I am really surprised that the store charged you. My store replaced mine on my Speedy 25 for free. I took another bag in to be repaired, and when I was there I mentioned that my tab ripped, and they jhst took it in the back and gave it to me. Maybe that made up for all of the times I didn't get champagne??? I can't figure out why they do what they do. I'm glad you had a good experience though.
I recently bought an 18 year old Speedy 30. I got a good deal on it because one of the rivets was broken. I took it in for repair, no receipt, they didn't hassle me at all. $30 repair and they even gave me a new dust bag, box, and shopping bag when I picked it up. It was packaged up like a brand new piece! Easy peasy!
Very interested in seeing the new paint job on your speedy I have n old speedy in fact my first speedy (memories)not sure what to do with it I purchase @ LV boutique but she needs tlc & I don’t want to let her go. Can’t wait to see yours all done😊
I know this comment is 2 years later. But to answer your question, Angelus Direct is the company to go through for high quality leather paints. They mainly cater to sneaker heads who customize shoes. But if they don't have what youre looking for, than you dont need it. Ive been a customer for years. I love everything they have to offer. You won't regret it.
My friend bought an Evora MM from the LV store in Neiman Marcus in VA back in 2012 and she wanted to order a longer strap to carry as a cross body. (The strap it comes with is only long enough for shoulder wear). So her "Operations Specialist" said she would order one for her from LV. On the back of the card she wrote Damier Speedy Bandauliere Strap Repair. On the receipt it says Keepall band .45 (Repair) and she was charged $140. This strap has a shoulder patch like for luggage and is pretty long, about 46 inches. I have seen them on the website for over $300 but they currently do not have the same one, in Ebene, listed. My friend at the time, did not know that much about LV, so she didn't know how much the strap was supposed to cost. I think the sales associate did her a huge favor! Have you heard of this?
Yes, I've heard that if a strap is ordered as a repair or replacement piece that it costs less than purchasing it on its own or "retail." It's great for those whose SA will give them the repair/replacement price but I don't think that's fair of LV to do that to those buying it retail. It should be the same price for everyone just like service should be the same for everyone...in my opinion. That's awesome for your friend, though!
Yes, she was a little horrified when she realized what had happened, because she's an honest person and would never have asked for this. Thanks for your videos! They are very informative. I have learned a lot and now I am mildly obsessed with some LVs that I didn't think I wanted!
I repaired the vachetta on my Raspail MM that is now discontinued. It was pretty pricey but the canvas was perfect I just wasn’t educated on vachetta so my handles were really dark. I had an awesome experience and the repair brought my bag back to brand new. It’s about 6 years old. That’s what I love about Lux bags they pretty much last forever if you take care of them!!!
I’ve been waiting for a video like this!! I have a preloved bucket bag that needs the lining replaced, will they repair it even if I don’t have an account at LV? I heard it costs a couple hundred dollars but I’d love to get it done at the store!
Amanda Walker Hi Amanda! Yes they will. You take it to a LV store, they'll look it over to make sure it's authentic. Then, they'll go into system and quote you a price and estimated time it'll take to repair. You pay after the bag is repaired & returned. Oh, if the canvas is cracked, they won't repair it.
I wonder if the new lighter tag will dye to the same shade of black. Love that the tags i completed in store! I’m still editing my repair video but it was an INTERESTING experience. Thanks for sharing
I painted (dyed) mine - got a video of it, too. It turned out GREAT (in my opinion). I also recently dyed my keepall 50 (video coming this week). I highly recommend it - not too hard! Love your channel, BTW, Autumn! We have quite a bit in common (I'm a teacher and a doxie lover, to start!)
Love your outfit today, the whole look is amazing from the earrings to the white top (white looks amazing on you by the way) 😍 Very classy as always Autumn 👏
I had 3 LV's repaired 1) Speedy 30 from 2000 I had all the leather replaced inside and out plus a new pocket/2) Pet Noe all the leather plus the D ring and 3) Saumur 35 all the leather plus all the metal. The Speedy was a nightmare but all the rest where ok on Average it too 4 months for each.
I support you if you're really set on painting and look forward to the outcome... BUT the patina on that bag is gorgeous if you wanted to get some saddle soap and scrub it up!
That is what is keeping me from painting it. It does have a great patina but needs to be cleaned. I had a bad experience with the Magic Eraser cracking the vachetta on my vintage Noe but I haven't tried saddle soap. Maybe I should give that a shot.
I bought a Speedy 35 from a Japanese reseller last summer. Paid about $230 for it. It was in good shape but dirty, dirty, dirty. I scrubbed with saddle soap, moisturized, scrubbed, moisturized. In between scrubbings, I stuffed it and let it sit in bright sunshine to dry. It came out well. But it was a process. I was going for a more vintage, honeyed patina and it was a great bag for that. Good luck if you decide to do it. Make a video!
Just curious as I’m new to the LV world and do not have a store anywhere near me....do you know if you can just buy luggage tags in store to attach to bags?
My experience has been mixed. Luggage tags are typically considered a replacement part. Some stores won't sell unless you are buying (or have bought) a bag with them. Others let you buy them, no hassle.
Hi Autumn, per your suggestion I joined the LV Addicted FB group, someone posted that they have a ton of LV lock and key sets for $35 and I'd like to get one for my Keepall 50...how does buying work on there? Can I trust with absolute certainty that the lock is authentic LV...$35 seems cheaper than expected? Please advise! By the way I love your videos.
You can just go to LV and buy a brand new one. I think they cost 35 as well. Maybe 40 and the most. I went in and asked for a silver one and they just gave it to me at no charge. It always depends on the SA

when u start to paint ,please let us know what type of paint is suggested to use

I got a LV speedy that needed TLC had it fixed and colored black and have to say I loved it ... it looks like a new bag ..

I love the idea of painting bags! I've thought about doing something like that to my "Firkin" Can't wait to see what you decide!

I know this is an older video but did you end up dyeing the bag? I have a 40 that I dyed black (the vachetta) and I really like it.

Love that you can fix the bags. Good video!

I’ll be going to the Denver one in about a week, I can see if they have the Texas one
I don't have a Louis near me, so I need to send in an Alma from the 80s to have tthe handles replaced. Any idea how much that costs?
I’ve been waiting for this since yesterday!!
Do you know a ball park range of what it would cost to have all the vachetta replaced? Just curious.
$540-$590 depending on the piece!
You should check MonsieurAshley and the method he has to get a nice honey colour on the vachetta leather....a baby wipe!
Looking forward to the finished product! 😊
Beautiful vintage speedy.

It depends who you know Autumn when it comes to luggage tag your best bet is to ask a friend to help you out

Corey Farris how much do luggage tags run for from LV?

They are a PayPal only group. Contact the seller and give them your email. Then they'll send you an invoice for the piece. I've never had a problem!

You look very pretty today. The new necklace is fabulous! Have a great dinner.
It looks good! Glad they didn’t hassle you!
You look beautiful with those earrings. Great video
Nice! 💗
Cool project. Thanks for sharing...SuzWhat 🌻🌼🌻🌼
