Hi everyone! I got my very first LV last month— she’s vintage and I bought her off of Poshmark. She is a mono Speedy from 1983 ( I turn 30 this year so I wanted a bag from the decade I was born in). She needs a new zipper, zipper pull & keyhole tab. Any ideas on how much this might possibly run? I love the patina— the honey color just warms my heart lol

For those in the Rescue Club who’ve removed Vuittonite, have you had issues with the cotton interior piling? I removed the Vuittonite from my toilette 19 with Simple Green and a toothbrush but now tiny dust like pieces of the brown cloth interior are getting on anything I place inside....
Hi I was going to replace my drawstring for my Mini Montsouris backpack and found this place. I haven't ordered it yet- only 12.99I have a Noe in recovery
Other than LV, where else can you purchase a vachetta drawstring for a Noe?
Mcraft is my 1st option, but at $42, I'm willing to entertain other options. lol

You may not have completed the removal process. For me there were two steps - peeling or rubbing the tacky stuff off, underneath that was the powdery fibres/dust. I then cleaned the whole thing with acetone after which there is just soft cotton left.
ETA I also use a bag liner/organiser so my stuff is not directly touching the lining anymore, but there is no dust/fibres coming off the lining itself.
This looks fantastic. I have been looking for something similar for my vintage Bucket GM.
Got this Neverfull PM for..... $45!!!
Going to clean it up and post before and after pics later. Will have to get the top trim replaced but I was told that is only $60. The rest is in great shape!

Here are my before and after pics for the Neverfull PM I rescued.
Bought an odeon mm which is 9yrs old. Had uneven vachetta and marker ink on canvas. Used magic eraser, wet sock method and meltonian cleanser on vachetta and alcohol rub on canvas to lighten the marker ink.

Yes, I used warm water with a little shout and lightly scrubbed the interior. Then I used leather cleaner and conditioner for the vachetta. The top trim is ripped so I'll have to get that replaced. Luckily that's the least expensive to replace.
Hello,
I've found a vintage speedy that I'd like to rehab - the vachetta is an acceptable colour to me, there is no cracking of the canvas plus it comes with the lock and key. I really like this bag!
However I'm not sure about the rip by the zipper as seen in the picture below. Is this possible to repair, and if so how would you suggest going about it?

Wow, great job and great find!
