strange, the pictures here look very different to ebay pictures? The link to ebay was a NF PM in good used condition, here is very used condition? are these two the same bag?

It’s leather dye. I don’t know yet. The leather is pretty dry on this piece. Time will tell how it wears.
Question for everyone. I just got a vintage Houston to dye. It's in beautiful condition for dying, but there's one concern with it. It sounds like there may have been something between the lining and the leather (presumably to help it keep it's shape) that has maybe disintegrated. So when I move the bag around, you can hear particles shifting around. Anyone have experience with this or ideas on what to do? I'm guessing my only options would be to leave it or remove some of the stitching to get it out. I'm open to thoughts!
Yeah, I know what you meant, I would not touch it just put a cardboard piece on the base and using it.
I picked up my repaired speedy tonight after work. She looks like a new bag! The sales associate said she could put it on the floor and no one would know she’s 22 years old [emoji173]️I’m so happy plus she came in under the budget! I was quoted $595 and was charged $540 for exterior vachetta replacement!
Hey ladies! Did anyone recently have a zipper replaced on a Speedy? I wonder how much it costs. And does anyone know if it’s possible to have a vintage item mon-monogrammed? Thank you! [emoji4]
Thank you! [emoji4]Do you know if it is possible to send the bag to LV to have it stamped and repaired? The store near me closed
That is a good question.
The main reason I went with the repair route was that I liked the older brass zipper and thicker canvas on the vintage speedy. I purchased my speedy from Japan for $300. The repair was $540. I have a vintage bag with new vachetta that I love! I plan to go this route for the Petit Noe as well. I have LV bags I have purchased new from the boutique but there are particular models that I like vintage due to construction, hardware, vachetta, etc. The repair route isn't for everyone but it works for me. Hope that helps.

Hello all! I'm trying to join the rescue club but needed some advice. I'd like to purchase a vintage cross body - Im thinking St Cloud, Chantilly or the Cartouchiere. I will apologize in advance if this was posted elsewhere but can anyone share their experience on rescuing these bags and the price it cost? Also which would you recommend for a rescue? TIA.
Hi! I won this speedy from an eBay auction (Japan seller) and honestly didn't zoom in enough to see this particular photo [emoji20] Do these white marks look like canvas peeling? Help! Haven't paid yet but since I won already looks like I have no choice.
If peeling, is it something that can be repaired?
Thanks in advance [emoji173]️
