It costs quite a bit to have the vachetta replaced on a Keepall.

It's a luggage piece, buy it, use it and enjoy it. Just avoid setting it down on a filthy floor or in a puddle of liquid.

If you are really worried about the vachetta, go the Epi route instead - It won't last you as long as the Monogram Canvas, but it is very attractive, especially in brown.

^ITA- spray the vachetta with some form of protectant an use it like it was meant to be used. As long as you don't purposefully abuse it you'll be fine.

When I went to have my Keepall 50 refurbished, the estimate was $460.00. I didn't proceed with the repairs.. I sold it on eBay and bought a new one instead.

What about a Damier Keepall? That way you don't have to worry about the vachetta.I really love the look of the damier.
But if you want a Mono one, I'd go with a used one first!

I had the idea of doing this...had two for years...just sold one...I use the heck out of my older vachettaed one. It was foolish me to have two, one just sat and sat and sat. My husband DID NOT WANT to carry it.

i shouldn't do that
waste of money IMO
just buy the damier keepall, no vachetta but VERRRRY gorgeous
i used to baby my speedy 35 when i just got her, but then..i was in paris and it started to rain :P i freaked out!
now i don't care and she is more beautiful then ever!

I would get a Mono one and a Damier one. Both size 50, with no straps. I have a keepall 45 now and it was my first real LV peice that has vachetta. It's totally my experiment bag. I've tried everything on that bag. Tanning, baby wipes, the whole nine yards.
