Hi, just had my speedy 25 one of the chap re-stitched (loose thread) and replaced leather zipper pull for australian dollars $43. Had mine ready for collection in 6 weeks. I think re- stitched were $43 and leather zipper pull were free, I'm not 100% sure.
 
Hello! I'm looking to purchase a Mini Saint Cloud (i love baby -size bags)on ebay but the inside leather divider/ pocket is cracked and sticky. The price is only $100 right now but I don't want to spend more than $100 fixing it. PS I live in Toronto but I assume US prices to repair would be similar...anyone have experiencing replacing a leather component like that? I wonder if I could just peel off the rest and glue in my own fabric or leather lining with a local cobbler too (like a fun red or hot pink to personalize) here's the bag -

Hi!
I'd like to share with you my experience with LV repair policy.
Saturday I went to the LV Boutique in S. Lorenzo in Lucina in Rome to purchase a new bag in damier ebene in substitution of my beloved Trevi that was stolen last week ... I ended up buying a Greenwich ... but this is another story and I already posted a reply on the Greenwich thread on this forum .
On the occasion I decided to bring with me my Tivoli and my Totally damier azur to inquire if it was possible to repair them e how much would it cost.

The Tivoli (2008) has a crack in canvas on one side ...very small indeed but still a crack.
The SA told me that the bag is no longer in production that this happens and bla bla bla ...
Anyhow she summoned the "guru" of the situation , a very kind gentleman, who after inspecting the bag stated that they can repair it FOR FREE changing just the lefthand side of the bag - which is a separate piece of canvas -. Wau!
The strange thing is that a few years ago I took it to the LV boutique in Venice (it was still in production) and the SA told me that they will never ever take in for repair a bag with crack in canvas unless the bag was under warranty (one year) ??????

The Totally (2011) has a general fading of the colour of canvas and a big crack in the vacchetta piping (you can see the plastic wire inside popping up!!). After a not too accurate general look at it the expert SA gentleman told me that in this case it's a regular use and tear issue and that they will send very accurate pictures to Paris in order to allow the French experts to determine the price for piping replacement. As far as the fading in canvas colour he said there's nothing they can do.

They told me they will either phone or email me when they know the price.

Three years ago I had a "bad" (there are worse things in life, I'm aware..) experience when they sent to Paris my Alexandra wallet to be re-glazed and re-stitched . After one month they phoned me telling that may wallet was back because in Paris they decided that it couldn't be repaired. I was quite disappointed ... anyhow I kept using it as it was till last week when it was stolen together with the the bag ...

So now I'm just crossing my fingers and waiting ...
I'll keep you posted.
 
Just left Louis Vuitton in NC..to replace all the leather on the Speedy 30 is $527.00 and a new one is $970..so not worth it....I just paid $30 to have my zipper repaired and I guess I will sell it....

It's definitely not worth it for a Speedy. But for a discontinued bag that one may want to preserve, it's decent knowing that the bag must be completely deconstructed and rebuilt.
