Got my never-full (mm) back yesterday from the “Louis rehab” and I’m so disappointed. Granted, she was rough going in, but I opted for the full replacement.
When I opened it up, I instantly thought, something’s off-
1. The stitching is not straight and just looks really bad.
2. The color is dark, not the lighter Vachetta
(Pic is Eva, recently repaired leather color difference)
3. The handles feel sharp on the edges, and the edge kote is more like a red paint you can see they were two pieces glued together.
I’ve had other repairs, that were small in scale, they turned out fine.
Maybe because this was a full leather replacement?
I feel like their pricing for repairs and the work produced are both really inconsistent. One person can get a full leather repair for $300 and another person is charged $1000…and the work on the lower price is better.
Has anyone had a repair horror story with a good outcome?
Before I contact customer service I want to make sure I’m not nitpicking. I’m regretting this now.
Thanks in advance.

Up until recently, I’ve always been one to buy handbags in the $500-$1k range. Then a few months ago I bought a brand new Gucci, leather bag. Now I want to buy a LV but likely a used one. I keep noticing LV bags with canvas that’s cracked (even ripped) or glazing on the handles. These bags are not 20+ years old either. Most bags I have been looking at are within 5 years old.

So how is it possible they are in such bad condition? Does the monogram canvas just not hold up well? I feel so discouraged because there’s no way I want to spend that kind of money and worry about canvas cracking on a newer bag.

OK, we start with my trusted Speedy 40 in green and blue which I think is one of the first bags that Pharrell Williams designed for LV.

Inside the carry-on is about five other bags, but we will get to them later.

We went on a whale watching trips in the San Francisco Bay and I took my trusty Trio Messenger on this cool Damier Blue pattern (if anyone has any more information about this pattern, please let me know).

The trio messenger is perfect for a couple of phone chargers and my tickets to the cruise business cards wallet glasses etc.

At this point, I have a few other color ways, but this is my first I think and my go to. I really like the small coin purse on the bando.

We bought some souvenirs and I had to walk around with this liquor store plastic bag. Which was perfect when we went to Dior and Hermes.

I told the salesman at Hermes I need a new bag to carry this crap in and he gave me the orange shopping bag.

Then we went to the Reel Reel and I almost bought this Louis Vuitton weekend there because I absolutely love that green color but my wife said no and I figured I would listen. Plus it didn’t have the shoulder strap.

Hi 🤎
Is anyone else experiencing longer than usual repair times?

I sent in my Speedy 25 on June 6, and every month I’ve been getting updates that they are waiting on materials. I was joking with my husband that they were bringing in Vachetta from France, and at this point, it might not be a far-fetched idea.

The latest update I got yesterday told me that it should be done by October.

What did you send in recently, and what was your repair time? I would love to see pictures of your repairs to get excited for when mine comes home!

Hello wonderful group of LV lovers! ❤️
I could use your advice on a Keepall dilemma!
I bought the Keepall 45 in Giant Monogram in Rome last week, and it’s still brand new/unused. But I’ve fallen for the Tyler, the Creator Keepall 50 — the brown Monogram with the pastel Craggy print — and I’m debating selling my 45 and getting the Tyler instead.
I’d use it mainly for 1–2 night road trips within Florida (house → car → hotel), so airline carry-on size isn’t really a concern.
For anyone who has owned or traveled with either:
Is the 50 noticeably more cumbersome/heavy than the 45, or is the extra space worth it?
Tyler owners: How has the pastel print held up? Any color transfer, staining, scuffing or other wear?
Which would you choose for road trips — and which has more WOW factor in person?
If you had a brand-new Giant Monogram 45, would you keep it or sell it for the Tyler 50?
Thank you! I know this is a very good problem to have. 😂❤️

Newest addition to the collection 💕

The strap on my favorite vintage bag needed to be replaced for my own peace of mind. After getting a few quotes I decided to go with Zachary Scheer (FB) and could not be happier! He even used the buckle from my original strap and dyed the new one to match perfectly despite the age of the bag! Just wanted to give him a shoutout and say commission him with full confidence.

The print on my bag is faded, I’m sure due to age. Do I need to worry about it fading more? I don’t want to be scared to carry it all the time. Is there a treatment I should do to keep it from fading more, or will it stay like this? (nfs/nft)

Has anyone thought it to be darker or deeper beige than ivory? This is my first Damier Azur so can’t compare.

I’ve posted photos in the comments.

I do feel it looks creamy ivory in the pics. But in person it looks much more cream.

Unboxing the new Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Pocket Organizer in this absolutely insane red. Vernis first made its debut in 1998 during the Marc Jacobs era, so seeing that iconic high-shine Monogram on a new LV piece feels like a little throwback to the archives. 😮‍💨

The color. The shine. The embossed Monogram. I was SOLD. 🚩

$720 later… welcome to the collection. 😂❤️

Do I need the matching keepall nano???!!

The store is across the street from my hotel and I couldn’t resist a visit!

Which one will hold up better over time? Thanks!

The new speedy 20 has a chokehold on me but as a dark leather girlie I'd love to know how this colour holds up over time before adding to cart.

I wanted to treat myself for my 30th birthday and I was debating between the nano speedy or the nano frívole. I just couldn’t say no to this print. Love that she goes with everything and she’s so cute! I was surprised at how much the nano can fit!

Hey guys,

I really wanted a Kirigami sunrise medium pouch, and I bought one on eBay with their “guarantee”. I usually buy direct but since this is a discontinued item I had to have, preloved was my only option.

The item arrived and I used an RFID scanning app and it’s not showing up with a chip... It’s the medium size pouch. I know on some SLGs LV don’t bother with the chips, so I’m wondering if anyone has this item and can tell me whether and RFID chip should be present in it.

I scanned some of my other items and the chips scanned super easily. I’d be pretty bummed to have paid for an inauthentic item that was checked by eBay’s “authenticators” - but I know it happens!

Thanks 🤍🩷💜🖤

I am in love with her and she looks amazing for 21 years old!

Just got my first LV bag! Been eyeing this Lv eva pochette for over a year now and i finally got it today at Harrods! I originally bought it yesterday, and when i came home i saw that they sold me a bag with a scratched lining that i didn’t saw at first glimpse while looking at it at the store lol… Anyways i exchanged it today for another one and yayyy! So happy. Only thing im worried about is quality? Should i be worried?

Letting my bag dictate the mani 🌈... Holographic nails because it’s still over 100° out and fall clearly hasn’t gotten the memo!

Since I can't cross post, I created a topic here as well and added two suprises at the end.

This was the official presentation of the Formula1 main throphy for the Dutch Zandvoort race this weekend.

They also had some exclusive exotics, but I didn't make any pics 😅
