I took a look and they did not - it still has the date code from 2003. Buy you are right, I seem to remember having a Sac Plat redone - but it was the lining on that one - and they did replace the date code.

Hi,

I bought a sully mm pre-loved for a good deal so I am considereding replacing some parts if it is still a good deal (in comparison to buying the bag brand new). Does anyone know:

1)how much it is to replace the circle loop hardware? It has started to turn silver because of the other hardware piece turning/rubbing on it when the handle is moved back and forth.

2)how much to replace the leather handle? It's wrinkled and somewhat dirty. I understand all sully handles will wrinkle so I'm not sure if there is a point to replacing it once I give it a good cleaning.

3) leather tab on the zipper pulls. They are the dirtest part of the purse, understandably. I heard LV replaces zippers for free, does this include the leather tab?

Just dropped by the store to get some quotes. The hardware circles are $70 each. The leather handle with the hardware replaced is $245. The leather tabs on the zipper were $70 each. I was considered replacing the whole handle, but the repair specialist said the purse was in good condition so I decided to wait on fixing it. The zipper tabs were way much more than I expected.

My best friend has a 9 year old monogram speedy 30 she's never used as she has way too many bags. Basically, I can have it for £300, but it has invisible heat stamp. Can that be removed or the leather bit replaced and if so what would it cost roughly? It has the most gorgeous patina. I was going to buy a new one but would it be worthwhile having this done. I've never had anything repaired at LV so no idea. Thanks for your help in advance.

So I took the speedy to the LV boutique today and was told it will take 6-8 weeks and cost £41 to replace the heat stamped chap.

Wow I'm pleasantly surprised at the cost!

I was told 2 days ago by Heathrow Personal Shopper that if I contact LV and pay (via bank transfer though not a card:nogood:) then they will reserve the item for me in advance and I could collect it from any terminal.

I contacted Heathrow and requested 3 items be held for me. A personal shopper got back to me and said that I had to call them 24 hours before my flight and they would reserve them. After I was out in London and saw that they had very little stock of the item I wanted, I got nervous and just bought it there and had the form filled out for customs. I think it is definitely cheaper to buy directly from the terminal, but I was worried that they wouldn't have the purse that I wanted ( Empreinte Noir Twinset)
