. Thank you so much.

I sent my dear friend's original Speedy 25 in after her dog made a snack out of the vachetta tabs. The price they quoted to repair the tabs was around $275. I was shocked. I figured it would be better to change it all out, so I let them replace all the leather - handles, tabs, (all vachetta) was in total just under $500. I did this for her as a gift, as I knew she would never do it herself. She actually thought I bought her a new bag when it was returned to me. It's pricey, but it was worth the look on her face, as she is my closest friend. At the time it was taking them 6+ months to do the replacement. I brought it to the store Feb 2023 and they called me in Sept 2023 to pick it up.

You're a great friend! What a nice thing to do.

Wow that is not a bad price at all. It's less then I expected. Did that include the piping around the bag as well? What a dear friend you are. You both are blessed to have each other.

What size Neverful? In December 2023 I was quoted $90/100 for the top leather piece that tends to crack. I remember her telling me a price for handles, it was also cheap, but I don't remember the price.

Yes, everything, every piece of vachetta with the exception of the piece around the interior pocket. I believe prices may have gone up a bit from a a year ago, but still cheaper than a brand new 25.

Hi everyone,
Can someone who has had their vintage bucket GM or PM lining replaced by LV tell us if the lining material is leather or leather-looking PVC or canvas?
Thanks

Quoted $1460 to get all the vachetta replaced on my mini speedy HL. I noticed that it was being labeled a nano speedy on the online request. I called to clarify but they said that the mini speedy HL is the same repair price. Has anyone recently gotten their mini speedy HL repaired? This price seems steep as it will cost more than a new speedy nano when I add the bag cost and repair cost.
