Does anyone know if LV will re-line a wallet? I found a DE continental clutch (13 years old) in my drawer, never used, and when I went to look at it and open the long bill pocket, I heard a sickening tearing sound. Apparently the lining stuck together. Now there is damage where the leather pulled apart from one side onto the other.


I realize I am way out of warranty but thought I would ask if anyone knows. I do not even know if LV does this kind of repair. The wallet is otherwise fine and certainly can be used in the current condition. But now I know why most leather good vendors put cardboard or paper in the bill compartment. LV and Hermes do not seem to do this.


Note to self- good idea to put something inert between leather surfaces like acid-free paper or cardboard or plastic when storing.

I was called by my SA about my MC speedy 30 that I dropped of on the 17th of Dec that I wanted to have my handles replaced. What I was told is that with the MC speedy they can not just replace the handles they also have to replace the chaps as well which comes to a total of $455. Any repair done like that they also have to make sure the canvas can sustain it being taken apart since that is what they would have to do in order to change them. So $455 for both handles and chaps. If i wanted to change ALL leather on the MC Speedy 30 it would cost $1400. Keybell is $70 but they've given it to me free several times LOL. I took in my mono speedy 35 and for both handles it will cost $140, piping: $210 and if i wanted all leather replaced it would cost $630. Anyway, so they said they can do any repair on most anything as long as it is approved and the canvas,epi,vernis or whatever it is made of is in good condition. Also, price increases don't affect the repair prices.

Yes the quote price is still correct I just dropped my Speedy 35 off for repair and all leather outside bag was $630 and if I wanted the inside pocket leather replaced it would have been another $110 I just did the outer repair only [emoji41]

Picked up my Speedy 30 yesterday after having all of the vachetta leather replaced. I paid 688.28. Took 3 weeks. However, I do have a question. The tab where the size is marked underneath, does not have the size at all. I called my SA and she says that the new model Speedys are no longer marked with the size. I'm not sure if I believe that or not. Does anyone know? thanks.

Hi everyone,
I have tried to read all the pages of this thread and I don't think that the repair on the Monceau has been mentioned (correct me if I'm wrong).
I have a beautiful vintage Monceau in black epi that is in good condition but I would like to get a new top handle, the one I have now is a bit cracked.
Does anyone know how much that might cost? The handle on the Monceau is in treated black leather.

And also, has anyone heard of Louis Vuitton paint? When I got my Neverfull ebene in a consignment store the leather had a tiny tiny scratch and the owner said that he could fix it with some LV paint. I got it back the next day and you couldn't see the scratch at all.

You could try asking the ladies in the Speedy Gonzalez Clubhouse.

I suppose $688.20 isn't too bad of a deal considering what a new Speedy is running. I have contemplated getting the vachetta replaced on a 1985 Speedy 30 I was so very fortunate to have come across for $20 at a thrift store. Structurally, in superb condition with no damage. Actually quite nice shape for being circa 80's. The vachetta has, of course, darkened and has water spots, but the bag has no damage and barely any wear for being 30 years old to the canvas. The lining is actually in great shape with very little dirt, but someone (for the life of me I cannot understand why!!) made their own "base shaper" out of cardboard and wrapped the cardboard in duct tape....there is now tape residue on the inside of what would otherwise be a wonderful lining. Any thoughts on getting tape residue off of the lining?


Also, did the $688.20 include the piping? I may consider this!

I'm almost 100% sure they replace the piping for you for that price... Also, afaik LV cleans the items when they repair them...

I went to the LV store today to ask about the price of a new handle on the monceau. The SA said that she would need to keep the bag for 4 weeks and send pictures to france just to be able to quote a price. Is this normal?

Can you also ask the price for the lining of the inner pocket? Thank you.

I told the SA that I would think about it, 4 weeks seems as such a long time. But if I do decide to send it in I will ask about the inner pocket but I would guess that they would quote the price for changing the whole inside lining not only the inside pocket

I've had several bags repaired at LV and I have never heard that. They usually quote me right then and there. The bags have taken anywhere from 4-8 weeks for the repair to be done. I will also say in my last several visits to LV the customer service is not what it used to be!
