Repair/Replacement Costs - List

[LemonDrop]

I'll keep an eye out for the answer. I'm headed to Heathrow tomorrow. I live in the USA. So if I were to get an LV item in £ (which is a discount for me compared to $) then 17% off, then no VAT, then possibly an employee discount. That would be an insane amount of money saved. It seems to good to be true. I'm starting to think I have mis-understood some how.

The price in LHR's duty free is about 17% off the British price (in GBP).

If you did buy in the city and do the VAT refund, you get about 10-12% off depending on mode of refund (closer to 10ish% if you do cash, closer to 12% if you opt for credit card refund). Do keep in mind you have to get the paperwork stamped at the VAT refund office, which could take about an hour.

Though, based on the exchange right now and with either VAT refund or duty free, it's cheaper to buy in London vs the US.

Thank you soo much. this has got me so excited.

If you shop in the city, have a copy of your passport! They need the passport number to fill out your VAT refund papers. Then make sure you have time to stand in line for the VAT refund counter to get the stamp and refund (if you opt for cash).

Have a great time!

You don't have to get a box at all.

Don't get the box! Too bulky! Depending on the airline your duty free stuff has to fit in your carry on/personal bag, so the box just gets in the way of more stuff you can get.

I agree. I didn't get the box. just the dust bag. it fit nicely in my carryon.. It was a Heys roller. i left one side empty for my"haul". or you may use the bag as has been suggested and pack the dustbag.

I think that's my plan too, now that I've picked the bag I want to buy in London. I'm going to have a small daypack and the bag will fit just fine in there. Can't wait!

Also, picked up my relined large bucket today. LV charged me $114. Unfortunately, they wouldn't repair/reline the accompanying accessories pouch nor would they just swap it out with a new pouch, as seems to have occurred for several other TPF members...

Hi can anyone tell me the best place to get my large bucket relined?

Hey all!
I am looking into purchasing a Louis Vuitton Idylle Brown Canvas Speedy 30 bag. It has wear on the edges. Does anyone know if it is able to be repaired at the Louis Vuitton store or is it not able to be repaired.

Thanks for your help!

It looks like the fabric/canvas is really worn on this bag and I don't think that anything can be done for it at this point. I would not consider purchasing this item.

Ok That is what I will do too! Just that I was looking at some of the unboxing videos for the neverfull and got greedy for the box

Hi all, does anyone know how much it will cost to replace all vachetta trim on a neverfull MM?

FYI, I was able to get a quote on my neverfull. They charge $115 for each shoulder strap, and they charge $70 for the rim.

I just bought this pre-owned speedy 25. The handles were bitten by a dog, so I was thinking maybe I would replace the handles. Would you guys recommend, I replace all the leather? If so, anyone know how much it might be?
