I don't know if this is the appropriate thread but I'm thinking of purchasing a pre-loved LV monogram bag with heavily stained vachetta so I can attempt to dye it black. If it doesn't work I can throw it away...


Have any of you heard of such a thing? I love the look of Retiro Black/Mono combo but would prefer to have it on other bags.

I bought a seriously vintage Alma and dyed the leather black and I like it so much better

Anyone know how much is it to replace all the vacheta on an amazone bag?

Nevermind, I asked the lv store here in china they told me its 4500 yuan which is about 700usd. That's way too much to just replace so little amount of leather[emoji29]

The stitching on 1 of the straps of my Totally MM (monogram) came undone after I had used the bag for only 2.5 years. I do use the bag a lot so it might've been from semi-normal wear & tear but still, for a pricey bag I was expecting at least these repairs to be covered somewhat. Both straps wound-up having to be completely replaced (instead of just re-stitching just the 1 undone strap), so my out of pocket cost was about $275+tax (I think it came out to like $300 w/tax). I was so pissed about this. My husband did not understand why LV did not allow any sort of compensation for such a pricey bag.

Hi, my contributions to the LV repair costs.

Just replaced the leather zipper pull for my multicolore speedy 30. It cost SGD90 for just the leather pull and the gold connector ring to the zip. It doesn't include the cost of the metal tip at the edge of pull.

Hope it's useful!

Thanks! Any idea what the repairs would be for anything else? Like the actual tabs? or leather by the zipper?

Am waiting for quote to reline an Epi Dauphine cosmetic pouch GM. Will post here once I get it

It can't be repaired as LV no longer have lining for that particular model.
Plan to send to a leather specialist to see what they can do. It's in too good a condition to not use!

No, sorry. I only replaced my handles.

What would be the cost to have the inside lining of an epi petit noe repaired? I believe it's calfskin.

I have a 7 hr layover in Heathrow on my way to India in October. I am planning to get the Neverfull GM DE and the Adele wallet(if available). I understand from searching and reading posts here that the prices are roughly 15% less than the UK listed price. So for the GM it would be 755 - 15% = roughly 640 GBP which is 1000USD which is still a lot cheaper than the YS price.. Can someone please confirm my understanding above is correct? And this way I will not even have to worry about filling out the customs forms to get the VAT back. I plan to use the bag in India - that way I will probably not have to declare it on way back to the states.

Thanks in advance!

You'll get 17% at the LV store at Heathrow, if you look at the personal shopping website for Heathrow you can arrange it.

Went to LV yesterday for 2 items -

1. French wallet - popper is not tight. Although I've had the wallet for several years, the replacement of the male part is free - 2 weeks.

2. Epi GM Agenda - re glazing of the entire organizer - she quoted $175-$200 but they will call me back for an exact amount. 6-8 weeks.

All work takes place in Southern California.
