I think the handles which come with chaps is $250 so I am guessing bottom will be $400 but it includes feet and thick leather strips to keep off the floor.

Anyway thank you for the info, the price you got quoted doesn't seems that bad since a new alma cost $1500. Now I'm debating if I would want to purchase alma ebene or monogram >.<"
Nice! That pochette looks brand new!
That's what I was thinking. $655 for a practically new looking bag that costs $1500 is a pretty good deal! Now I am thinking about whether I should use that towards at Favorite MM DA or go ahead and get it done while I can at that price!
This my first LV bag so I am going with monogram as my first and DA as my 2nd. You don't have to worry about the vachetta on a DE but I really like the contrast. Good luck!
Can i check - does anyone have experience with the neverfull damier ebene's leather lining rubbing off/abrasion/peeling and LV changed the leather binding?
Does that fix the problem for a good long time? Or will it resurface?
Thanks so much!

I have a great solution for this! Make your own Noé strings from leather THAT WILL PATINA!!!
Buy this leather strip from Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Tandy-Leather..._UL160_SR117,160_&refRID=1ER480D7GYDD06JVF6BD
Then, you can simply cut it to size with a box cutter or anything that will be sharp enough to cut through thick leather. You can make at least three from the leather in the link above.
Hope this helps!!
Best regards,

Hi! My Montsouris backpack is quoted for $900 to replace all the vachetta leather. It's a big buck $$$ but a lovely and wise member advised me to go for it.
I think it's def worth it. The montsouris is so classic! If you do it please post pictures so I may drool!!!! Best of luck![emoji7]
Hello I need some advise on a repair, I debating on replacing the zipper pull but I don't know if it would be a good idea. My 21 year old speedy have a nice even patina but the leather tab became flimsy and also sign of cracks. I heard replacement are free or charge of $35. Do you think i should get it replace?
I am doing it!
Since I don't see myself parting from it I decided "what the heck" just for go it. Like you've said is a classic not to mention a vintage discontinued item and practical piece to have in my collection.
I believe the replacement are free for items that is under 2 years old but don't quote me on that I'm not that sure. Regarding if you should replace it... If still under 2 years definitely go for it (its for free anyway). If its over 2 years old and it really bothers you and really love that bag go for it as well. Is for your peace of mind. I ask my SA to tan the vachetta leather of my Montsouris backpack so I guess you can ask them that too.
This bag is over 21 years old, but I will definitely bring it to LV and see if they would repair such an old bag. Hopefully they will repair it for free if not, $35 for replacement seems like a fair price. I will regret not getting it repair if LV refuse repair on bag older than 5 years like Chanel. I agree I heard wonderful stories how they use baby wipes or leather condition to fasten up the patina.
My Montsouris backpack is from 90's and they did helped me to replace all my vachetta leather of my bag, so I don't see any reason why they won't help you. And definitely with the age of the bag... it deserves that treatment and from the sound of it you really love it. Definitely worth it.

I am alittle bummed at LV right now. I had my Siracusa for less than 10 months when the strap broke and i took it in. The rep stated that the it will most likely be replace for free but just received a call today that stated no, repair cost would be $120 because LV does not offer any type of warranty on their purses. I thought that their purses would be an investment because they are quality bags but now I may have to take my business to another brand.
All I have been reading lately is complaints about LV quality. I have posted in other threads as well. I am also disappointed by their quality and their service lately. Everything is dropping so i also took my business to another brand.
