Repair/Replacement Costs - List

[katieny]

I have a LV bag that I purchased about twenty eight years ago for $350 from an LV store. In the pockets it melted and some of the interior color has gotten on the canvas. I wonder if this purse could be fully restored and how much it would cost. My grandmother, who has passed away, paid for this bag for me, so it has sentimental value.

I have the same bag. I think you can clean the gunk off of the canvas. Some tpfers have had success using Goo Gone to unsticky the pockets. I think you can do a search to find out how they did it.

I picked up my vintage St. Cloud GM that LV changed the strap on. It really looks nice. It will be great when the strap patina's. The cost was $175.00 and it only took about 3 weeks.

OMG! So sorry. Did you try to scrub the canvas with a magic eraser?

Handcream, acidity of PH on your hands.

Why does this not happen to other leather bags from other brands? Is it just the way LV treats the leather?

Are you kidding?
It happens all the time with Longchamp Le Roseau bags and with some Gucci patent leather bags. Any kind of leather that is coated like that is suceptible to peeling. Don't want any peeling? Go for pebbled leathers and avoid patent / mat coated smooth leathers.

Hi someone may have already posted this but my DA neverfull's straps are really dark - alot of it is natural patina but around the tops they look rather dirty (maybe colour transfer onto the vachetta)

Does anybody know how much it is in the UK to have them repaired? also I don't know if I still have the receipt as I bought it in Vegas a number of years ago.

Also could someone enlighten me on the process - do I contact client services???

Hi, lv used to do the straps (the main straps are actually called handles and straps refers to the cinching straps) individually for about £70 but now will only do both and I think it's about £140. If you live near a store, take it in as they are usually very helpful and if you have a good relationship with an SA they may do it cheaper. If not near a store, call CS as they can advise you on how to send it in.

I had my de handles replaced for free as some of the glazing came off (it was under 1 year) and I was thinking of having one of my mono ones done, but my SA gave me all the above details and the system now only allows both handles not just one.

Why can't they just die the vachetta like they do with their Damier cobalt leather? That's what I don't understand.

Well LVMK it sounds like you should become a LV designer!

You must take it or mail it to a store. Louis Vuitton will not give you a quote or tell you if the repair is possible unless they see the item in person.

Hello,
I was wondering if the scratched area of the handle (mini looping) when it touches the canvas, can that be repaired somehow?

Thanks,
Julia

Other than replacing the entire handle, I'm not sure what they can do. I'll be real honest, it is so small and faint that I don't think anyone but you would notice.

+1. I had a hard time finding out what was I looking for here. Your bag is OK!

I can't tell if that's sarcastic or not

Yeah I had a quote and she said for my handles £125 which is good.

I think ill get her done - nothing wrong with the trim but I wonder if I have the handles done the patina will even up quite quickly as I plan on using her in the coming months?
