Since this color is long gone, you may not be able to purchase a new one. But they might be able to reglaze the leather edge. Very specific situation: you will have to take your bag to a store and ask your repair specialist what your options are.

That's what I figured, I will take the strap with me when they call me to pick up some repairs I've sent in. Id be ecstatic if i could at least get it reglazed. Wish me luck! 😉
Please let us know what you find out. That was a very popular color and there is a lot of it on the second hand market, but in desperate needs of repairs!
I know this is probably a silly question, but.... I live in UK and will be travelling from Heathrow terminal 3 in June, will I be able to buy from LV and have it duty free? I hope sooo!
I am not sure how it works if you live in the UK, but the LV Boutique is located in Terminal 5 and their prices are duty free. I don't know why you would not be able to shop in the duty free lounge before your flight, but you would have to give yourself enough time to get to T5. You can request a personal shopper at no charge and they will take you there but you do need 3 hours before a flight. Good luck😀

What is your destination?
If you're flying outside the EU you can buy duty free LV offer 17% rather 20% off. You would need to make an appointment with the personal shopping team at Heathrow and you can do that on the Heathrow/duty free web site, you do need to be spend over a certain amount but if you're wanting to visit LV I can't imagine that being a problemI know this is probably a silly question, but....

Thank you for the replies! I will be travelling to US, so excited now!

will be buying a couple of bags hopefully! 
I live in the UK and bought an LV bag a couple of months ago when I was flying to the US out of T3. You can ring LV at T5 to reserve and pay for the bag ahead of time. Also a few days before the flight you should contact the personal shopping team at LHR. They can either take you to T5 to get the bag or they can meet you in T3 with the bag (that is what we did in my case). The whole process was easy and painless, just contact both LV and the LHR personal shoppers in advance to arrange everything.
It's interesting that the personal shopping team are now offering to meet you in T3 with your purchases, do you think this was due to the amount you spent? We were told we'd have to go to T5.
yes please keep us informed. I love this bag and would love to see before and after pics also
Not sure what the reason was but my personal shopper told me that not all boutiques allow the personal shopper to take the merchandise to another terminal--some shoppes require the shopper to buy in person. So maybe it was down to the boutique and not the personal shopping service. If you were buying from LV then I don't know what the reason was.
When you say zipper is rough do you mean grabs when opening and closing? if so have you tried beeswax? take a beeswax candle or a piece of solid beeswax and rub it over the zipper. It should run smooth after.
Thanks for your answer, we're flying out of T3 in June again this year, I'll see how I get on.
