I only paid $200 for my noe so it wouldn't be that bad for a brand new bag. They retail for 1,440 now. If I decide to get it done, I will absolutely post before and after pics 🤗

Oh yes please do! I'm considering doing the vachetta on my bucket because when they re-lined it they had to replace the little piece at the top, so it doesn't match with the rest of leather, which has light patina to it. Oooh so tempting.
Haha I know. It's so beautiful though when you take care of your bag and it perfectly patinas [emoji120]🏼 also post if you get yours done please!! [emoji51]
I agree! This one was doing great patina-wise now this discrepancy bugs me a little. I know it shouldn't but I guess it's that desire for symmetry! Ha.
I got my Monogram Empreinte Noir Zippy Coin Purse repaired due to fraying of the fabric around the zipper that started a week after purchase. The store manager tried to convince me this was normal for the wallet. I own several LV items and NONE have frayed like this near the zipper. He then forwarded my pictures to the QA manager, who then agreed it was an item defect and they offered to replace the zipper completely. It took approximately 2 week (I was quoted 4-6 weeks) and it was FREE. The receipt DID show the price if I had to pay, and a zipper replacement for the zippy coin purse is $250! Crazy. The repair job was subpar, the glue that holds the fabric to the wallet shows, and the shape of the wallet was slightly distorted because of it, but I was just so disappointed that I refused to go back.

I had the brass plate on my Favorite MM replaced a week after I purchased it and it was FREE. The SA stated the plates are very fragile and they're free to replace. Confirm with your store, but this was at Valley Fair in Santa Clara, CA. They didn't ask for my receipt, nor did they ask where I purchased it (I actually had purchased it in Europe.) The repair was done in a few hours since they had the part in stock though they said if they didn't, the estimated time would have been a week.Good to know!Any idea how much it costs? I assume they still make them since they still sell the bag.
I am not sure. Maybe someone else can chime in regarding the price? You may even get it for free if you are lucky.
Hi not sure if this will help. I was quote for AU$85 for replacing plate on district pm.
Just a side note: I have been using my 12yo Olav GM in DE this week, and I noticed the lock was very oxidized. I polished it with silver polish product bought for a few bucks at Target... Great results: it looks shiny and new!
I haven't cleaned the tiny key yet:
I haven't cleaned the tiny key yet:
Mequiars for leather, Target silver polish for hardware, baby powder for peeling and sticky linings...I am loving the tips in this thread.
I don't know if it's been mentioned, brasso using q tips for application/buffing and a silver polishing cloth works excellent on zippers and pulls (if u get brasso on zip lining-material area- dot of dawn dish soap on qtip and apply then dab a water on qtip to wipe off soap) 
Sorry the post wasn't attached to the above picture. LV repaired the straps to my new near worn mono monogram Neverfull. This is what the chaps look like. To me this is unacceptable. The first repair was from a peeling strap. I am upset with this repair.
