is it possible to get the leather replaced on an older version of a bag? what about a discontinued bag? would it cost more since the bags are no longer in production?

thanks!

Yes, it is possible as long as the canvas or leather is good condition and it is something they can replace they will. I had my Alma bag completely redone because the side of my St. Cloud bag was hard they said they could not do it but they are replacing the strap. Both bags are more than 20 years old. I think the prices depends on how much they have to do to get it apart. If you take it in they will give you an estimate. Hope this helps.

Also, the leather doesn't even have to be in good condition because it's replaceable (as long as it's a canvas piece/epi (the handles and such can be replaced on an epi piece, the epi itself cannot be replaced), i'm not sure about the other leathers

You can get discontinued bags repaired, and I don't think it would change the price. As long as you have a good relationship, you can apparently get free repairs (That's what I've heard on here) because they seemingly make up the repair costs on the spot.

Please tell me how to get a free one I have always paid. I am usually very nice I did ask for a dust bag the last time I was in LV and the first SA told me they don't carry extras. When I pushed a little she said she would look and then never did. Fortunately, I was talking to another SA and asked her she asked to see my wallet (just to make sure I had one, which is fine I understand) and immediately went to the back and got me one with no problem. I would love to know I have a Saumur bag that I will be taking soon and could really use the information. Please let me know. Thanks

Many people have personal Sales Associates that they always buy from, so over time they develop a friendship and apparently you can get some free repairs, or that's what happened to some people on here at least.

okay, I see. I should have kept that SA's card. She was really nice. I had one that I used most of the time for my repairs at the time I did not and she did not offer. I will have to pick one and stick with them. Thank you for the information. I will start early so when I take it hope I can get someone willing to help. Wish me luck.

I am currently thinking about purchasing a pre loved Chantilly MM. It's in good condition except for the buckle strap, it's basi holding on for dear life! I'm getting the bag at a decent price but I'm not sure if it's worth it with the strap almost ripping off. My question is, how much would I pay to get it repair?

Almost the price of the brand new keepall.
Usually, to change all the leather on a bag, it's about 2/3 of the price of the bag.

For the Totally MM DE: one of the hanldes was peeling, although a minor defect, the workorder showed that it would have cost $455 CAD to repalce both hanldes. Thankfully no charge since I only had the bag for less than a month :sweatdrop:
