Small note: my bag had vachetta that was so pale; so, I put it on a table next to a window during the summer. It darken'd up. Put the bottom half of the bag in another cover/bag and let the sun hit the top of your bucket bag - rotate. It should catch up to the darker color. Just put on a timer & rotate to watch during the day. Best of Luck - All looks good! Love your denim!!! -Lorraine 🍒🍒🍒
Love that you invest your time and money into giving these bags more life! ♥️♥️♥️ sorry about the cherry bag, that is very frustrating that they made a decision without asking you first! However, it looks much better and will be a great part of your collection!
I was playing this video while I was doing my own LV unboxing all by myself lol. I love this denim collection. It's my favorite from LV. I wish I got the tote from it 😔
So cool to see these bags alive and well again. While I feel your pain over the cherry bag, even that one looks incredible. Thanks for sharing your collection with us
I've recently purchased the same bucket bag!! I also wanted one when they first came out and couldn't afford it..😭😭 I, luckily, found one in great condition, with the pouch...I was shocked!! I love how excited you get when u open a package!!❤❤❤ Great video as always!!!
Regarding LV repairs, I know a couple of fairly recent prices. They’re expensive, but, then again, they’re disassembling and reassembling the bag. A Noe’ gm vachetta replacement was $1060, and a Rendonne GM was $1310.
To see you so excited makes me excited and so very happy for you lovely Meredith. Your face just beams with joy when you unbox your items and especially the pieces that have gone on a LV holiday. I just wish they had contacted you about the Cherries bag. It is still very beautiful even so. Much love. Jenni. XX💞💙💚🍒
Being old enough to remember the original launch its awesome to see the denim bags restored to their former glory. Plus how to cool to have complete sets.
Love the denim bags! Cover the bottom of the bucket bag with tape and sun the upper part making sure to turn it to even the patina. I had to do this when one of my bags caught the sun on one side from being on a shelf & darkened more than the rest.
Thanks for sharing these updates, Meredith. I have these original denim pieces too… the Baggy PM, the Pleaty, the key cles and a zippy wallet. I also have the cherry 🍒 Speedy and the 🍒 key cles. Your revamped pieces look amazing! Gets me excited to wear mine again! 🎉
Love seeing everyone come home! I had the pale pink and black Marc Jacobs versions of the baggie. I love that shape so much. ( I carry fountain pens but knock wood...) Lol my old speedy has the pull tab in bright white while the rest of the leather is 30 years aged. I kinda like the repair reminder and will enjoy seeing it age to match.
Love that you have vintage pieces repaired. Looking forward to the complete repair video. I'm definitely curious about the price. So happy for you that you have completed several sets. Thank you for sharing your negative experience as well. I agree that it doesn't seem to make any sense that they couldn't replace the bottom piece. I can't wrap my brain around that. And they definitely should not have proceeded without consulting you. Glad you're happy with the final result. The cherry pattern is wonderful. Looking forward to your upcoming vlog sale! xoxo
Love pink denim! And love the cherry print! They should definitely have consulted with you to see what you wanted to do when they couldn't replace the base since the colour difference is so obvious!
The cherry bag looks so silly still! 16:17 there’s no way that’s going to look close to base as it age in time. Get it reassessed again Meredith, it looks ridic! 😢 such a beautiful piece to look like that
LV did a beautiful job restoring your denim bags!! They look new! In the case of the bucket bag, they should have notified you of the problem, so you could decide for yourself. I’ll bet, as it continues to get treated, it will look just fine.😊🤞 Lovely collection!!😊
Love the denim collection. Collectionmas is going to be epic! So sorry that your bucket bag wasn’t to your specs, but hopefully the straps will patina to a nice golden color. Enjoy your new to you bags!
Omg! What! I’m so sorry. Wow! It looks amazing! The handles will darken up but I feel like you, it’s just a piece of leather! Loved all your pieces! Omg that sounded dirty! I have a bag off being repaired right now. I should see it back in 2025b 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Your denim is so amazing! I love all your pieces. So lucky to get the last of the koalas. Do they plan to ever restock those or that was the end of the era? They’re much cuter than the new larger ones. Especially if there are two the smaller size is less busy! Great unboxing! ❣️
Congrats on getting your pieces back. They look refreshed and ready to go. I think it’s ridiculous LV ran out of koala noses - they seriously can’t produce more? And I’m old school & still carry pens. I just use a pen case.
Hi I don't understand why they couldn't change the bottom vachette on your bucket bag! I have a canvas pm bucket and had all the vachette replaced even the bottom band!!!
Ahhhhh😱🤩👏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻🤩😱omg,🩷🩵💚🩷🩵💚🩷🩵💚…..your denim trio collection looks amazing!!! I feel your love and happiness so much….. I feel that was one of THE best LV collections EVR! …Meredith, I also feel your frustration regarding your LV Cherrrys bag, ☹🍒I am not certain if it was the video but it actually looked to me like, there are 3 different shades of vachetta on the bag now,…..the vachetta straps are slightly darker -one color, the tabs are the lightest vachetta-and the bottom obviously original vachetta a beautiful warm patina in my opinion ….[being a designer, personally that would drive me nuts] …..especially since I had a client few years back that got her whole large bucket bag vachetta replaced! Now she lived in the US, do they send those pieces to France? ……I just want you to be happy with it and could see your frustration ❤……I personally would send it back and make them re-do it all. It if your happy with it, ignore my rant🤣Enjoy your denim again they are all soooooo beautiful 🩷🩵💚
I’m based in the US and had my monogram bucket bag vachetta replaced. They did it all including the base. I wonder if you could have that sent to another country to get the base replaced?
I do not understand why they couldn’t use the aged VL like on your side trunk in the background. That would have blended in nicely! Cannot wait for your Xmas collection this year! Enjoy your bags now that they are home
OMG, I have the Monogram Bucket Bag and it’s tattered and worn. I was wondering if LouisVuitton can restore it. The inside is leather. Please let me know if they can restore the inside.
That is a stupid thing! Why would they do that to the Bucket bag? I wonder if they couldn't replace the bottom VVN* because the shaper for the bottom canvas piece no longer exist and attempting to replace the leather would have resulted on a wonky bag? *is this how its written in the paperwork or is it actually Vivienne?
@@joyceedwards6112 after checking is either the Mini Lin or the Idylle monogram which were only available from the mid 00's to, i wanna say, 2012, There might be an overlap between the pieces in this video but it is still more likely for these to be older
The full sets look amazing together! Congrats on getting them back.
Thanks Autumn
You don't need to tell us how much joy your bags bring you, it comes across on screen. Enjoy 💜
Thank you ☺️
Love ALLLLL your bags!!! The cherry bucket bag still looks wonderful and I can feel her happiness being back home with her mommy & siblings!!!
Thank you ☺️
Hi Meredith!! The joy on your face is so apparent!! We can definitely see your happiness!! Love the Marc Jacobs collection.💕☺️🇨🇦

Congratulations!! That’s such a great find!
You could rub olive oil on the handles/chaps of that cherries bag & it will darken to a nice pretzel brown like the bottom.🥨
Thanks for the suggestion
Love seeing all these bags come back to you looking brand new again xxx
Me too!
Great bags. Enjoy
Thank you ☺️
The denim bags my heart! I’m in love with the denim ❤️

Ticking those collections off one by one! Congrats 🙌🏼

Love pink denim! And love the cherry print! They should definitely have consulted with you to see what you wanted to do when they couldn't replace the base since the colour difference is so obvious!
I totally agree!
I love it when she said i don't care if anyone is watching I'm exited to to do it 😂❤❤❤❤❤
True! I’ll happily just unbox these for no one!
Love your denim collection
Thank you!!
Beautiful bags. They should have consulted you on that cherries repair. I love the green denim. Really cool color.
Thanks Gene!

@@livingluxwithmeredith your welcome
The denim pleaty ❤
It’s so good!
I love LV denim bags ! And I am old enough to have pen marks in my bags 😂😂
Thank you ☺️
Love all your bags! I would love to see what SLG’s you use in your bags! ❤️
I’ll keep that in mind for a video
I am catching up on videos I just got off a Disney cruise the magic, we already have 2 more booked!
I hope you had a great time Jak!
Wow this is incredible 😮😍 They all look amazing and I’m glad the 🍒 worked out in the end 🥰
Thank you 🤗
💙💚🩷 Beautiful pieces 🩷💚💙
Thank you! 🤗
I always LOVE seeing your items.
Wow I’m shocked LV didn’t contact you about the cherry 🍒 bag.
Me too!
Omg! What! I’m so sorry. Wow! It looks amazing! The handles will darken up but I feel like you, it’s just a piece of leather! Loved all your pieces! Omg that sounded dirty! I have a bag off being repaired right now. I should see it back in 2025b 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Thanks Winnie. I’m sure it’ll be fine. Good luck with your repairs
Your blouse is so beautiful! If you can let us know where you got it, I sure would appreciate it!!!!
It’s from Lily Silk. It’s the Mel in Melbourne collab. Size up!
Your denim is so amazing! I love all your pieces. So lucky to get the last of the koalas. Do they plan to ever restock those or that was the end of the era? They’re much cuter than the new larger ones. Especially if there are two the smaller size is less busy! Great unboxing! ❣️
Generally they won’t reproduce due to licensing arrangements
I carry pens and keys in my bag😅! Loveeee the denim pieces❤❤❤
In fairness, so do I
Congrats on getting your pieces back. They look refreshed and ready to go.
I think it’s ridiculous LV ran out of koala noses - they seriously can’t produce more?
And I’m old school & still carry pens. I just use a pen case.
It’ll be a licensing arrangement that means they can’t produce more
Hi I don't understand why they couldn't change the bottom vachette on your bucket bag! I have a canvas pm bucket and had all the vachette replaced even the bottom band!!!
The design is slightly different and it would have been a licensing issue

The cherries bucket is different to the standard design so they can’t be repaired the same.
Amazing 👏 🎉❤
Thanks 😄
I’m based in the US and had my monogram bucket bag vachetta replaced. They did it all including the base. I wonder if you could have that sent to another country to get the base replaced?
Yours would be one with the full base then. Mine is a slightly different design which is why it’s an issue
I do not understand why they couldn’t use the aged VL like on your side trunk in the background. That would have blended in nicely! Cannot wait for your Xmas collection this year! Enjoy your bags now that they are home
That would have been changing the original design and they can’t do that
I don't understand why it is not possible to change the bottom vachetta part on the cherry bag 😢.
Neither do I
Found a runway SS2010 ombré denim ..blue/stonewashed bag with pink stitching and a pink webbed strap……..would you like the eBay seller’s detail???❤️❤️
It’s not part of a collection I’m currently working on, but thank you
OMG, I have the Monogram Bucket Bag and it’s tattered and worn. I was wondering if LouisVuitton can restore it. The inside is leather. Please let me know if they can restore the inside.
They don’t do the inside as far as I know
Thank you.
Just wow 🤩🥰🤩😎👜😎❤️💕💗👌👌👌
Thank you ☺️
Hermes shop?
???
You said you took your LV to Hermes shop. Lol. Didn’t think you knew you said it
2nd! Lol! Hi Mer!!
Hello 👋
That is a stupid thing! Why would they do that to the Bucket bag?
I wonder if they couldn't replace the bottom VVN* because the shaper for the bottom canvas piece no longer exist and attempting to replace the leather would have resulted on a wonky bag?
*is this how its written in the paperwork or is it actually Vivienne?
VVN is correct. It’s about producing a new piece that is no longer licensed to be made. I think I’ll do a while video on that distinction.
❤️❤️❤️👜👜👜🌹🌹🌹🤗
Thank you ☺️
Just wipe some olive oil on it. Will look normal
I don’t ever put anything on my bags. If LV screw it up it’s one thing, but I won’t take the chance myself
First Dayle not your video What else is a gal doing on Saturday
We like to help you guys out on your weekends!
She buys junk bags lol and has them reworked snd refurbished LMAO 🤣
One persons junk is many others peoples passion. Try to find joy in others peoples joy instead of being miserable and judging others.
I just loove all the denim pieces 🩷💙💚 I have the pink baggy pm as well and I really enjoy it!
They’re so good!
I just saw a vintage green round coin purse in a small monogram. I think it might have been older than your pieces.🫣
the small monogram is relatively recent so I don't think so, it may even be a fake
I’m not sure it would have been part of that collection
@@hectorrobertocontrerasmiranda It was in an auction where there verify items.
@@joyceedwards6112 after checking is either the Mini Lin or the Idylle monogram which were only available from the mid 00's to, i wanna say, 2012, There might be an overlap between the pieces in this video but it is still more likely for these to be older
This is sad Meredith
For who? I’m clearly super happy.
Ooooo I'd have been apoplectic with the Cherries no-consultation half-repair. 😤 What a thing to do! They all look great now, though, Meredith. 💚🩷🩵
Thanks Gwenny ❤️
Great bags. Enjoy
Thank you ☺️
