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!

That was what I was thinking, like really 4 weeks to just give me a price? And I also asked if I could get the bag back after the pictures were sent off but no that wasn't possible

I'm new here too but have had a couple bags repaired although it was costly as you say it was better than buying new. I really like some of the vintage ones better. I've posted the first one I had repaired so you can see it will be well worth the wait.

How much did it cost to get the leather replaced and how long did it take? I have an old Alma and I can't decide if I should get the leather replaced. I heard it's very costly.

Hi everyone,
Just some info I gathered today, and figured I'd share... I went into my local LV store here in Orlando, and had them price out an entire exterior vachetta replacement on my speedy 25. Here is the list of prices I received.
Piping- $170 whole bag
Tags on either end- $70 a piece
2 handles- $140 total for 2
The pieces attaching the handle to the bag (I forget the term)- $175 for all 4
Zipper pull- $75
hope this helps!

That's about 1/2 the price of a new Speedy.

I asked my SA about replacing a chape on my ellipse, and she quoted $105 per. Whaaaaa? I wonder if the type of bag changes the price for different replacements?

I think so, some bags aren't worth to repair because of the high cost and that's really sad because they are still good bags that have many years left :(

Has anyone gotten a small-leather good reglazed recently? If so, how much?

If your item is less than a year old its free. And if its more than a year old but in excellent condition it is free. But if you have used the wallet or item constant then they call it normal wear and tear and then there is a charge. I got a wallet reglazed from 2011 and they reglazed it for free because it was in excellent condition. It also depends on the repair manager. Last year I reglazed my Zippy Organizer wallet that was bought in 2007 and that one cost me 140 plus tax.

What to you mean by excellent condition? It's an all-leather wallet so it hasn't really shown any wear yet. (no canvas)

That's what they told me at the store. If your item shows no wear but the glazing. Then take it in. Like I said it really depends on the repair manager and how your relationship is with your SA. If it's less then a year old they shouldn't charge you for the reglazing. But then again it depends on the person you talk to.

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!

The cost was all exterior vachetta. They did not replace the vachetta on the pocket or the tabs underneath. Also, I live in TN where tax is 9.25%, so your price may differ.

That is really not a bad price consider the cost of a new one. I did that with my vintage alma it was around the same price. I really love it. Especially since the new LV quality is not as good (only my opinion).
