It's terrible! Kind of stunning they used it in the first place and offer absolutely no solution to remedy it. The exterior of the bag is nearly perfect, even after all these years. I think my only option is a non-LV cobbler/leather worker. And I don't know who does good enough work to trust with it. Gaaaaa...
just had a new handle put on my delightful _ was $150. don't yell at me but I had actually taken it off(yep cut it off) to try another strap on it and see if I could try finding a way to use it without that on it , found it to be so in the way. then freaked out as I worried it might be bad for the bag etc, anyways, felt like an idiot taking it to the store to get a new one put on but went in and dropped it off and sucked it up and paid the $162 (tax) 5 weeks later she's back and now fine, but still not sure I'm keeping her may sell. I'm just not in love with that bag as much and that strap still drives me crazy!!!
I scrubbed off the sticky crap on my bucket with vuittonite lining. There's fabric underneath!
Ohmigosh. You've given me some hope. What did you scrub it off with? That rubbery coating stuff is just dreadful. Were you able to get the rubbery sticky stuff off the leather part that has the date code and heat stamp on it? I haven't taken anything to it yet for fear of damaging it.
I'm sorry if this was already asked. But if I buy a preloved favorite mm, would Louis Vuitton replace the plate if I paid them?
Most likely yes, if the plate is still available of course. Even without a receipt, no one that I know has been refused a repair. They may ask for one but it won't be a deal breaker.
Good to know!
Any idea how much it costs? I assume they still make them since they still sell the bag.Good to know!
I am not sure. Maybe someone else can chime in regarding the price? You may even get it for free if you are lucky.
Good to know!
What's wrong with the plate btw?
I taped off the vachetta and used one of those really rough on one side kitchen sponges, dampened, and dried the lining periodically. It was a lot of elbow grease but it worked. I had to periodically use a scrubby brush for dishes on tough spots and wipe out the gunk with a towel. Hope this helps.
thank you!
