Does anyone know if they would replace one of the handles on an epi speedy and the cost? I'm in England. Thanks x


I don't know the cost but I'm sure it depends on whether its a current or discontinued color.

I'd be interested myself bc I took my Epi Mandarin Speedy on vacation to a harsh climate & am regretting that decision [emoji85]
 
Maybe I'm clueless, but if you replace only a portion of the vachetta on the bag, say a bag that has a substantial patina, wouldn't you have a bag with multiple colors of leather? Or do they match the patina color?

Hi! No you will have different colors on the vachetta but you can always speed the process of the patina
 
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).

May I ask how much it cost you to replace the vachetta on your alma? And also do you know how much the zipper cost to repair? Found one I want to restore
 
You realize that changing all the leather requires taking the bag apart... What cost money is labor, not the leather itself.


I don't think it does on the NF because on that particular bag none of the leather actually supports the canvas... All they have to do is take the handles off, take the cinches off, and take the interior pocket out after they take the trim for the rim out and replace the pocket, trim, handles, and cinches.

It's still a lot of work - which is my point.
Billed the same way new bags are billed. It would be like buying a Mercedes but expecting the maintenance to cost as much for this Mercedes as it would cost for a Toyota.
