I think the price you're charged is determined by where you're going. The tag showed the price with VAT, then the two prices. Or the VAT price is the EU price. There's two prices basically.
Since I was leaving the EU, I got charged a lower price. I do remember seeing two prices. It's a little confusing, but in the end what i bought is tax free.
Sorry to confuse anyone, but basically if you are flying out of T5 and out of the EU you should get your item tax free.
Omg... I had the lining and the top strip redone on my GM bucket done about 2 years ago and it was $125.00 ...[emoji47] that is quite an increase
When did it change that they will now do transfers between terminals, I'm travelling from T3 in a few weeks.
Anyone know how far back they replace things from speedy? Like will they still do it on a 1991?
I think so, i have heard about people changing the vachetta on bags from the 80s
I really hope so. Just pulled the trigger on a 91 speedy. She says no tears on canvas or damage. Vachetta looks a bit dark but not too much. Paid 180.00 hoping to bring it back to life. I bought it because as much I love the look of speedy not sure if the bag is 100% me. If I wear ir for a while, I'll pull the trigger on a new DE.
That is true I had the vachetta changed on my vintage bag that was made in the very early 90's or late 80's as long as the canvas is in great condition I don't think you will have a problem.
Hi, this is my first post on tpf, although I have lurked for a long time. I noticed the recent post on the monceau pocket lining repair questions. Mine also has peeling in the pocket. Next time I go to the mall, I will bring it with me and see what they say.
I don't think I would spend 200 or more on a repair to the pocket. I would rather save up and use it for a new bag. Really I am horrified at some of the quotes given on this thread for price and the time that it takes to get a repair completed. I can understand that if something has to be sent away it will add some weeks to the time, but once the item is at the repair shop, why should the repair take months to complete?

They don't transfer the item, but you can travel to T5 by shuttle if you give yourself enough time. They will also arrange to have a personal shopper pick you up and take you there once you have passed through security - you need to be there 3 hours before your flight. If you book a personal shopper you are required to spend at least £300 - very easy to do at LV!

LV does actually allow the transfer of an item to another terminal with a personal shopper. You have to pay for the item 1 week before your flight and then authorise the store to give it to the PS to bring to you in another terminal. I did this in April.
Good luck I hope you find what your looking for

Wow - I was in touch with customer service frequently before my flight and not once did they mention this!! I would have much preferred to do this than go to T5
Thanks so much for this information!
