I figured this thread could use a BUMP! I have one rescued Petit Noe and she is showing her wear... I've noticed some serious cracks in the vachetta and stains that can't be removed. I love this bag too much to think about getting a new one.
I've decided (after reading this thread in its entirety) that I'll be taking her to my closest boutique for a vachetta replacement quote. I will let everyone know how much they quote me!

anyone know how much is replacing the vachetta on neverfull??? My baby looks terrible after 2 yearsthanksssssss
It's probably 2/3 of the price of the bag. NF's are relatively inexpensive, so you may be better off selling the old one and buying a new one. It would cost less than the repair.
i can't. it was a present from my parent and its a limited one, the ROSES
The price is usually 2/3 of the retail price BUT I would think for the NF it would be cheaper since they dont have to do any piping, just the straps and top trim. Take it to your boutique so they can give you a quote.

Then it's 2/3 the price of the Roses NF original price, so more expensive than a regular NF.
I was about to ask if 2/3 of the retail cost sounded right! That's what I was told for my Petit Noe this weekend. The piping on the Noe is just located at the bottom and that doesn't need to be done... I wonder if that will affect the final cost. 
Anyone know the price to replace the Petit Noe strap & the 2 side pieces (not the bottom though) Thanks
I'm new to PF and just finding my way around. I have a 80 or 81 Bi Face (before date coding) - NOS, pristine. I need to work out how to post pix and then will reveal on this thread for comments, dating (I think 80 or 81) It's sat in a dust cover in closet unused for 30 yrs! All the hardware is shiny gold (ie, brass) like new, except the D rings on either side up top into which to hook the handle and the strap. I've worked micro surgery with Qtip and 'eco friendly' brass remover - it's coming up shiny, liquid gold..ie., brass. But it takes a long time with super precision so as not to touch the vachetta. Interestlingy the push latch on one side has some odd small 'alloy' spots - ie., not pure brass. Any advice on what else to do with the hardware? BTW: comes with key on original yellow thread - totally amazing. Can't wait to post pix.

I would love to see it. I really love pristine vintage LV. I'll be checking back for your pictures!
WOW this thread is great, I'm glad to know that I can change the handles of my Speedy once it gets too LoVed. It's almost getting to that point since I live in a very hot and humid place.
