No, I haven't tried to use magic eraser - Do you think that would work?


Don't scrub it with a ME... I have just learned that this can actually make the colors on the canvas go away (so it like gets rid of the pattern) because it eats away at the coating. I'm extremely lucky that I haven't ruined any of my bags. Just try scrubbing with baby wipes. DON'T scrub the canvas with a magic eraser. Hope this helps
 
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 must say for being 28 years old it looks to be in good condition on the outside
 
Has anyone had the zipper replaced on an old Toliette bag? I purchased from eBay and didn't realize the zipper was damaged, but it was such a great deal that I decided to keep it anyway. It's in gorgeous condition other than the zipper pulling away from the canvas in one tiny spot. I love that it still has the Eclair pull too. Vintage pieces are usually my favorites, but I always worry that LV won't repair since I'm not the original owner.
 
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?:smile1:
Sorry I've only just seen this now when coming on to the thread - didn't get a notification.

If you do take it in, could you please find out for me how much to get all leather done? I'd like to get new straps and trim. I wonder how long it would take for the new leather to catch up (bag is nearly two and has a lot of patina) I think perhaps I would get the cinchers done at the same time as the bag would look so odd I wouldn't want to use it! Lol

Ahhh ok - I asked about all this

Here goes,

£125 both handles
£61 Top trim, I can imagine the laces won't be too much more over that.

I am the same I dont dare have my handles done coz the trim does not really need changing but I am sure if I protect and sit my straps by the window once I just get the handles done it will blend in well.

I should mention, I would just take it into the store, but the closest one is over 3 hours away from my current location.
 
I took some items in yesterday for repair and here are the costs:

Multicolore Alma main zipper change - 225 euros
Mini Pochette (DE) chain change (broken clasp) - free of charge
+ I ordered a new key holder for Multi Speedy (I had the keys and the leather strap), that was 50 euros
