called my local LV store to ask in advance how much it would be to replace handles on a vintage Speedy I purchased that has that problem along with some items. I'm hoping the missing zipper tab won't be much more plus it's missing the lock and key which I would love to have. They quoted me $140 for both handles which is ok all things considered . Hoping for the best . 😬Where can I take it to clean the inside or even do it myself ? Thanks in advance

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!

Hi. i just did that this month. I had a 5 hour lay over. I would say that you should definitely arrange the sale. on my way to Africa they didn't have the NF GM in DE. They didn't have a lot of stock due to the LV vacation and strikes etc. I was luckier on my way back. I have cards for the SAs i used( bought something going and coming:yahoo:). DM me when you are ready and decide you want to do this and i will share the email address. Because you are traveling through, they will charge you the non-EU price after they record your passport info and your flight information. They offer a choice of currency payment. For me they asked if wanted to pay in pounds or dollars. The difference in price was well worth it.

The Neverfull GM is 755 GBP, about 1185 USD right now. The US price is 1340 USD so you'd be instantly saving around 150 USD. If you claimed the VAT back then you'd save a bit more.

You need to do nothing.. They automatically charge you the non-EU price if you have a boarding pass and a passport.ImageUploadedByPurseForum1440340682.524252.jpg

I brought in an old monogrammed canvas petit Noe today to a store for repair – guy very nicely slapped the base and told me 'it's still in quite good condition!' so I just went ahead and fixed everything else. Anyway: got the leather handles, top binding, sides, and lace changed out which totalled SGD$800. Very happily they have a workshop here! So it apparently takes only 4 to 6 weeks.

Not sure if that's a good price, because I think the bag is from at least the 90s, if not 80s; and its price has gone up a LOT since then anyway.

Took my previously LoVed Monogram Metis to LV @ Northpark Dallas. It has a little color transfer on the glazing on the side seams and maybe a chip or two in the glazing. It was a little expensive at $175 to re-glaze both side seams but the bag is in amazing condition and I got it about 1/2 of retail so I thought it was a good investment to get it fixed. I'll have to wait 4-6 wks plus shipping so I'll re-post after I get it back.ImageUploadedByPurseForum1440392940.726356.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1440392993.682792.jpg

On my same trip to LV Northpark Dallas I brought a pre LoVed Monogram Totally. I had the gift receipt on this one but she never asked to look at it. Threads pulling on where the straps attach to the purse. $140 to re-stitch body handle chape (all 4). Seemed a little high but again I got it in great condition for about 1/2 retail so hopefully another good investment. I'm hoping maybe they will be shipped to me with a dust bag and/or box to soften the blow of repairs [emoji12]ImageUploadedByPurseForum1440393519.767567.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1440393665.951377.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1440393720.308817.jpg

So this is a really weird question, but when changing vachetta, do they stamp the bag with "made in ...", or do they leave it blank? I'm thinking about replacing the leather on my noe, but it was made in France so I don't want to risk sending it in for repair in the US if they do the work there and it gets stamped with "made in the USA". Obviously if they don't stamp at all it's not an issue, but I just want the "made in.." to correspond with the datecode.

I think replacing the Neverfull MM in DE straps cost around $220 for both straps from what I've read on here. What about just re-glazing the sides of the straps? Or does that not make sense to do? Is replacing them the way to go?
