I know a few people that have better quality fake LV bags then the one’s that LV themselves make It so odd and kind of annoying just knowing how kind of crappy real LV bags are. Theres a few that are probably worth the money, but so far not enough that I’d really want to buy one? I’m glad you’ve made the bags better and repaired as many as you have. I’ve learned to not want to buy one now that I’ve seen so many of these videos on them.
great work, Steve. I think what you did gave the bag new life for many years and anyone complaining that it's "not original" should go ahead and buy the lady a new one.
i was expecting a nice thick piece of leather to cover the bad parts as i have seen you do before which in my humble opinion makes the bag look of better quality when finished.. i was a bit disappointed in this one but i don't know the customer wishes or budget..still gave a thumbs up cos of the great work you do and you still saved the bag..
Love it. As a leather hobbyist making mainly bags, the amount I’ve learnt from the deconstruction and reassembly and all other stuff to makes the bags come back to life, invaluable. Although I stitch everything by hand well everything right down to skiving even tho I have a bell skiver. Thanks for taking the time for making these videos
It’s an east-west style now. I think those of us with a bag collection ( mine isn’t huge and is mainly Mulberry England) forget that someone with just one bag, who uses it every day will actually wear the materials out over time. None of my bags get used often enough to get that type of damage, because I have some I wear only in summer or winter etc and they get rotated , but I think it’s cool that someone loves their bag so much and wears it to every occasion.
Yes, I totally agree. I just repaired my LV Graceful that’s only 2 years old! Normal wear n tear.I purchased another LV Graceful for spring summer and will rotate them with my other handbags..
Another great handbag video! Because of your videos I started purchasing vintage luxury handbags and I am not afraid to dye them or make changes to them if they are not in perfect condition. I have no problem with you making changes to authentic handbags;great way to keep the handbag in circulation. Keep the handbag videos coming!
I really like ur work and the history of ur family it’s truly amazing. One family member stands out the most to me is ur brother I love the story you told making bags from scratch.
I just watched a youtube video on LV repairs for cracked ir missing PVC coating on the canvas. This bag is pretty extensively damaged, but you buy Edge Kote, which is a PVC coating. With a small brush fill the cracks on the canvas, heat with a heat gun and press with a tool lightly to give it a grain look. Allow it to dry thoroughly. I have an LV Speedy 40 that has one scratch on the bottom I think I'll try it on.
I may be the only woman in the USA who has never liked LV bags, but your solution to the damage was beautiful. I’m sure your customer will love it.🤗🐝❤️
I’m never a fan. I told my hubby NEVER to give me an LV bag. I would rather go to a European vacation than get an LV bag/item. I just smile and say “ that’s a nice bag” whenever my friends show off their LV bags to me.
I recall another LV bag you did had similar damage at the opening of the bag, and you added a leather section to the top. For this bag I was expecting you to do the same, but I can understand why you chose not to. The damage to the canvas was heavy. Overall another excellent project completed!
@@BedosLeatherworksLLC LV was giving people replacements for these bags. Too bad she didn’t know about this. I don’t think the bag hangs properly anymore, not your fault though.
Awesome Video Steve loved it as always my friend. I truly wish you could post 50 videos a day I wouldn't ever watch anything but your channel. I can't get enough of you and your amazing personality Steve you just make my day a little brighter my friend keep it up and God Bless you and yours.
Another one! I had the volume way up so I could listen to the razor smashing the threads, the scissors cutting the material, and then the doorbell rang! LOL great job as usual Steve!
LV needs to bring you on as a consultant. There are quite a few things you could teach them to up their quality significantly with minimal impact on their design or current production starting with the cardboard lining bon the trim.
@@stanlee7635, it's perceived value, not actual value..... you will happily spend 1500 on iPhone when you know it costs 250 to make.... why apple is a cool product and a sign of wealth and hence perceived as a luxury product.
@@physics77guy no excuse to not make a quality product. There are very expensive bags that are also very well made. Manufacturing cost can never be the price the customer pays. It will always have to be considerably more to keep a business running.
The Delightful was one of L.V.'s worst designs in my opinion. It was cute but it just did not hold up over time. The worst bag I've ever had. I sold it after getting the trim replaced. They had issues with the canvas from this time period particularly with hobo style bags. You did a great job repairing but L.V. should have given this bag owner store credit. Your skills are amazing.
Thank you for these videos! They are awesome! Your line of work is definitely something that you learned over the years and it shows. I’ll definitely keep on watching!
This is a Delighrful GM, the largest Delightful. The Delightful is a popular bag but no longer being manufactured. This is an older bag probably 2010ish. And for anyone mentioning about price, all top designer bags are insanely priced.
This one didn't require the Bedo's ingenuity we normally see. That was about all that could have been done. I would have cut it up to repurpose it! :). Beautiful job as always!
Another terrific job in bringing back a well loved item into usable condition again! I completely agree that if you are someone who actually “uses” your expensive bags, then being able to continue using it is what is most important. 👍👍👍👜
Nice work. Seen a few videos of your work and I enjoy watching. Ever talk repair costs of the purses or repaired one that ended up being a replica and explain how to tell the difference? Nice 👍🏼
Hi Steve, tnx this time for repair this little bag but also more watch time. So I hope next time we’ll see more hammer time, jokes and “Lets continu” repairing shoes.
Another of Bedo's beauties! You are amazing. Too bad it wasn't sent in a bit sooner, so the damage would not be as severe. I love watching your work. (You just did my beige low heeled Valentinos.)
All these people who think the coated canvas is inferior & they thought it was leather have no idea how well that canvas can look after 20-30 years! These bags ( Delightful with zippers ) had some glazing issues. She could have returned it to LV who would have given a credit towards a new bag as this one is discontinued!
I love your channel. Watching you sew the top pipping I just had one tip (long time seamstress), turn the bag inside out and then you can topstitch on the right side without fighting with all that bulk of the bags.
Hi Steve 🙋🏽. I'M really fascinated by the people who absolutely love L.V. THE BAG IS REALLY CHEAPLY MADE. ALL THEY ARE PAYING FOR IS THE NAME. THE BAGS CONTAIN PAPER AND CARDBOARD ‼️ AND THESE PEOPLE ARE PAYING OUTRAGEOUS PRICES FOR THESE THINGS. BUT TO EACH HIS OR HER OWN. IT'S JUST REALLY FASCINATING TO ME ‼️ AND IT'S JUST MY OPINION. STEVE HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND 😉‼️👍🏽👌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. AWESOME JOB 👌🏾.
You have to ask yourself, Is it better to have a damaged or unusable but original LV bag or to have a reworked LV bag with 10-20 years use left? If you are a museum curator, go with the first, if you use your bags, go with the second.
From what I see Steve increases the value of these bags cause 9 times out of 10 he is removing the cheap materials and replacing with better while putting more time and care into fixing and stitching then was put into it when it was originally made. Seems crazy to think he us devaluing the bag with what he does.
@@dmack1827 for me would have done in LV store to fix it, they charge but they do amazing and original work. I fix my pet carrier and was absolutely worth it every penny they charge. I comment on his workmanship he did great job, but as me I would have bring it to LV store and wouldn’t matter for me how much it will cost. Value of the bag is important at least to me :)
@@BedosLeatherworksLLC wow! I am very surprise why not? They change handles, zippers, piping, screws, their customer service are amazing. I change for my car carrier metal mesh and they did amazing job it’s like never was touched and only charge me $90 so cheap. Little thinks like to change screw on glasses was free. Chanel also unbelievable service, they change closing class on my Chanel classic jumbo bag and sew inside pocket with zipper (was ripped little) was FREE I was shocked!!! Hermès on another hand are absolutely horrible you wait for 6-8 month to get your bag repaired and they charge really CHARGE, but I prefer to deal with those snubs just to have done originally. Hermès service are insanely horrible!
It amazes me that a company can charge so much for bags that aren't even made that well and that they are made of canvas that can crack! I'll take a well-made leather bag over these any day!
After watching you fix so many of these bags, I would never spend the money they are asking for for one of these. The materials just do not seem as high quality as you would expect.
They are really flimsy and delicate and they don’t even stitch them as well as most cheap jeans or handbags that Walmart or target sells. I rehab handbags, primarily leather ones, and the quality that I have found in some of the “lesser” contemporary designer and even mall brand bags has often shocked me at how well done it is. There is a trend in luxury designers that the older bags are almost always made better than the new ones are… except with LV . Their bags have always been easy to damage and poorly made.
@@leannboser3128 obviously you’ve never had any LV bags! I own many vintage bags as well as new ones. I have bags that are 25 years old & look brand new. It’s all in how they were cared for, some people just don’t take care of their items. LV is great about fixing any known defects or giving you a new bag.
This poor Delightful GM. I have never seen canvas that bad. I almost suspect this bag got wet/damp or something at some point and the canvas weirdly deteriorated. I’ve seen cracks and such but never this bad where it’s falling apart. At least you made it beautiful again. The newer stuff just doesn’t hold up like the old stuff does, pretty unfortunate.
There is a type of very strong flat pulling line used in construction named Mule Tape. I used it for many years prior to retiring. You may find it useful where a flat narrow piece of backing material is needed. You can purchase it, for your possible use, from Amazon. As usual, you did an excellent job. Do you have an apprentice who is stepping to the starting line? Please don't let the art and craft you have mastered die with you.
Always especially love your handbag restoration videos, and this one turned out great as usual. I couldn't help wondering, though: wouldn't it also have been an option for you to restore this bag the way you did the vintage Gucci a month or so ago? The customer was a woman restoring her mother's 30 year old Gucci bag so she could give it back to her as a present, restored. On that one, you cut out a new wider trim piece to cover up the tears in the canvas. Could that have been done for this bag also, covering up the tears at the top without trimming off the damaged area?
@@BedosLeatherworksLLC Yes, *in your hands and with your skills, anything is possible.* I don't think 95% of cobblers out there would even try to save this bag, and if they did try, I don't know that the customer would be happy with the results. That's why women who love their handbags go to you for repairs. It's worth it.
I love your work and videos steve... I have a huge leather collection and have some coach bags for you to work on... I'll be contacting you soon ! Thanks so much for showing us all your years of skills
Well done Steve, another great repair on crappie over priced bag that was badly made in the first place. Anyone that thinks your repairs are wrong needs their head looked at. Best wishes from Scotland. If you don't mind me asking, whats the gold thread you're using?
Great work again Steve.....could i ask y you dont glue the top band on first before stitching??? Is it because the glue can deteriorate the plasticized canvas coating?? Cheers Steve in Aust
You fixed it right up for her Steveroo..! Looks great and she'll be able to use it for years.... Why LV makes these bags out of that plastic material is beyond me though... Buy a leather bag... GG
