I Have a PROBLEM || Autumn Beckman

[@cindila2000]

Hang out up by the handles and put weights, or something weighty, in it and blow dry the canvas to soften it and reshape with the weights as it cools.

[@brononymousrex]

If she got a piece of wood the same size or a little smaller than the base, 1added some weights, hung from the handles, and blow dried the canvas it might remove the wrinkles. It is the only thing I can see helping.

[@AutumnBeckman]

Great idea. Thank you.

[@IMOO1896]

I have a DE6 key holder that is off center when closed, and I used a hairdryer and clips to try to reshape and it worked. I can’t imagine the frustration of trying to reshape your bag. Looks like the best option is having the lining removed and resized, unless you are willing to use a hairdryer each time you carried it. Best of luck.

[@AutumnBeckman]

I'm glad this method worked for you. Thank you.

[@jenniferjassar7630]

You could try to open the lining with a stitch opener & then you would have access to the true inside of the bag to stuff it with some air bag packaging material . (Amazon always ships items with it.) Then you could sew the lining back up & your bag would be shaped better without being too hard or too stiff from the air bags.

[@eiccoaching8642]

Yes, absolutely. I would do that too. You can also get designer bag repair shops to do that if you didn't want to unpick it yourself.

[@AutumnBeckman]

That's probably the only real option but I'd only want LV to do it. Not sure if they will or how much it would cost.

[@jenniferjassar7630]

@@AutumnBeckman : If you can find a nice SA, they should be able to send it back to LV for replacing the whole canvas. You would have to pay for that though...

[@chayheretoday9890]

Roxy seems much more comfortable in front of the camera. I get the feeling she knows she is safe and at home... so happy for you both. Yes I’d love to see your journey re Trevi, it’s interesting to see how much the canvas has changed from then to now!

[@AutumnBeckman]

Thank you. I think she does know she's home and feels safe. She's a sweetheart.

[@Twisted_stitches_leather]

Rago Brothers in New Jersey fixed a few of my wife’s bags and did a super job with fast service.

[@sweetestdrugforyou6938]

Have you tried pushing the canvas inwards? Like flattened the bag and thry to push the canvas inwards. I store my trevi pm with handles standing up to avoid the handle smiley look creasing in the front.

[@AutumnBeckman]

I'm not sure what you mean.

[@harmonyrecordsinc1]

I dont understand why LV will not deem it defected ..and fix it for u...I mean...they made it...smh

[@leeleelv]

Harmony Records Inc I literally just left the same comment , it wouldn’t be the first time they didn’t take responsibility for their defective products ! Smh

[@AutumnBeckman]

I don't see it as a defect, I think whoever had the bag before me just didn't treat it properly.

[@harmonyrecordsinc1]

@@leeleelv It's such a beautiful bag, and it's her dream bag...it hurts my heart that she can't enjoy it...someone suggested that she send it to an LV restoration service...I think it's worth trying.

[@harmonyrecordsinc1]

@@AutumnBeckman whoever sold that bag to you...should have told you the problem...I am sure in the pictures, it seemed as if it could have been molded back into shape or something...I hope that she/he is subscribed to ur channel and they feel super bad about that...

[@AutumnBeckman]

I purchased it from Bag, Borrow, or Steal and it was final sale. There were photos of it but it was my first LV purchase and I didn't realize this was damage that I wouldn't be able to fix. I didn't know any better. I was swayed by the price which was a few hundred lower than other Trevi bags at the time. Live and learn.

[@aubiegirl76]

I just recently purchased an LV Reporter PM and the edges roll inward at the piping. It's not completely annoying but it would be great if a hair dryer could correct it.

[@AutumnBeckman]

You mean like the do on the Speedy? That's so annoying.

[@aubiegirl76]

Yep! I've seen Speedys online with the same problem. The only Speedy I have is my Multicolore and fortunately it hasn't done that.

[@JoleeSO]

If it were me, and ONLY if it were me and I planned on never getting rid of the bag, I would cut the lining in a nice clean cut slit in the bottom of the bag, then stuff the bag until I get the shape that I want...then blow dry it and heat it up, then leave it that way stuffed, and hang it with a long strap by the d-rings and let it rest, stuffed and shaped for a month..then put a base shaper/organizer in. I wouldn't resew the lining as it is obviously too small for the bag. The slit would be covered by the purse organizer/ base shaper. There are several places that make custom base shaper, purse organizers, that is what I would do, if it were my bag. The reason that I say this is because my speedy b 25 in episode 2017 has a denting problem on the top and it is CLEAR to me that the issue is that the lining is actually a bit too tight in the bag. Just a wee too small, but LV doesn't see it as a flaw (well, the SAs anyway) I don't think they are all trained the same way.

[@AutumnBeckman]

Thank you.

[@lesliecraven3087]

I feel your pain. In reading some of the other comments I agree perhaps you may find somebody to fix it but perhaps not I would split the lining open stuff it and weight it hang it from the handles and hairdryer it into the shape that it should be make sure the stuffing and the weight keep it that way and let it harden up again. You may have to hair dryer it a couple of times trying to work out the wrinkles and then leave it that way for at least a week. I also think that this bag should be hung on a hook and never stored up right. I must say however that the malleable quality of Canvas is what I like about it best

[@AutumnBeckman]

Good ideas. Thank you.

[@elainej3392]

Was the original belt missing from this bag as well or did you remove it?

[@AutumnBeckman]

It's in my closet. I remove straps when storing my bags.

[@Graceandherhandbag]

It seems to me like the lining needs to be opened in order to better get at the canvas. I’ve had good luck with the hair dryer in the past, but I didn’t have the lining issue that bag has. It’s too bad is right! It’s such a beautiful bag. 💗

[@AutumnBeckman]

I agree. I'm going to ask LV about the lining next time I go in.

[@melissaorgeron9161]

love the baby more than the bag!!! love your information!

[@AutumnBeckman]

Me, too. ;)

[@baglady61154]

I think the sides need to be pleated more sharply to bring the sides smaller . Try another LV store.maybe they can undue the lining and work the canvas.

[@AutumnBeckman]

Good idea.

[@SuysRomy]

Could you keep the shape with a large bag organizer, that is high as well.I think the corners of the bag will always be a problem...I hope you find a solution.Lots of love from Belgium.Xx

[@AutumnBeckman]

I've tried an organizer. Didn't help the outside of the bag. Thanks, though.

[@NopieOpie1]

I had an LV once that I tried everything I could to restore. It was a headache and over time I realized it was a waste of money to keep. I sold it and got something else I wanted and could use without compromising my feelings about it. There’s another trevi out there that needs a home and someone who would love the one you have now. Just consider it. Good luck :)

[@AutumnBeckman]

I've thought about but I'd have to take a big loss on it and I haven't been willing to do that. Thanks, though.

[@StephDiane84]

What about weights? Like a 10-20 lb. weight to stretch it down, then stuff the bag (with the weights still in the bag) to the shape you want, and then blow dry the bag so that as it cools, all of the things in there will help to maintain the shape you created

[@AutumnBeckman]

Good idea. Thanks.

[@ltony6907]

Hi Autumn, I love the bag, sorry for the issues. What is the name of the bag. Thanks so much :)

[@AutumnBeckman]

It's the Louis Vuitton Trevi in the GM size.

[@ARuralSquirrel]

Found your channel while I was looking for a fix for cracked coated canvas on a Dooney Bourke bag ( haven't found a single video about that BTW) and loved your content! #subscribed!

[@maireadnic8280]

How about storing it upside down, propped onto narrowish magazine rack perhaps? Not the prettiest display mechanism, but gravity will work with you then at least? I think you’re right about it needing the professionals at it, but working with the hair dryer on one spot at a time (ie day) and setting hard with the cool shot of the hair dryer may help a little if the professional repair is out of reach.

[@AutumnBeckman]

Thanks for the ideas but I think it's at a point where LV needs to remove the lining, reshape the bag, and replace the lining. :(

[@pearlesme8561]

I’m wondering if the canvas is uneven??

[@AutumnBeckman]

Hmm. That's a thought.

[@designerbaglady6704]

I always say sell and rebuy. I sold my portobello GM for about $1200 even though it had small cracks at the very top. As long as you show everything about the bag and are 100% honest, you can sell it on eBay or the Facebook pages pretty easily. Some people are not as picky as you and I. 😜

[@AutumnBeckman]

I feel like I'd have to take a huge loss on it if I sold it in this shape. I haven't been willing to do that. I've also become really paranoid about selling to individuals online because I've read too many stories on the Facebook group about scammers.

[@designerbaglady6704]

Autumn Beckman aw, good luck 💗

[@marquezdennis]

Did you ever manage to fix it? I really hope so!!!

[@AutumnBeckman]

Nope. Sold it and purchased another that didn't have those issues.

[@carolegendler2568]

This is a real problem especially as you are so fond of the bag. You need LV or an expert to give you a quote. It’s quite obvious, now that you have mentioned it, that the lining is the problem. This, as somebody has mentioned, should be a manufacturing fault. It therefore should be given to LV to give their opinion if nothing else. You might mention that their reputation is at stake especially with your you-tube following. I would make a big deal of this with them. But then I have an attitude when it comes to dealing with power ! ! They are after all a massive operation. Best of luck. Keep is informed. X

[@AutumnBeckman]

Thank you. I'll ask them about it again next time I'm in the store.

[@jason9766]

What about hanging it from the handles and having a heavyish weight inside. "The lining?" :/ Or zip it closed with a weight inside and hang upside down, and wedge the bag somehow so it hangs? Over time it might fall into shape.

[@AutumnBeckman]

Great idea!

[@jason9766]

@@AutumnBeckman yeah maybe hang upside down and wedge the bottom between 2 desks or something. To support it. Good luck!

[@jason9766]

I think that the problem really is the lining. I'd cut the lining and insert a bag organiser, as the real problem is the bag isn't having weight to pull out the material.?

[@chaneelwalker4108]

Have you try placing an organizer inside to give it some shape without damaging your handbag.

[@AutumnBeckman]

Yes. Didn't work.

[@SENIORSTYLE]

Did you try leather surgeons

[@AutumnBeckman]

Yes. They told me they don't work on LV canvas...at least not this problem.

[@SENIORSTYLE]

Ok that’s to bad nice bag leather surgeons cleaned my lamb skin peekaboo and fixed the broken handle and reglazed its off white and it looked like someone took blue ink and went back and and forth on the front and back plus the bottom and inside was black stained. I wonder if you could get rubber large clamps with lite heat and then folding it in if that would stay. To bad about LV repair couldn’t fit it because they would have the commercial machine to press it back into place. Thanks Susan

[@SENIORSTYLE]

Autumn Beckman maybe contact Michelle Blanca from little mamas house she is a professional LV restoration person she is on face book and she has her own business she helped me restore my LV toiletry 15. Just some ideas I know what it’s like to have messed up bags. I happy you got Roxie she is so cute

[@mmdaisylover64]

I just love Roxy’s Mohawk . 🤣 on the bag , it’s unfortunate but I would let the experts deal with it.

[@AutumnBeckman]

Her Mohawk needs its own channel!

[@JillMaurer]

Ugh! It's so frustrating! Your idea of the frame bottom with the two vertical supports seems good. Also if you could softly grip it from the bottom and hang it upside down it might help. That lining seems wrong though. Are other Trevis like that? Would LV fix it? Looking forward to seeing the end of this story and how everything gets resolved! Good luck!!

[@AutumnBeckman]

I don't know if other Trevi bags have their lining like this. I would assume so but I don't know. There is so little information about this bag online.

[@JillMaurer]

@@AutumnBeckman Joshie Michael here on KZbin just got a GM and uploaded a video about it a few days ago. At about 13:00 he shows the lining, and it looks like it forms to the bag. He's very nice and am sure would answer any questions you have about it.

[@kristak1102]

Sounds like you really love the bag and would be worth sending it out to be fixed. 😉

[@AutumnBeckman]

It might be. Depends on what LV would charge.

[@kristak1102]

Autumn Beckman have you gotten a quote from purse rehab? Maybe they’d be more reasonable?

[@recyclinrox]

your pup is so cute!

[@AutumnBeckman]

Thank you. :)

[@whomadethewordword5035]

Cut the lining, stuff it into shape and carefully use a blow dryer, then hand stitch up the lining

[@AutumnBeckman]

I wouldn't want to cut the lining myself but I'll ask LV about it next time I'm in.

[@cquinnth]

Why can’t Louis "Vuitton replace the lining?????? That doesn’t seem right.

[@AutumnBeckman]

Maybe they can. I didn't ask about that when I took it to them a year or two ago. Next time I visit I'll ask about it.

[@Mimi31_]

I’m not sure how much it would cost to repair. But I recommend selling it and using the money to buy another one in better quality.

[@AutumnBeckman]

I've thought about that but I'd have to take a huge loss on this bag to be able to sell it and I'm not yet willing to do that.

[@Ellebee217]

Maybe hang it and let gravity help over time. A warm room could also help. My makeup room gets really hot with the heater on and all my lights at my vanity. I hung my speedyBs on my wardrobe rack and with the hot room they don’t have a single crease!

[@AutumnBeckman]

Good ideas. Thanks.

[@Stuffi3s]

I agree with what others have said, sell this one and buy another one to replace it that's in better condition. Or even go down a size? I find this bag much prettier and manageable in a smaller size.

[@AutumnBeckman]

I've thought about it but I'd have to take a big loss if I sold it in this condition and I'm not willing to do that. I do agree that the PM size would be better for me. The GM is very heavy and bulky.

[@fabulousirene]

I think it is the problem of lining. I think you may want to use very stiff bag insert. The one you are using is very soft. I totally understand your feelings of this bag, it really odd design. Great video. Your puppy is sooooo cute.❤️

[@AutumnBeckman]

Thank you. :)

[@pearlesme8561]

Is this common with this style? If not, go in and pay for the liner or use someone that the fb group recommends.

[@AutumnBeckman]

I don't know. THere's so little information online about the Trevi.

[@YosheaLux]

I wish I can tell you where to send your bag to get it fixed!! You like the bag. So it may be worth you getting it fixed!!💕❤️

[@AutumnBeckman]

I think it would be worth it. Thanks.

[@birtejohnsen9804]

It look like there is too much canvas, or there is underpressure between the canvas and interior.

[@AutumnBeckman]

Might be. I just don't know.

[@AlanaWatersPiper]

Gosh, I think I’d go back to LV and see if you get a different repair person. Sometimes with anything customer service, just talking to a different person helps. I’m sorry about your bag! It’s beautiful otherwise. :)

[@sherrycohen1824]

So true! Some people just don't want to be bothered.

[@AutumnBeckman]

The guy I spoke with was very helpful, he just didn't know what to do. We didn't discuss removing the lining but I'll ask about it next time I'm in.

[@tylerteaches7620]

Whenever you mentioned the lining, I always thought it would be best to remove the lining and try to reshape it. If you were to remove the lining and then try to reshape the bag would Louis Vuitton be able to replace the lining? I know they will not fix the canvas so maybe if you fix the canvas they can replace the lining? Just an idea. I would definitely figure the lining replacement method before doing so. I love your videos, good luck shaping her back!

[@AutumnBeckman]

I think that's the only real solution but I don't know if LV will do it or how much it will cost. Their repairs are so pricey.

[@marciamorris6626]

The front still looks great . I think the problem might be that you are trying to fix it from the inside . When you stuff it there is only pressure on the inside. Maybe there needs to be force from the inside and outside like a press. could you try putting the dob kit inside the bag then setting it in a deep box and stuffing the cavity around it. Or work on one side at a time and press between two books kind of like pressing a leaf. Since you are a teacher you could ask the science or physics teacher about this. I can’t quite explain it scientifically but maybe something about opposing forces or some law of physics . Anyway that’s what I would try . Good luck and remember it’s still a beautiful bag . Sometimes the things that challenge us turn out to be most rewarding because of the challenge Blessings and Peace🙏🏻

[@AutumnBeckman]

Hmm. That's a good idea. I'll see what I can do. I did use clips on the pleats once and they didn't do any good.

[@susanlabarca171]

[@nanaf3303]

I don’t think you are letting it get hot enough. It appears to have been left in a frozen car or space that forces it to take on the shape it is now. Get it really warm And then pinch it. Low isn’t working.

Have u actually used this bag out?

[@AutumnBeckman]

Yes. Many times.

[@sherrycohen1824]

I was thinking about this as I was folding laundry (when good ideas come to me!). My first luxury purchase was a Gucci shoulder bag at Bloomingdale's. It had a nylon lining, which tore. Bloomingdale's gave me a hard time about fixing it, even though I had the receipt that proved I bought it there. They fixed it for free.Many people who bought the Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis complained of different problems with their bags and the company vehemently denied there were any issues. Someone returned it to the company and bought something else and then a year or so later bought another Pochette Metis. No issues! Also, they changed something else on the bag, but that's neither here nor there. If I were you, I would go back to the store and insist that they send it for a new lining that fits properly. I'm sure it will come back in good shape. Even if you have to pay, it will be worth it if you could stuff it with sealed air bags to keep its [fixed] shape. You would then get a lot more use out of it. Also, another thought. Have the boyfriend take it in. There is still a lot of sexism out there. They may take him more seriously, especially if he hints that he will get you something new to go inside the bag once it's repaired properly.

[@AutumnBeckman]

Good ideas. Thank you. I should try taking it in to LV again and seeing what they'd say.

[@beans09]

I love Roxy, I want her!!!! Will Roxy be getting her own KZbin channel? I'd watch, lol!!!

[@AutumnBeckman]

She needs her own channel but she'll have to figure out how to do it on her own. I don't have time. ;)

[@leeleelv]

I really wish I knew what to recommend for you to do I have heard the blow drying method although I’ve never seen before & after results from any youtubers before I still have my Trevi Pm and weirdly the lining goes all the way down to the bottom at least from what I remember I haven’t used it in awhile I’m going to check it out when I go home there is a place in NJ called Rago brothers I’m not sure if that’s the place Grace recommend because I’m typing as I’m watching and I missed the name I wonder if they could help I think most of the bag restoration places work with leather not many are knowledgeable when it comes to LV canvas I am so so careful with my Trevi from watching you fight with your bag I don’t want that to happen to mine I think sadly that’s why it’s been sitting in the closet my most used bags right now are my Givenchy antigona and my Melie the Melie is so squishy I actually love that it’s squishy ! Your doggie is so so adorable ,my Sophie is such a good chihuahua I’m so glad we chose to adopt her they really bring such joy I agree you need to find a professional to remove the liner reshape the bag and then reattach the liner it really is 1 of their most beautiful bags I think I hope you find a fix for it Autumn xo

[@sherrycohen1824]

Which means that this lining was not the right one for this bag. LV needs to replace it. When they do that, they will no doubt reshape the bag.

[@leeleelv]

Sherry Cohen I’m wondering if you could be right because I have the Trevi in the Pm size , my lining goes all the way to the bottom , I wonder if the lining not fitting correctly could be a defect on LV’s part , either way it would be nice for Autumn if they took it and repaired the issue, considering they produced the bag !

[@AutumnBeckman]

Thank you. Next time I'm at LV (probably won't be until after the New Year because I don't want to deal with Galleria crowds and traffic) I'll ask them about removing the lining and reshaping it. I hope they can do it and that it won't cost an arm and a leg.

[@leeleelv]

Autumn Beckman I really hope so too ,Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and let me know how you make out at LV when you go ! I sure hope they help you xoxo

[@TheStubbornStitcher]

I might try a hatter - they may be able to block and shape it like a cowboy hat. Most cowboy hats are straw or beaver so maybe canvas would work the same. otherwise, you just may be stuck with it the way it is.

[@AutumnBeckman]

Interesting idea. Thanks.

[@mariamcleod4236]

I think your bag has a design flaw. Are you aware if all bags of this design have this type of lining?

[@AutumnBeckman]

I'm not sure. I've never seen another one in the shape this on is in. I think whoever had it before me just didn't treat it well.

Do you think that is a factory defect with the bag? That is definitely a style I’d never buy. A bag that retailed for that kind of money should never have that issue. 🤨
