The red he used is a perfect match to my red epi bag. Not sure about other colors. You could do black or natural vachetta for the slider.Hi do you know if he used actual epi material? Mine is lilac which I don't think is as commonly found.

With our dollar, shipping and duty, it became $300. But yes I agree, good deal none the less. My friends and bf was shocked at a value and bf thought it was brand new bag! Restoration projects on vintage bags are fun too. I am currently looking for vintage speedy 30 in monogram.. I have a such fetish for vintage. I looked at couple bags from 80's and one even older. I do highly recommend my seller, he was so sweet and nice. But it seems like he rarely does auctions and not to many LV's.. Good luck on your search and show us once you find one!
I purchased a preloved petit noe in November. The vachetta was pretty old so I'm saving to get it all replaced. I also love the old model with less vachetta. I ordered a LV slider off ETSY that's super cute for it....now I just need the bag repaired!
Yaaas! Restoration sounds really intriguing. Do u have a link to your seller?
I used agrade_2008. I just rechecked. Seems like no LV so far.
This is gorgeous! When did you buy it? I rarely ever see this colour.Here it is. However I'm really annoyed that I can't find where I stored the string! Looked everywhere I thought it could be.

I don't think the color would take away from the brand. If you like black accessories then you'll probably be very happy. I personally do not like black details against monogram canvas. I just think it classes whIle others love the combo. If you were trying to cover up worn or stained vachetta with the black I would pick a burgundy shade, as it compliments the tones of monogram... but then if that color wouldn't match your wardrobe then that color.doesn't make sense. Pick a color that will go with the majority of what you wearWant to get some options...
I'm thinking about dyeing the leather on my petit noe black. I saw someone carrying one and I thought it was pretty, but, I'm afraid that it would take away from the brand.
Thank you for your options in advance!

Like the Reitro, you look at that online you can see what other colors look lIke against monogram print. I like their shade "rasin" myself
