Hello,
I just got a pre-loved Olympe nimbus GM. It was a limited edition and I got it for a great price. The only problem is the metal plaque on the front right bottom where it says, Louis Vuitton Paris, has a slight crack around the right edge where the screw is. I've noticed a lot of the Olympe nimbus' have the same defect in my search for one. Any idea how much it would cost to have the plaque replaced? Thank you so much! The bag was made in 2007 and is a limited edition.

That shouldn't be a very expensive repair at all. The only issue is: the hardware may or may not still be available. On standard bags, the hardware and leathers are easily available, but on small collections, limited editions, and seasonal items, the factory ultimately runs out of the right hardware and leather. So I suggest you contact your local boutique soon to find out if the repair is even possible as this bag is close to ten years old. Let us know!

Thank you! I will contact them right away and let you all know. I might have to just go to my local boutique, they have all their calls forwarded to the LV customer service line. The CS line can usually tell you if a bag is in stock, but nothing else. I've had to drive out there just for simple questions. I'm just wondering if it's a defect. I've seen a lot of bags with the same issue. Thank you again. I'll keep you all posted.

Yes you have to take your item to the boutique.
They usually refuse to quote you a repair price over the phone.

Thanks. I figured I'd have to take it to the boutique. I'm a little nervous about the bag being pre loved. It's the first pre loved LV I have bought. I will follow the advice here and say it was a gift. I will let you know what they say. If they cannot repair the metal name plate due to the hardware no longer being available, are there any other avenues to get it repaired that you know of? Such as lovin my bags, leather surgeons, etc? Thank you again for your helpful resoonses.

Hey all . . i bought some Hermes pop h earrings new from ebay in the most gorgeous royal blue hue and when i received them one of the backs was broken :( so wont hold the earring in my ear is there anyway i could get another back from Hermes direct? as i really love the colour and if i send them back i might never find the exact pair again - i was thinking maybe if i could just buy another back it would save a lot of hassle and i can hang on to the earrings i love :) anybody know if this is possible or if Hermes will point blank refuse as they weren't purchased in store?

I got my 4-ring keyholder reglazed. I didn't pay anything because the glazing was coming off only after a couple of months. But on the reciept it does say 48 sek,which is about 50 dollars.

I don't think I'll use it again.
Never ever let LV change pieces of canvas on your bags!
The Repair Manager kept on telling me "you should be glad, now your bag has benn repared" ...
